Add custom metadata to character

Original Discord Post by focuskontrol | 2024-11-14 16:02:05

It would be nice to be able to have some custom metadata for a character so I could save and load the characters appearances parameters from the same place.
Basically it would be functionally similar as the ReadyPlayerMe implementation, but this would enable to use a custom system.
Just the ability to save and load in a JSON format using the char_id would be good enough.

so in unreal you have this function to get character data. It could have one more output called “metadata” which could be a JSON string. For example {“Anatomy” = “Troll Male”, “HairStyle” = “Mohawk” etc}. So isntead of having to make some other online database solution to store the metadata, I could just use the same one. And developers choose themselves whether and how to use it.
