RE: How Tall? - Skyborn - 07-20-2013
The problem I have with the height slider is not too dissimilar to my problem with their not being a muscle size slider. It's really hard to give your character distinctive size. I'm going with 100, but I don't think it accurately makes my Hyur look 6'4'', and even with his muscle definition maxed out he doesn't look that athletically built.

I'm 4'11" in real life and both my characters (Roeg and Highlander) are going to be maxed on the slider so I can live out my tall dreams. The urge is strong, and I'm not sorry.

I don't remember Antimony's specific height number, but I put her just on the short end of average - but not too far down (somewhere between 25 and 50). I wanted to give her a somewhat humble stature.
RE: How Tall? - Xha'li Moui - 07-21-2013
Question:If I was to whip up a rather basic PHP calculator to turn the height number into an actual height how many people would use it?

One persons enough, need a reason to keep my PHP skills from totally rusting away. I'll work on it tomorrow while I'm off, already planned out the general flow in my head.
RE: How Tall? - growly beast - 07-21-2013
There's a trend I've seen across all games with height sliders - females tend to be minimum height, and males tend to be max height, creating some weird disproportions. Interesting, I guess.
Rocky, I can't decide if I want him average or tall, but Kirzwyda is definitely going to be maxed out.
RE: How Tall? - Desphiria - 07-22-2013
Well, whatever 5'2 is on the slider is how tall W'zilika's gonna be because, she matched my RL height, and that's what I want.
As for Iza, she was set to default settings in game so I guess she's the average size of a normal Lalafell.
RE: How Tall? - Xha'li Moui - 07-22-2013
was bored today so I whipped up a rather basic and ugly calculator for heights. Guys and Lalas work fine, gals aren't being caught properly with flow control. I'll be working on it for a bit still, and worse case I'll have to refactor it to separate the race and gender to see if that makes it start working properly. Anyways heres the link.

Gives a server error when I try it, at least for miqo'te male.

For those interested it my flow control is male and not lala, not lala, lala, backup error message with male and not lala going through the other races.

Yeah, Amazonians are underrated. +1 for the freakin' huge setting!
Let's hear it for tall ladies.
RE: How Tall? - Skyborn - 07-22-2013
Yeah even with that calculator, a 100 on a male Hyur Midlander puts them at roughly 6'1''. Hopefully folks can suspend their disbelief and accept characters that are ICly taller/bigger than the sliders allow for.
RE: How Tall? - Flamel Eldgamel - 07-22-2013
I'm going max on my Lala. 3'2" woo! The irony is still hilarious to me (6'7" IRL).
I hoped maxing the height slider would let me see his gear a teensy bit better lol. We'll see I guess. If not, oh well, he's freaking awesome.Â
Now we just need a muscle slider for Lalafells!
