Real Time Weapon skin change in Firing range - Concept idea - Quality of life
Hello all
( Im not sure if this is the ideal place for this post if it isn't im sorry )
With all the skins in the game sometimes we pick a skin that we think that we like but we get that weapon with that skin in a middle of a fight the "love" that we had for the skin can become a nightmare for some reason. It can be because the skin in hands ( First person model ) can be too bulky or we don´t like the sight , or what ever the reason is. We all know that checking the skin on the Loadout menu is one thing but checking the in the First person model is a complete different thing and realizing that in a middle of a fight it kinda sucks.
So my idea is reuse the feature "change to my skin" from the game and use it in the firing range
here is the concept
I don't know how that feature is called , i just call it "the change to my skin" :P
Not all of us have all the skins but there are players with all the skins and some players have a lot of skins and for not overflow the Firing Range servers with all those information and not creating a extremely big list that you have to scroll done my idea was to load JUST the favorite skins
example:
As you can see above I have 3 skins as favorite on the R-99, so the server should just load those 3 skins and when on the Firing Range when I clicked to change the skins should look something like this:
And with this we could quickly swap weapon skins and check them out in the First Person Model, even if the server had "wait for command" to load the skins for the weapon that we want and wait a couple seconds instead of loading all the favorite skins for all the weapons ( it would make the loading of the firing range a bit longer) it would be WAY better then leaving the firing range, go to loadout , pick the weapon , pick the skin , go back to menu, loading firing range ( again ) , go and pick the weapon , check skins , picking another weapon and realizing that weapon had a skins that you wanted to check but the favorite roulette picked the skin that you don't wanna check.
And if you go to the Firing range with some friends you can swap skins without making your friends and you leave the Firing Range, do everything that I said above and queueing again to the Firing range
This feature could be extended to the characters skins but should be a Firing Range ONLY feature and shouldn't pass to the Battle Royal / Arenas or any other game mode or future modes
I don't know if it is doable or is you like the idea to it
update idea:
I have been thinking about this for a couple of days about this and to help to don't overflow the server with info from the skins and people trying to crash the server by loading alot of skins
the favorite skins should only be load by pressing this
And it should only load the skins for weapon that the player has in hand and after selecting it should have a "clear" command
why the clear command ?
so the server to just for a small amount of time has extra data on it and people can't overflow the server by loading all favorite skins for all the weapon
if every skins has , for example, 20mb of information and you put 3 favorite skins on each weapon the amount of information would be massive
there are 28 weapons if 1 skins size is 20mb ( for example ) would be 28 x 20 = 560 mb
if you had 3 favorite skin to every weapon it would be 560 x 3 = 1680 mb
this is only one player if you go with a friends and both did the same it would be 3 times that ( 5040 mb ) but we are not in a server alone there are more people so it would be even more data so to dont ruing the game there should be a "clear" command after we selected a skin for the weapon. Yes the would be a bit of a loading time by loading and "clear" the skins but would save the servers and game experience
