Item Transmogging (change Item Textures) 45+ Supporters

Basically what that means is that you'd be able to change the skin of an item. If we're already getting a new feature in gavel that will "magically" change items into the new type, could we possibly implement this too? (ofc with no rush). So this could possibly work with a new currency that could also get more money to the server, possibly so that if you buy vip you could get "vip credits" or something that could be used to do this. (or gc, idk) So heres the basic idea:
You have a Blue Mask item, but you don't like how it looks... by transmogging it you could change it to any other skin in the game (and wynn could even sell some really cool skins for more money) without changing its stats! I'm assuming currently the skin plugin detects the name of the item, what if it was made to detect a tag? Here are some example pictures:

Normal Blue Mask:

New Blue Mask:

Transmogged Blue Mask:


And now the blue mask in the final image would render nether caps skin :) Thats about it.

Also if it's possible you could also add this to the weapons with the resource pack as long as a player has optifine or mcpatcher on as those allow to change the texture according to tags I think! And in 1.9 this could work using damage values (because you can change textures by damage tag in it I think)

Okay since I got a question about how this would work, here is one type of idea:
You need to have the item you want to transmog to. It could work through a GUI like this:
Normal transmog with an item you already have:


(item surrounded in green = item that gives the skin)
Skin shop:

R-Click would give a link to the skin view in chat
and upon L-Clicking the custom skin you get this GUI:


After confirmation it turns green:

and results to:

The item becomes untradable after transmogging so people can't sell rare textures for profit
You also can't use Untradable items to transmog more item so that the balance stays!

More good ideas have risen, thank you aaronjrod! To prevent level 1 guys looking like lvl 75, make it so that the skin comes with a level limit, possibly like:

And now because you are trying to transmog a lvl 25 item with a lvl 68 item, the wool would turn red and show:

(basically meaning that the item you're trying to transmog is lower level than the desired texture's item)

And also to remove a transmog you could just have a simple menu like this:


if items don't match:

(notice it says "Nether Cap" but on the other side is a diamond helmet)

And if the other item wasn't untradable same would happen:

(this item isn't the original one used because it's not untradable too, therefore it wouldn't accept it)
So now you couldn't get the skin and then just sell the item away, but instead need both original items to also remove it!

More about the currency:
Basically it's just my idea where VIPs could get VIP Credits as currency :) It would work like a monthly reward or you could use gc to get more. It's just an additional idea to increase the rank sales.

TLDR: A way to change item skins, wynn gets more money, doesn't break the economy

 

Although I've seen this feature on a well-known Server before (...)
it is quite a good idea, even tho it would take a lot of work to implement

I like the pictures you added! :)

 

Wait really? What server o_O? I pulled this idea out of WoW heh :D But thanks for the feedback!

 

I am not going to post any names, but it is quite well-known :3

 

I'm sure you can just say the name... and if not can you private message me :D?

 

Huh, reminds me of a skin pack feature on a game called Heroes of the Storm made by Blizzard also :P

 

I really like this idea; would there be a GUI where you select the transmogging skin, or would there be an online database with it's own search engine where you select the skin? This could be a big money maker for Wynncraft, as I do like the skins of some armour although they are quite low level and quite bad items so this would be great! -Cough Cough Helmet of Intelligence -

 

Hmm, haven't thought of this yet. I guess it could work so that you have to have the item to get the skin? A bit like in WoW. For the custom skins that aren't actually in the game yet you could have a GUI... it would be really tedious to go through EVERY item in Wynncraft to find that one skin you want. Then again there should be a way to see the skin first so that could be shown online? Like at the store or which ever way you could get them.

 

Why no1 comments :( I want feedback and that stuff......

 

Time.
Bumps.

 

so say I buy vip+ and use my credits can I get more somehow?

 

Buy more >.<
Thats how it already works

 

well if it used my idea of vip credits you could get them maybe monthly.. but I guess u could also buy more? it would just be a reason to get vip basically.

 

What server was it? i just knnow this idea from WoW :P

 

+1 Soo amazing many wow

 

much amazement very feedback many love

 

Sorry but the beauty of the armor skins system is that you can size up your competition by what armor they are wearing. "Transmogging" would confuse the player if it showed them wearing a leather cap, but they were actually wearing end game.

 

Well, could be fixed by removing the "Transmogging" in duels.

 

Well then you would just be like:

"This guy will be easy!"
"*duel starting in 10 seconds*"
"*transmogging turns off*"
"OH SHIT!"

The fact that you can tell other peoples' levels makes the game a more immersive experience.

 

Than just disable it *before* your opponent agrees to duel you >.<
