This week I was able to work further on both the Skinning and Settings UI.

The Settings UI has currently one option which allows the user to choose what type of skin content can be seen. There is the option of “None” which will only display skins you locally created. The option of “Safe" which will only display skins that are deemed safe for all ages and then “Anything Goes” which will display all types of skins including local skins from other people online.

I also managed to get some work done on the actual Skinning UI which currently includes a list of locally owned skins displaying their name, author, date of creation and head sprite. There is also a mode filter which will soon be used to either display locally owned or online skins.

I have yet to add the functionality of this feature or add the buttons and filters that will be used to create, copy, delete, and download skins.
I must also add the actual player that the skin will be displayed on or its corresponding buttons and functionality.

Once this has been complete I begin work on getting skins to be published to a server for download or have them streamed straight to another players client.

Pending tasks are now

• Implement skinning UI and functionality
• Creating inventory system and skin database.
• Steam workshop for player skins.
• Complete network game lobby UI (make pretty and complete all network game modes).
• Complete network game restart UI (make pretty).
• Research different arenas and backgrounds.
• General bug fixing, tidy up and enhancement of look and feel..
