Modifying the belt on paperdolls

[Crowley]

While implementing the gargoyle paperdoll I realized the game automatically puts a belt on all paperdolls on a layer above any torso or leg equipment. Now I am wondering, how much can this be altered? The belt in question (black with grey buckle) looks to be shape 10 in Serpent Isle's paperdol.vga file. But what if I want to change the belt graphics under Black Gate? How might I do that? Obviously there is no item I can just point towards a different paperdoll shape. Or, how about making some characters have a different-looking belt than others? I'm thinking here about Scythifuge's Savage Empire mod, where it would be nice to have a modern-looking belt on some characters and a simpler one for others.

This is definitely something to think about. Incidentally, I drew a modern belt inventory sprite some time ago.

It's currently hardcoded in gumps\Paperdoll_gump.cc void Paperdoll_gump::paint_belt .

In that case, I would very much appreciate implementing a way to modify that in a future version.
