would you like to see or find useful?

i've been dead set on cataloguing items since we lack a system for that (and i've been informed it's likely impossible to implement an official "tool" due to how taxing it would be for the servers). so far i've got some threads pinned on the clothing forum, with my item directory planned to be sort of a catch-all solution that i'll update accordingly

i considered gathering old mcm sets and including them in similar threads akin to the current dm thread, but since it'd be a massive undertaking i'd want to first hear if y'all would find that helpful in the slightest lol

It will be a hard one, but I'm pretty sure that people can help a lot

not a gsm user so i had to look that up hnnn

but pretty cool! i would unfortunately not be able to make something that sophisticated without sinking time into learning more advanced coding and such ghdfgjhdsj,,, i guess i could look into it tho if enough ppl show interest

do you mean like the site's layout? i guess waybackmachine could help (i checked that there's some snapshots available) but idk how we'd otherwise get screenshots of the old versions

Oh no no stuff like this should be official. Actually, it can't really be done from outside for a list of reasons, like it's currently impossible to get cloth's color and some other info directly (+ cross-origin requests are tricky to set up on vp (outdated architecture), if anyone tries to make this on their own server)

Also, I thought about it again and, well, we probably don't have that many sets for it to cause any memory issues soo proper item/set gallery with search by name is in my plans (this can change again bc I'm still not sure about that)
