Character Creator fun! (show us your imagination!)

[Timelord Tom]

Great stuff!

Hmm... Timeslip... timeslip... where have I heard that before though...

oh...

right...

In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!


Which... damnit... of course that WOULD remind me that in a fit of madness a couple of years ago for Halloween I drafted a Dr. Frankenfurter costume for Halloween.  >.>;;

WARNING - SEVERE BRAIN BREAKAGE AHEAD - Open at your own risk! Have brain bleach handy!

Spoiler for Hidden:

And of course... *sigh* I HAD to go satisfy my curiosity and check on the costume file. And frighteningly enough, with the Retro-Sci-Fi face and "All" face option set to white it works even BETTER (worse?) now...

(Yes I know - female Dr. Frank - but you can't DO a male version of that costume.)

Which leads of course directly to the OBVIOUS question - how well can you do the REST of the Rocky Horror Picture Show cast?

LMAO. You need to get those costume files to a good demo edit/artist. It'd be funny as all H e Double Hockey Sticks to have a COH version of the time warp vid!

Hmmm.... could there be one out there already? - Just did a search and I'm not finding it.

Or it could be referencing that piece of paper you have to fill in with the hours you work this week.  Not everyone have a time clock for hourly or SAP for salary.

How do you take screenshots of these to post them up? :s

How do you take screenshots of these to post them up? :s

You need to make sure you are not running in full screen mode. Run the game in windowed mode. If you have your client set to full-screen mode, just "back up" to the original log-in screen and use the options settings available there to switch to Windowed mode. Then close that and use the icon program to run it again. It should come up in windowed format then. Alternatively, hit "Alt+Enter" and see if that performs the switch for you.

Full-screen mode was how I always liked to play the game. But in that mode it doesn't allow screenshots from the UI. In windowed mode you can use your regular "Print Screen" button and while it won't save a screenshot to the screenshot folder, it WILL save what you just snapshotted to the standard "clipboard". Just have a viewer program like IRFANView open and use the paste function to open it up. Then crop the picture to taste.

I do highly recommend IRFANView BTW - awesome little program.

Or instead of switching back and forth every time you take a screenshot, use a capture tool that saves the screens directly to your HDD. There are quite a few of those around, both free and commercial.
MWSnap ( http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html )is guaranteed to work on Windows XP, not sure about newer versions.

A little sci-fi thing.

I use snipping tool to get shots of my costumes

[Arachnion]

So I went to check out just how much you could put on one character.

This happened:

(sorry for creepiness in above pic, couldn't resist!)

[Golden Girl]

That's a good example of why letting players decide how much costume clipping they're ok with is the way to go.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Lovely. :)

I think it could be better refined, but its a start.  :)

Is that shot from the game itself? If it is, I have this to say...

WHAT??? HOW??? WHY??? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!

WOW... I have no idea how I missed this the last couple of visits to this thread. That's OUTSTANDING.

Scuze me, I may just steal that for a character idea in a Pen&Paper game I'm considering running. *YOINK!* :D

Yes, its from the game.  You can't do these things in the costume designer, but they're easily achieved doing demoedits.  Here is code of this costume:

But the Pumpkin Head tops it off with a healthy dose of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?  :o

Some quasi-widow I put together. You can tell I like the Organic Armor horns with the Robovictoria hair.

Also it's a shame the robovicky pieces don't fit together with much of anything except for themselves.

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/HellkatPredator/SpectrePsyche_zps51eaaacd.png
Spectre Psyche, who was one of my Live characters. She was meant to be an otherdimensional undead evil Sister Psyche with a little bit of Ghost Widow thrown in.

Hmm, I was going to try a concept that I could never get quite right in the actual game, but it looks like the female longbow tights options are MIA. :(

and my Time Traveler, Timeslip!
