FireManXTM -> Photo Mode/Creator Mode (6/17/2024 0:45:51)

It's something I thought of while playing with the Green Room...

The concept is simply the ability to freezeframe a moment in the Green Room, edit it, and take a picture... Potentially you could upload a pic as a bg or add in a drawable background, emotes, effects, poses, maybe a customizable avatar that you can mix and match with monster parts or equipment from NPCs/Bosses. Hit the save button and you can download a pic of your avatar doing something cool or just looking cool. Not sure if it's doable... but hey I thought I might be fun...

While a redundant system to compensate for keyboards without Print Screen buttons, you may not want to dabble with loading other assets more than what is already seen on screen. If we are to reference why EpicDuel, AE's PvP game, couldn't even do a non-patch release recently (And that's just skill icons, mind you. You're asking to load non-skill assets, which will definitely be plenty), you're asking for a long loading if not crashes either isolated to your end or affect other players (In other words, make the game go kaboom. And we're wary enough of that every time Verly touches Book 1 content). At which point you'll just have to either wait for background-less images to be uploaded on the Internet (e.g. certain boss pages in the DF Endgame Wiki) or do good old fashioned photoshop magic with either Word or some dedicated application if you're a(n) (aspiring) digital artist.

Meh it's not totally impossible just grossly complicated and highly improbable... but still it's just an Idea...

And there's a reason why the access you're implicitly requesting for is reserved only to staff and volunteers, and in a sandbox environment at that and not in a public domain...

It's a neat idea that we considered for a while!
Regarding freeze frame-ing:
There are some issues with it due to how attack/skill animations and effects work, and all things considered, it's super low on the priority list.
As for uploading images to the game client, that's out of the question unfortunately. We tried to provide a variety of background colors for chromakey-ing, though, so once you take a picture, it should be easier to swap out backgrounds in a photo editor!
