Default Character modelling, needs a black guy!

Two things...

1. I'm sure people will flame me if I haven't noticed already that we do have a black guy, but I'm pretty certain we don't and we need one.


2. There will be more flaming for the pejorative/racist term "black guy", but frankly what do you call a darker skin guy in such a diverse galaxy?

So what is my question?

Well I (although not black) feel the need for a darker skinned character model.
Why? Teal'c anyone? Or perhaps the numerous dark skinned jaffa? Maybe even african-american sg-c soldiers.

I cerntainly would like to see a darker System Lord like Olukun, from the Goa'uld summit. But maybe this is a bit to far-fetched and more for SG WORLDS, which I hope comes out sometime this year seeing as how it was supposed to come out months ago, and still hasn't updated it's new release date.

Yeah, my Girlfriend wanted a female soldier as Carter was only a pure scientist in an alternate timeline. She was vocal about being able to handle any action her male counterparts could ! For the record and example of a pure scientist is rodney Mckay. He even sports a backpack ! lol

Also the Ashrak in the SG-1 series was Male. (ep. Jolinars memories SG-1)

MANY of the Jaffa were clearly of African Descent, and there were even female Jaffa, although they looked more like Amazon warriors (no armor) they fought with Staff's

We can name many colored SGC members throughout the series, all supporting characters in exception of Teal'c : Apophis was very egyptian looking with a heavy tan.

I'd like to see styled skin packs

eg:

Anubis / Baal / Sokar for Goauld

etc.

i'm sure there are plenty of characters to choose from.

Also SGR has a license for Atlantis, which has not even been touched on.... Tayla / Ronin skins.... ????

Our pie-in-the-sky dream is to have both genders of every class, and customizable skin colors. That's something that would happen sometime down the line, though.

Then I can finally have my green Jaffa.

what we need is a character editor, with numerous options for each garment and physical attribute.

This is SGR not SGW! I know what you mean though, its just that all these ideas are pointing towards something that would be in any standard mmorpg.

I'd say just color and gender are needed, any more than that and you risk turning it into something its not, and inevitably ruin the game.

Would it be possible to get a dark-blue hermaphrodite jaffa with white tattoos? Maybe even with a green tail?

Or just allow for texture/model editing client side. It would require a bit of reworking but what they can do is have a hard coded collision mesh (dimensions for character) and then allow the player to use whatever mesh/skin they want for their own graphics. All hit detection and such would still be done using the collision mesh meaning there would be no immediate issues with cheating caused by it and then just have it use the default mesh/texture on clients who don't have that model.

Allows for all sorts of community modification and of course could then hold competitions for the best one/top 3 which could then be added as dlc or w/e.

Sooo much that can be done with community involvement... but it takes a bit of work on the developers side first. Especially if their official stance is to frown on client modification (which from what I remember reading, they currently do) cause I'm sure you can edit stuff as it is... just doesn't allow for people to share their work very easily.

I like the idea of customizing your avatar even in a shooter. It's that individual touch. The options maybe limited, but it would be an interesting move.

What we need is to sneak the entirety of SGW in SGR's back door.

sgr can pretty much become sgw over time. imagine for example, one or more 50x50 servers for each map, with the ability to use the stargates to travel to other maps. you'd basically have an mmo with several instances. add the character editor, vehicles, an economy and equipment purchases, missions, and who needs sgw?

edit: also when you go through the stargate to a new map, the loading screen can be replaced with the full length wormhole video!

There is a reason for that. SGW has been put on hold indefinitetly due to funding issues among other things.

Don't expect to see SGW anytime soon, if at all. So make the most of SGR!

seconded. It's not a RPG, however gender and race would be welcome.

Do you guys remember Star Wars Battlefront 2? The gameply was similar to the Earth/SGC map with global domination gametype.

The main difference with the sequel was that you could earn points for switchin to special classes (Sith for Empire and Jedi for the rebellion) These classes were not generic classes but actual named characters from the films. Yoda, Darth Vader, obi wan, etc

just a thought. I know that SGR probably won't go that way..... but still worth a mention.
