Sort of like a dollmaker/dressup game, minus the game. Admins must define layer images for use that perfeclty align (same image size and position) or the stacking will not work. Users can pick between options and color them in (if intended). Users can merge the final design and download it for currency/item, or this can be disabled and just used as an interactive trait viewer or something. It can get as complex as you make it, but due to image manipulations may sometimes be slow if you do a LOT.
Installation
- pull & deal with merge conflicts
php artisan migratephp artisan optimizex2php artisan update-extension-tracker
Configuration
Nothing should be needed, it's all editable via admin panel.
Usage
Once you ran all the usual commands, you will have a 'character creators' under data in the admin panel. Here, you can make new character creators. There is a lot of layering going on here so I will try explain the basic logic:
- Character Creator: the creator itself, what is it for? Description name and image that show on the index.
- Layer Group: Defines what users can change, eg. body/eyes/horns/wings/tails/bangs/back hair etc
- Layer Option: An option users can pick within a group, eg. small horns, big horns, long horns etc
- Layer: 1-X layers make up an option, this will in the simplest case be one line layer, if they should be colorable it will be a line layer and a base color layer, but it can also have multiple base color layers or detail layers (imagine markings on top)
Layers come in three types: line, color, detail.
- line: the lineart, or your artwork that should not be colorable by the user.
- color: the base color, in perfect white RGB 255,255,255. Can be colored by the user. Can be multiple for one line layer, eg. an eye has a color layer for sclera and one for the iris
- detail: all detail layers will appear as a choice for the user, and should be used for something like different markings. Only one detail layer will be active at a time, and they should be layered on top of the base color layers.
It's probably easiest to play around with it and see how it works!
Troubleshooting
