Personal photos on ID cards


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am suggesting ID cards that have face of your character in the photo slot on that little ID sprite.

And along with that I would also suggest guest passes losing their photo slot displayed on the sprite.


It would be very simplified and would only show the colour of your hair and the colour of your skin. No haircuts, no eyes.

I believe it should be entirely possible to take the colour of both from character sheet and then use it to paint the picture on every card differently.


Now, what I am suggesting is very similar to already implemented suggestion here:

but I would say that this would add to it in meaningful way.


As for why I think this should be implemented... Of course it is nothing great and only a minor thing, but I feel like it would add a small ammount of personal touch to peoples IDs. If you lose your ID, the new one will have only blank slot.

(12 hrs after posting this...) EDIT:

I forgot about several important problems when I originally wrote this, so, uh. I'll add them here.

Of course facial hair could be a thing there as well. But that might need some tweaking I believe. I said "No haircuts." but that doesnt sound that good to me any-more. I am not sure about the ammount of work requied to make this represent haircuts, but yeah. It might not look very good without them.

(Sigh. This is more complicated than I believed in the beginning.)


As for other races... I do not think it should be much differend from humans. Same issues with individual "haircuts".

Bigger issue might be IPCs, and I am quite honestly not sure what to do about these. Do they take pictures with screen on? Maybe covering the face with the preset square representing the screen... I don't know. This just got way more complicated.
