VOC: Variable Controlled Clothing
I've always hated writing a game in which there's a big range of armours and clothes to choose from, yet your character always wears the same, and never looks any different.
In RMVX there's a way to change your character set, but without going through every possible combination of clothing and recolouring the sprites, it's not possible to easily create a new look when you change armours. So, I had a go. What I've made is an event which changes your hair colour (and eventually style), armour colour (and again type, eventually), shirt colour and padded collar thingy. The items of clothing are controlled by 4 variables, which eventually could lead to a chartacter customization screen or armoury that a character change clothes at or something. It's very simple, change the variable, and the item changes. I've only so far made the clothes for ralph, and they're just re-colours, but due to the nature of the event, I see no reason I couldn't just replace the hair with a helmet, etc.
What I wanted to know is; Is this an efficient way of doing it? Has it already been done? Can you spot any bugs that I haven't?

BTW: I've got a free webspace package for anyone who wants it. You get:

You can use the space for whatever you want, as long as you keep it sensible (common sense dictates this).
Just PM me if you're interested.
