Please read this.

I'm taking another break for a while. My anxiety isn't holding up well and I need to take some time for myself to recover. Frankly, modding can be a thankless job and some of the people one is forced to interact with can be... deeply unpleasant at best, to put it in the kindest way I can and not as I truly want to. For now, I feel like my mods don't need any further work done to them. They're fine as they are. See you later, folks.

I'll be back! I'm not gone for good, I just need to set this aside for now. That's all.

One thing I will say as a final note is that it'd be nice if one could turn off the comments system and only have a bug tracker in the vein of Nexus Mods. That'd be handy for people like myself who do deal with anxiety. And I deal with a lot of anxiety.

See you around, folks. My thanks to those who were kind.

Description

Masquerade is what I would call a 'smart outfitter.' You have all of these costumes, hats, hairstyles, and whatnot but no way to actually combine them into a set wardrobe that you can change at a whim. It can even handle partial outfits and respect what other pieces you might've equipped manually. Here are some cases of that: You've got a bunch of costumes setup in Masquerade but you purposefully didn't use a hat with them, now you can have other sets in Masquerade which change only the hat. In this way you can change the hat and costume separately, even with outfits. You can control polymorphs, personalities, skins, pets, and mounts in precisely the same way as costumes. It's meant to be lightweight and configurable to give you the power to look how you'd want to look with the press of a key or a quick slash command.

It saves you all of that tiresome clicking every time you want to change your look. Similarly, you might want to just be able to manually change your look in a quick, hassle-free way without loading your game down with a massive suite that has lots of features you might never use, whilst lacking some you might want. Along with slowing down older computers in the process. Kitchen sink suites aren't always the best option, sometimes smaller, more modular addons which focus on a very specific task without going out of scope will make your life easier and your play time more fun.

It's just a matter of giving the player choice. Choice is important. That's why similar-ish addons might exist in the same space, like this one and many others. Masquerade is built to have a very tightly reigned-in scope of just providing you with keybinds to change your outfits in an intelligent, hassle-free way.

So if you want to slip into an alleyway and don your stealthy attire and your thief personality without even having to think about it? Either just press a key or type /mq thief and away you go. Just like that. No matter what combination you'd like to use, or how you'd want to use it, Masquerade is designed to put the power of quickly outfitting yourself in your hands without loading your down with anything else.

It can even natively support Idle Animations if you have that addon, just set the right profile first and away you go!

Features

Masquerade saves (per character) the following collectibles into a set:

• Body Marking;
• Costume;
• Facial Accessory;
• Facial Hair;
• Hair/Horns;
• Hat;
• Head Marking;
• Personality;
• Piercings/Jewellery;
• Polymorph;
• Skin;
• (Optionally) Vanity Pet;
• (Optionally) Mount;
• (Optionally) Idle Animations Profile.

Complete vs. Partial Sets

Masquerade can save two kinds of sets.

A complete set is one where all other cosmetic collectibles are unequipped, leaving only the set items you desire to be wearing. It will effectively unequip you of any cosmetic collectible that you didn't define for this kind of set.

A partial set is one where it changes only the elements you've selected for the set. So if you want to have a hat, or a pet and mount separate from your outfits, you can do that.

Slash Commands

Masquerade is controlled with the following slash commands...

• /mq set name - Equips the set named 'set name;'
• /mq psave set name - Stores your current partial set as 'set name;'
• /mq psavepet set name - Does the same as save but stores your pet as well;
• /mq psavemount set name - Does the same as save but stores your mount as well;
• /mq psavepam set name - Does the same as save but stores both your pet and mount as well;
• /mq csave set name - Stores your current complete set as 'set name;'
• /mq csavepet set name - Does the same as save but stores your pet as well;
• /mq csavemount set name - Does the same as save but stores your mount as well;
• /mq csavepam set name - Does the same as save but stores both your pet and mount as well;
• /mq delete set name - Deletes the set named 'set name;'
• /mq bind # set name - Binds the set named 'set name' to slot #;
• /mq list - Lists all of your stored sets;
• /mq listbinds - Lists your binds and which sets they're set to (if any);
• /mq help - Tells you of the commands and what they do.

So, for example, if you had pirate attire on and you wanted to save your piratey gear, you'd type:

/mq csave avast me hearties

And then, if you wanted to don your suave piratey attire, you'd type:

/mq avast me hearties

Now let's say you want to be able to call this set with your first keybind, you'd type:

/mq bind 1 avast me hearties

If you decide at some point later that you don't want to be a pirate any more, you'd type:

/mq delete avast me hearties

Bindings

Under controls, you'll find a set of bindings for Masquerade, these are numbered 1-9. Each of these correlates to a bind you can set through the /mq bind slash command (see above). So let's say that you've bound a set to keybind slot 1, as in the example above? You can now set a key to keybind slot 1 in Masquerade's bindings to equip that set.

I like using the number pad keys, myself, to switch costumes. Which is why I settled on 9 as a good, round number for the amount of sets to provide binds for.

Disclaimer

I'm sharing this though because I genuinely get satisfaction out of the mere possibility of helping others, even when I don't know for sure. I have no interest in being popular, cults of popularity squick me out. As such, considering my disabilities, I'm unlikely to look at the comments very much. So this addon is delivered as-is, with a hearty dose of caveat emptor. Anything that it doesn't already do is 'out of scope.' You have other choices. I just wanted to make an simple, elegant solution for a real problem I was having. And now I'm sharing it in case it helps others.
