Rings on different fingers?
« on: September 13, 2010, 05:07:18 pm »

Have you ever noticed that whenever your character equips a ring, it would describe it as "ring, thumb, right hand" , no matter how many rings you were wearing? What I'm saying is that you could be wearing 10 rings all on your thumb at once. Is it possible to wear rings on other fingers other than your thumb, right hand? If not, than would it be possible for me to mod this in? And if so, could you give me a few pointers on where to start? Just a small feature that I think would give the game more character depth lol. Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, P.S: Same thing goes with earrings... they always appear on the right ear. It would be cool to see different positions of the earring (conch, lobe, helix, etc...) as well as the other ear. Thanks again :D

Are you suggesting we implement pimp canes?

If youve ever played Saints Row 2, you know better then to underestimate the almighty pimp cane.

I would guess this is a hardcoded thing where it picks the first appropriate body part it comes across. I doubt you could do anything to change it without needing to create a "left thumb ring", "left first finger ring", "right first finger ring", "left earlobe earring", etc. I'm not even sure if that itself is possible.

Why does my adventurer keep crying?
Greiger's is actually correct...  sadly enough.  The emotional circumstance processor is still turned on, with a randomly rolled up personality, but they can't express themselves or take control...  they can only cry.

Ah, alright, thanks.

And yes, pimp canes (especially in Saints Row 2) can be quite fashionable as well as deadly  8)
no.. that doesn't necessarily mean I want them in the game lol

A fat, cut rock on every knuckle should count for something, though.

to answer your first question you CAN wear it on a different hand or finger but it requires a very painful dwarven way, CUT OFF YOUR THUMB.

This makes me think you could cut off all but the last finger to be selected for ring wearing, then put it on. Then use a bodypart regenerating trick (such as altering the raws), and cut off all but the last two. Put another ring on, repeat.

You could have a ring on every finger!

Of course, I don't even know if it is possible to intentionally sever specific body parts.

*Pinch*
Sadly you can't wrestle yourself... maybe putting in some sort of tag might only allow on per digit, sorta like breastplates but on fingers?
