I have a question about the vampire overlay. I dont know how to do any skinning or body shop stuff other than installing things to use in my game so I don't know if this is possible, but do you think it will be possible to change the default vampire overlay like we can change default nude skins?
I beleive people are working on how to extract the full skin. Once this is done, it seems to me that it would be possible.
I know that the vampire overlay is transparent, but it was also said that the only part of it that wasn't was the eyes and teeth. Could the transparency level of the skin tone be changed and the eyes be made transparent (changing the color to match the skin color of the overlay) so that it had the effect of paling the eyes the same amount (without the red) as the skin is paled for each and every vampire sim in the game without my having to make changes to all of them individually just so they'll look right (to me)?
Yes. I don't know what the alpha on the full body is like, but the eyes can definately be changed and then you can make the rest of the alpha less transparent. I imagine the body would have an editable alpha as well, I can't see why it would not. I know skin tones do not have alphas, but I'm positive the body does, since the vampire skintone is transparent. Then when you get it the way you like it, I bet anything people will be able to replace the default vamp skin.
The cheesy animations though, that I would like to be reassured that someone can fix. I haven't actually made a vampire in my game, worried about my townie population turning, but isn't the cheesy arm over the face a special kind of walk called "stalk"? Do they walk normally otherwise? Maybe someone can make a hack that makes it so that decision is user controlled only.
