Hey guys! Back with another exciting announcement about a feature that has been sitting on the shelf now for about 2-3 months. When @Erouax first came onto the team this was his only project. Every Jr Developer is either given a large project or a lot of small projects in order to become a full Developer. This was his Jr Developer project with Badlion. He took the existing codebase made by SmellyPenguin for pets and particles, redid it into something that was way neater on the back-end, and added a ton of new cosmetics to the existing system.The project has come a long way, and the past week we have been adding the polish needed to make sure it is up to the Badlion Standard. We are proud to release cosmetics for everyone today! There are a few things to explain including information for people who had already purchased pet/particles so make sure to read it all.
1. Badlion Cosmetics can be earned through the purchases of cases. You can buy cases on our store at http://store.badlion.net/category/666868
2. If you had purchased a pet or a particle in the past you still have it.
3. If you had purchased a pet in the past due to the decrease in value you have been given some free cases. Check table at end of post.
4. If you are a Donator you still have the free Slime Pet, Donator+ has the free Lucky Sheep Pet, Lion has the free Lion pet. You lose this pet if you are no longer a Donator/Donator+/Lion though (30 day)
5. There are no duplicates in our system. On other servers you get different things for unlocking the same cosmetic in a case again. On our server every time you open a case you are guaranteed to get something new. This means in theory if you purchased 100 cases you will own every cosmetic that we currently offer (read more below).
6. We will be adding new cosmetics over the course of time.
There are seven tiers of cases:
Super Common
Common
Uncommon
Rare
Super Rare
Legendary
Special
We have launched with 100 cosmetics (at least I believe i counted them right) for the initial release. At the moment Legendary is not yet available. You can access the cosmetics at any time using the /cosmetics command or using the Ender Chest in your hotbar (Depending on the server).
Some cosmetics can only be used in the pre-game lobbies or the hub. A complete list of what can be used where can be found below:
Arrow Trails (PvP Comptabible & Lobby Compatible)
Gadgets (Lobby Compatible)
Morphs (Lobby Compatible)
Particles (Lobby Compatible)
Pets (Lobby Compatible)
Lobby Compatible = UHC/SG/Hub/Minigames Lobbies
PvP Compatible = Can be used in a UHC/SG/ArenaPvP/Minigames match
We have also tried to make as many cosmetics fancy with unique features as possible. All of the morphs have abilities, the pets do some different things here and there than just follow you around, the gadgets all have cool affects, custom particle shapes besides just the default ones, etc.
Special cosmetics can only be given out manually by the administration. For certain things such as the Owner Trail you need to meet @Archybot or myself IRL. Those of you who have met us IRL through various means including: TwitchCon, PAX South, other misc meetups will be given your special trail over the next few days. Here is the trail:
Table of Free Cases:
Cat-In-The-Hat: 3 free cases
Slime: 3 free cases
Lucky-Sheep: 3 free cases
Nyan-Sheep: 3 free cases
Horse: 3 free cases
Undead Horse: 5 free cases
Skeleton Horse: 7 free cases
Lion: 7 free cases
PLEASE NOTE: The Free cases above ONLY apply to you if you actually purchased the above pet. Buying a rank such as Donator/Donator+/Lion does not grant you the above cases. This is for legacy people who bought pets when they were still available.
Also a side note certain cases (25/50 cases) come with guaranteed rare/super rare cosmetics.
I hope that everyone enjoys the hard work that @Erouax has put into this system as much as we do. The back-end is much nicer than the original system we had half assed with Pets and Particles. There will be more to come in the future. Please report any issues in the mega-thread found here https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/106353
Next on the list is SG 2.0/Clans 2.0 which are getting close to release. We are finishing some back-end reworks to make the addition of new game modes and features to the network a lot faster going forward (hence is why there haven't been too many new features recently).
EDIT: Please note that we will also be adding cosmetics as time goes on so if you buy too many cases they will have a use eventually.
