var
mutant_appearance_flags
–

Mutant Appearance Flags - used to modify how the mob is drawn
- For a purely static-icon mutantrace (drawn from a single, non-chunked image), use:
- (NOT_DIMORPHIC | HAS_NO_SKINTONE | HAS_NO_EYES | HAS_NO_HEAD | USES_STATIC_ICON)
- NOT_DIMORPHIC tells the sprite builder not to use any female sprites or vars. If you remove this, make sure there's a chest_f and groin_f in the mutant's DMI!
- HAS_NO_SKINTONE, HAS_NO_EYES, HAS_NO_HEAD each prevent the renderer from trying to colorize the player's body or apply hair / eyes. They tend to be baked in.
- USES_STATIC_IMAGE tells the renderer to skip most of the body-sprite assembly stuff, since our sprite is already fully assembled
- To make a dismemberable mutant, here's an example from lizard:
- (NOT_DIMORPHIC | HAS_HUMAN_EYES | BUILT_FROM_PIECES | HAS_EXTRA_DETAILS | FIX_COLORS | SKINTONE_USES_PREF_COLOR_1 | HAS_SPECIAL_HAIR)
- SKINTONE_USES_PREF_COLOR_1 tells the renderer that the skintone will come from the appearanceholder's first customization color
- HAS_HUMAN_EYES tells the head builder to render their eyes
- HAS_EXTRA_DETAILS tells the sprite builder to apply whatever's defined in their mob_detail_1 vars to their sprite
- FIX_COLORS clamps the RGB values of the customization colors betwen 50 and 190. Keeps them from getting too dark or oversaturated
- HAS_SPECIAL_HAIR tells the hair renderer to display the sprites stored iin the head's special hair, which can be defined here (through the appearanceholder)
- BUILT_FROM_PIECES is important, it tells the renderer to assemble the mutant from a set of separate pieces, like a human
- this allows them to apppear to be missing limbs when dismembered. Check out lizard.dmi for an example of how it should be set up.
- SEE: appearance.dm for more flags and details!
