Hello Everyone!!

I've been hard at work on a big project (involves writing a system that can turn existing Subeta pages into legacy pages...) and part of that involves the code that touched what was lovingly called "wardrobe v4". Instead, we're rebranding it as ⭐ the wardrobe ⭐! very creative!

What's New?

Speed! Built on an incredibly fast and smart backend, you'll notice much faster fetching of things like your avatar, item listings, etc. We went from a request like this that returns hundreds of items to be filtered on the front end to this very snappy request which is almost entirely chaced.

Limbs

Ever wanted to just ... lose an arm? Now you can! Just go to the base tab and start removing!

New Systems This wardrobe is approached like every piece is part of the same system (duh!), and builds toward a much larger Subeta effort than just the wardrobe.

An example is this filtering, which is now easy to add to any page that lists a number of things (items, users, feed, etc!)

So making it so that you can filter on pages like the hair salon now takes minutes to build, instead of days (and making things more complicated)

Organizing items in the wardrobe!

You can now remove your items directly from the wardrobe, and we can plug it into the same filtering system. I'm planning to add more filters here, and obviously get the drawers dropdown to work, but this is a good first step!

Work to do There is tons. Some obvious things:

• Make it so that each section is contained in a space that can be scrolled, so you don't have to keep going down the page. I'd prefer for content that needs to be scrolled to be paginated, so I'm working on that!
• The views on the individual saved outfit and hair salon pages. These need some major work, and hair salon styles need to get their highlights back

Feedback I'm looking for:

• 🙏 Things that you like! I know there will be a lot of critical feedback but sometimes it's nice to see the things that you like or that you feel are improved. It makes it easier for us to make more things like that!
• 💡 Any ideas that you have for improving the features in the wardrobe. I know there are a lot of topics where we've already asked for this, but a lot of change is already here so seeing some fresh thinking would be great!
• 🎨 Design feedback: Things like scrolling, visuals, text, etc!
• 🐛 Bugs! Things that are broken or not working how you expect. Please be as specific as possible, and attach what browser you're using.

Thank you for trying it out, and I'll be updating it with your feedback!

Known Issues

• Removing an item takes multiple clicks, or clicking in the exact right spot
• Mobile layout is not good
• Items page contains non-wearables (tree items)
• Sometimes removing items makes them to go to the top
• Some limbs have broken images
• Limbs have small gap of overlap that is weird

Can you take a screenshot of the item names so I can be sure what you're talking about?

And thank you for the other feedback! I tossed the monospace font up there to test out the general feeling, right now we're doing a lot of internal testing on what we want Subeta to "feel" like in general, since there hasn't been a ton of work done on that in the past (it's changed year by year, essentially)

Everything on the page is built from the same components (buttons, headers, etc), I just toggled a few to alternate styles to see which people move toward the most

Updates

• Reduced the number of items per page (that was a bug, oops)
• Filters coming soon: -- items page: amount per page, order by name, order newest/oldest (desc/asc) -- organize page: amount per page, order by name

Yes! Colors are back (and built in) but it's going reallllllyyy slow in the background to color code all of the items on the site. I'm going to give that a look later today to try and speed up

(Going to get to all of your other feedback and bugs too!)

Save Outfit

I'm noticing a few people mention this, the "save outfit" button has been moved to the outfits page. You have to go there to save a new saved outfit.

There are a few reasons for this, but the usage on that button is too low to be present on every page, mostly!

Items that aren't wearables... Yup! This comes from weird bugs over the years where sometimes you could accidentally quick stock into your wardrobe, or somehow other magic items to your wardrobe but they'd never show up in the wardrobe because they weren't wearable.

I made them show up now so that you can manage them on the organize page, and remove them if you want! The tree decorations are stored in the same system, so I need to just.. filter them out.

Legacy outfits

A few things:

1. The limit listed on the page is not enforced right now. It's 250 for regular accounts, 500 for GAs.
2. When the limit is enforced all of your existing saved avatars will be marked "legacy". This means they won't be counted against your limit at all, and you can add 250/500 more. However, if you delete a legacy outfit and save a new outfit, it will count against your limit.

Alright, some updates going out:

• Scrolling on all of the pages. And not weird different sizes on each one! Some big mobile friendly updates coming soon as well
• Updated padding on the filters on the items/hair page to be further apart
• Added default styles to the hair salon
• Changed visual style on the items that you're wearing
• Border now appears if you own an item, but only if you're browsing all items on Subeta

It says on the page that none of your current outfits are effected, and there is a delete button on the page!

The reason that it's loading slow is because the existing wardrobe is slow, and locks up our API server. So during events like Masq that are wardrobe heavy, lots of users run to make their avatars and the wardrobe looks up all the items they own, etc. This is incredibly expensive, and makes the whole site run slow.

So, one of the reasons for the move is to move toward a cleaner API and queries that don't lock up the rest of the site.

Going through and collecting a lot of the feedback.

Some things coming soon:

• Sort by name back
• Mobile friendly pages
• Investigation into missing items

However, for those of you having problems saving your avatars to saved outfits, the button should be showing up on the outfits page for everyone to create outfits.

I have a fix for the broken images ready; just trying to figure out a technical issue with deploying it right now.

Update: The fix for this is now live!

Things I'm taking a look at today:

• Not being able to hide/show items (unfortunately this is a side effect from making it so that you can drag the entire section, will likely have to disable that)
• LOTS of sharing improvements (Giving a sharing URL and forum code on the page, showing the items... and making the share page actually useful)
• Hair salon improvements, including adding in highlights and fixing bug with multiple salon hairs going on the avatar

Circling back:

• Today we are working on the salon, getting it working again, and adding in the options for highlights

Are the errors with items loading, etc, still happening? I need to come up with a better process for these types of feedback sessions than the forums, because it's very hard to tell if something was a momentary blip or fixed already (since items are loading for me just fine) or if they're still broken for users :(

Salon should be loading now <3

The hair styles themselves are showing up, which was the biggest problem. Still working on the highlights (and thanks for pointing out the shadows, I hadn't noticed they weren't working)

For people whose chest and head layers are not loading, could you please let us know all of the other options you have selected? (For instance, do you have it set to show items you own or all items, CWs, specific drawers, etc - please let us know what you have for every option!)

[edit] Feel free to screenshot the filter options if that's easier for you!

Hello there! I asked about the wardrobe issues and was given this update from Keith: "We’re trying out the methods that we outlined in the other post, and that we’ll post about progress soon"

The methods he is talking about are on the thread below. Expect a more detailed explanation soon!!

Item Loading & Limits Discussion

That is part of the main glitch. I find that if I go through a couple of pages of an easy loading layer, then go back to head, it loads for a page or two. Annoying yes, but it is a workaround that I have found for the meantime.

I know they are working their way through that thread. I am sure that Keith will see your post.

I'm locking this thread so that we can get a handle on specific bugs and issues. Reading through 33 pages is impossible.
