SoF Spawn_Struct Hacking

Yeah, I am not quite sure why they have it changing the values at all, but it seems to change them to 99 or 255 in some cases. As far as I can tell, we shouldn't be changing anything and just save the actual value and call the actual value. The conversions it is doing is almost certainly the cause of baldness and why faces have had so many issues in the past.

I know KLS did quite a bit of work on facial features in the past and I am wondering if she has any input on why those values are changed like that before I start making changes so that it uses the actual value instead of all of this converting.

Oh yeah, Drakkin NPCs look much cooler now that they aren't all exactly the same.

Another thing I wanted to mention is that a while back, I got the illusion struct all identified other than the Drakkin specific stuff. It would be nice if we could get facechange and other facial features added into the illusion function since they currently are not. I think the problem is that Titanium doesn't have the illusion struct filled out fully, so no one bothered to finish the function for illusion to add in the other features. It would also be very cool to have armor stuff (texture and tint) in the illusion function. Then, when someone clicks off an illusion, they would actually look exactly like they did before the illusion was cast instead of just returning to the same race and armor texture. I am pretty sure everything is in the illusion struct and we just need to find the armor and Drakkin stuff to completely finalize it. It wouldn't be hard to finalize the struct, but the code to handle all of it might take a bit of work to do. It would be awesome to expand the #fixmob functionality to work with faces, hairstyle, haircolor, eyecolor, beard, beardcolor, armor tint, and the new Drakkin features. Then, you could really fine tune an NPC in realtime before creating it in the database. Otherwise, it means a database change and a repop to see how it looks. Much quicker and easier to just have hotkeys and spam through the different looks until you find one you like.
