Import variety glasses

Import that thing that adds all different kinds of glasses so they don't change shape, and just use the shape of glass they're poured into. It looks cool, and is neat.

The downside of this system is you lose a lot of unique and beautiful sprites for some of the rarer/fancier drinks. It leads to a lot of beverages looking very samey unless someone went through and resprited every single alcoholic beverage for each individual glass type.

Have it still override the basic glass. Want the special shape, use the normal glass.

Alternatively, 'chameleon glasses'. Not even joking, something stupid-sounding like that would make a fine excuse as a way to keep the current sprites available.

I'm not exactly sure what thing you're referring to (I don't get around to other servers) but how I'm understanding it, it likely won't really work.

 

The way drinks are coded, they are very specifically sprited around one type of glass--it's literally the sprite of the drink, and they aren't separate. So when this drink that you've mixed is poured into a drinking glass, it pops the appropriate sprite into existence. Now, if you pour that same mixed drink into a beaker, it is a flat color. The code for it is just a plain color. No fancy garnishes, no fizzing, no multicoloration. If we add static glasses, that's basically what we'll be facing. A bunch of beakers. At least, that's to my knowledge.
