Colfer Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 I noticed there was a distinct lack of any literature in the loadout whatso ever, so I was thinking for a book selection for all your reading needs, anything from the classic hardcover to holographic panels to small tags or slabs of material for decoration or as props"What exactly do you mean?" There isn't any bibles or configurable books that you can select in the loadout. Why I am making this suggestion is to add some way to give your character written books that were customizable with any text you could think to put in them, either as a CMO to help new players / to make your own bibles / for comedic effect when spawning as security with a book titled "Guide To Getting Away With Murder (Security Edition)""What do you mean holographic panels?" I mean that it could be neat if a new paper type called the "Holographic slate" was added, which was basically just a glass device that projected text onto its surface, useful for chaplains who want to digitally engrave their commandments onto an unburnable surface, or for chefs to have a new way to make menus. "But colfer, I don't want to write some of the religious commandments of my characters religion, because I want to make them up on the fly" Of course, which is why this suggestion asks for an option for the books to be "readable" and "description only" so you can describe what somebody would find in the book if they happened to open it, rather than reading actual words, since we're all actors and play pretend"Anything else you would like to add?" 1. Hardcover books already have multiple sprites for multiple colors and covers, if a person uses the hypothetical book selection for a hardcover book, then it would be neat to be able to select from all the book covers available except cult, obviously 2. Hopefully not using the library book selection since those can have hundreds at a time, may not be feasible code wise if a person spawns with a library book that no longer exists in the library 3. Maybe a holographic projector book, which "projects" its words similar to holographic projectors in the bar and kitchen, maybe at a more expensive cost in the loadout 4. This suggestion was made because the loadout is entirely barren of any customizable literature, the only exception being business cards, there isnt even a bible in the religion category
Carver Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 I like the thought of being able to bring a bible, quite a lot.
Zer0Winds Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 I absolutely love this idea and was literally just thinking of it a little while ago and how to do it. I especially like the "readable or desc only" thing, and if it is readable, it could be like the business card where you can input your own stuff. The ability to bring your own religious texts is also nice, as a Librarian is not always available to print a bible, nor is it always necessarily a bible specifically you want. Like Colfer said, not having the library selection makes sense. If you want a book from the library you could probably just manually copy-paste it yourself.
