Taur suggestion

[Ember]

I like taurs, centaurs the best so far. However, one game feature is vexing to play with as a taur of any kind for me: nudity for lower body (below the waist).

I would like to ask the creators to change how nudity is accounted for taurs. I'm seeing that all NPC taurs do not have a problem with wearing nothing on their bottom half, as is natural and normal, in places where nudity is forbidden, like Tavros station. Aina would be the first example that comes to mind. She doesn't cover her lower half, yet she doesn't have any problems on Tavros station the PC has when PC exits the ship while wearing nothing below the waist (I'm assuming upper body is a different story and it is covered for the purposes of nudity). It is said she doesn't cover it and, by extension, implied that she doesn't have problems on the station to force her to do otherwise when being outside of her apartment.

My point is this: taurs should not be counted as being nude by the law (the game parameters for places where nudity is prohibited) while covering their humanoid half, but leaving their bottom, animal half exposed. Anything worth seeing is either covered by the tail, inside a sheath or not big enough (when not aroused) to cause any problems, even more so considering the tone and kind of the game. Also, all of the clothes are made for bipeds and there is no taur specific clothing. Anything a taur wears on his bottom half is refitted in the imagination of the player to fit that taur, same as with any kind of armor.

I don't know much about coding a game, but from what I do know, it is only a matter of changing how some flags work in this case. The sum of it is this: please change the flags for taurs to not be considered nude when not wearing anything on their bestial halves in places where nudity is forbidden. It is simply logical for a taur not to wear anything on the bottom half. Players who want that are free to do so, but the ones who find the idea of a taur wearing boxers strange and silly, I would like this change to be implemented.

Some ingame taur npc's are showed to be wearing sort of specificaly made for taurs clothing/armro that also reach to their bottom half. Still it's not as off as pants put on there ass and posterior legs. More like sort of armor that was used for horses in past. The leithan from Kashima incident have something like that with armro that cover partialy her bottom half too while still not look...absurdaly silly/stupid.

So either make adj to game imply PC armro have such shape when used by taurs or in other way use this for PC.

As for npc like Aina, she only can be meet in her room so till we meet her outside of it somehwere on the station we would knew if such things like wearing clothes only on upper half is acceptable in places with no nudity rule.

I mean no offense, but work on your English. I'm confused about the point you tried to make.

My problem is not with clothing as such. I'm aware of only one taur shown with anything covering her lower, bestial half, and that would be Ushamee Neykkar in the Kashima Incident. Every other taur is wearing something only on upper, humanoid half, or nothing at all, like in the case of male taurs.

Adjectives defining clothing as taur-fitting would be nice, but it is not needed and I did not ask for it.

As for npc like Aina, she only can be meet in her room so till we meet her outside of it somehwere on the station we would knew if such things like wearing clothes only on upper half is acceptable in places with no nudity rule.

Aina lives on Tavros station. It implies she is going around, especially because she is selling her produce to others on the station and over the extranet. No one has any problem with her going around as she is, clothed from her human waist up, with nothing covering her lower half. Meeting her outside her apartment, dressed as she is, goes in favor of that assumption.

The only thing I asked for was to change how nudity works with taurs. I'm asking for a change in the game where the system will not flag taur as nude in a place where nudity is forbidden if said taur doesn't wear armor and/or underwear, but has undertop.

If PC characters can get away with being nude while covering themselves with wings while being in no-nudity areas, I think taurs should be allowed to walk around with bare asses in such locations, if they have something equipped as undertop and/or armor.

If I'm not clear enough, warn me.

I would like one of the creators to at least say if this will or won't be done, is probable to be done or reasons against so my curiosity is sated, thanks.

 

[ZulCoringa]

I don't think this is a far fetched idea and would be a neat feature for taurs.

 

[Noob Salad]

Nah, this is easy to implement. Just a Taur check for isNude and/or maybe its related isExposed functions.

@Jacques00?

I'll try to add a section for unique anatomy in the canCoverSelf() function. While this does the least amount of changes to the game, it will at least give taurs/driders a way to "hide" their bottom anatomy where nudity is illegal. Taurs with hyper-sized anatomy won't be able to hide it.

I'll need a save file with a taur-body character to test with, however.

 

[Ormael]

Oh well OP not understood me...not big deal. Well still I count we would have this option emantioned for not hyper taurs/driders to have covered case of nudity. After all armors normaly cover legs too but when PC have taur/drider body it magicaly loosing it botom part? With not hyper genitalia case it should still count as coverling enough of bottom to not be treating PC as going naked.

Here.

 

[Ember]

Thank you for the effort. Just check that the "wings over body" option in the appearance menu counts as PC covered when not wearing anything else and being a taur. Thanks again!

 

[Jacques00]

Okay, I've made some changes that allow tauric characters to have their lower bodies uncovered but remain legal to walk in places that deem nudity illegal.

As long as the character covers their top (wings/clothes), and has a long or prehensile tail that is furred, fluffy, feathered, thick, amorphous or gooey to cover their private area. While those with regular waist-oriented genital position will count how many privates to cover with each tail to be decent, the tauric characters only need one.

Of course, hyper-sized breasts (with non-flat nipples) will be considered obscene and need to be covered with clothes. Hyper-sized penises will need to be covered in clothes or with a genital slit.

These changes may show up for the next release. Hope this helps.

 

[Ember]

Thank you for the changes. I can finally play a proper taur.

Heh hyper sized cocsk been able hide in genitial slit. Mhhmmm I know: porn logic (since it should be unhidable there or PC waist would be suprisingly widened
