Character height

[OlmoUnchained]

Am I stupid or there isn't a way to change character's height?

There's no way to change it in the Editor at the moment as it messes up the sex animations, but I'm going to see if I can make it work, so it's on my todo-list.

Oh, ok it's cool, I asked only because I noticed Hogard is taller than everyone. Thanks for the reply you did a very good work here!

Ah yes, if you load someone into the character 2 slot, they are taller than the char 1 slot. It's a quirk from early on that we never changed. I'm actually in the code right now seeing about why height scale doesn't work from the XML files of the saved characters. I thought it still worked if edited in that file, but no go. So I'm seeing how that might be fixed for an upcoming patch.

And thank you! Glad you're enjoying the game so far. :)

That's because slot 2 is the 'male' slot, I guess. Found that out the hard way the first time I choose characters ;P

It was when we first started making the game and testing it, and the only two characters were Elise and Dirk, and then I kind of forgot that I left the height thing in there, lol. I'm changing it for the upcoming patch.

Height tends to break a lot of character animations in many similar games like the ones made by Illusion, my advice is instead of making height sliders, just create different height options and limit which animations that different height matches can do. You can check out a free game called Breeders of the Nephelym to see how they handle different size pairings for animations.

I agree with Coelacanth, like 3 height options will be totally fine for me as long as there is a big difference between tall and short... you know... death by snu snu xD

I'm working on a way to have the animations automatically compensate for variations in height. Can't promise it will work all the way, but I'm trying!
