[Feature]Skin selector

[striker]

My idea is to replace the old skin selector system with a new one which is much easier to work with. Instead of taking 5 minutes going through the skin selector to pick your favorite skin up, it will be better to have skin categories.

Gangs:
Beach:
Farm: (etc)

What do you guys think?

how about just entering the Skin id? :p easier?

I agree that skin selection needs work, and I also feel we should give this a little bit of priority because it's one of the first things new players run in to.  However, the selection in the screenshot you posted is absolutely horrible from a user experience point of view.  What exactly do "OFOST" and "WMYPLT" mean?  That makes no sense.  I also disagree with making it possible to enter skin Ids, because almost no one will know them (and we do block a few).

I'll mock around a little bit with making some sort of fancy skin selection, as I do have some ideas which could turn out to be really nice.  Would you mind filing a ticket on Trac for this?  http://trac.sa-mp.nl/.

Actually, I filed http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/707 to track this.

Yes that one sucks but couldn't find any better. Here's another pic but I'm sure the one you're going to work on is way better.

@mohit, not a good idea.

Thanks Jay, that's a nice one.

still 15 pages to scroll through but def. better than the actual one!

Ya'll should deal with real problems instead like allowing tanks, hydras and other cool shit on the server.

I've heard that it is very resource intensive, and it's still quite annoying to go through 15 pages. We'd rather use a skin selector which groups related skins together. As Russell already said, he has filed a feature ticket about this issue, http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/707.
