Howdy Folks!

Is there a way to add a new body type to paper dolls? If not, can we add this to the "additional tools" wish list? With so much progress happening, I thought I'd ask the question. Perhaps even beg.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Not with SI paperdolls. You can only have adult male or female. Mostly because another bodytype would mean you'd need new paperdoll shapes for this new type.

All of the armor is designed for the two genders. You could possibly create a new frame for the un-clothed shape, say make Andrio look thinner, and that may work. I'll have to try.

This is how Petra and the Automatons work, as well as Crowley's gargoyle art.

Making a Sherry compatible SI paperdoll for the U6 mod might be a trifle tricky, given all the art involved. In the original U6 it always amused me to keep her in my party and boost her strength at the Shrine of Valor for level-up until she was wearing a full set of magic armor and using lightning wands. I got the XP for that by enchanting a staff from Nicodemus with death spells and hunting silver serpents with Sherry in solo mode.

Sherry did not have a doll in U6, right? So showing her as a human female would be in line with canon.

Marzo had suggested in an earlier thread that the item slots could be filled by shapes that cannot be seen.

I think to add a new paperdoll body you'd need to keep in line with the existing general forms. To add a humanoid with fur, you'd have to use that as a starting point and draw on the fur. Then normal armour would cover up much of that fur.

Sherry just used the standard default paperdoll in U6. I just thought it was funny in the game to visualise this suit of magic armor with a helmet stuck on top and wands sticking out of the bottom with a mouse somewhere underneath the whole pile making like Atlas and carrying it all. She's actually quite effective if you get her strength up to armor carrying. Not resurrectable though as she doesn't leave a body when killed.
What made her useful beyond the rune quest was that she could also go through closed portculli for scouting in dungeons.
