New avatar options

[Arika]

Basically you buy a character and u dress them up and they become your avatar =]

Full Details but as you can see these characters are not that good, that is why i picked these characters that i have if we can custom make them then this mod will look much better =] ::

Before you read this take a look at my avatar to the left and then take a look at the members who have posted in this thread and see their avatars. Thats what you'll be able to do with this mod. Create your own unique living avatar today!!!!!!!!!

Ok with this sytem you are able to create your own avatar, you can choose different shirts, shoes, hats, glasses, jewlery, have different backgrounds, u can have cars.

The most interesting part about it though is that everything costs "points" so not everyone can have a cool car because it costs more. So basically the more points you have the better your avatar will look. The points work with the arcade system we already have so if you win it big in the arcade you can spend your money on making a really cool and unique avatar.


I've priced things differently because not everything in my opinion is as cool as other things. Like a t-shirt could cost 5 points, when a jacket can cost 50 points. I think you guys get the idea. There are also items that can only be purchased once so u can be the only person who owns it. :P

How to use

1. You will see a link for custom avatar in your >user control panel>edit avatar to go directly to custom avatars. You may be asked to put in a username and password, since the living avatars is integrated into our forums just use your forum name and password.

2. Click on "Purchase Items" then search for the different items you want. Buy them if you have enough points.

3. Then when you are done buying your things click on Edit Avatar within the living avatars page.

4. Take a look at this picture below. That is what you will see in the living avatars page. After you buy your cloths and click edit avatar. Your items will be in your "Edit Avatar" page. If the item you bought is a hat, then click it once so its activated, then click the "Add Item" button and it will be added to the "Avatar Canvas" where you can edit it. Move your "hat" around with your mouse until it fits your avatar once you build it click save, and your avatar will automatically be updated in the forums.




IF you need any help just post here and i'll try to give help


I can't wait to see what some of you guys can create. I've already made my avatar will be buying some cooler stuff like backgrounds once i get some more points ^^


Cloths

backgrounds

hats

cartoons

cars

weapons


Those are just a small portion of the things you can buy for your avatar.

How do I gain points?
The only difference between user groups is this

Staff gets 15 points per post
Support team gets 10 points per post
Members get 8 points per post
Trial members get 5 points per post
Also another way of gaining points to spend is through the arcade, since the arcade costs 15 points per play, those points build up into a jackpot until someone beats the high score and gets the entire jackpot.

She wants a naked pic what you can dress up as you like. ;) I always draw my pic first naked and only after it put on the clothes so it will look more natural and real.

So we just have to render their stuff? Like cutting em? and turn into naked bodies? Can't we make their stuff too?
