Ty! On the slim jetpack not working for others, does the mod change the cape to CAPE_NULL? I used save editor to get the small jetpack without the cape but I never asked if others saw it with or without the cape.
Yes, but in the code, the cape jetpack was originally in the cape section, and i moved it to the jetpack section, so I'll try to put it back into the cape section to check if this changes something or not (I said I was investigating the issue but I was a bit busy with life so I will really investigate it this weekend)
The jetpack issue is unsolvable, because it's not the appearance modifier that is going nuts but directly the way in which the rendering data is transmitted to other players and I haven't control over that.
Body shapes are encoded with IDs shared among races, so I can't control this either, except maybe for geks. I remembered that there is a setting in the character data that allows to change the player size, but it no longer works since Orbital 4.6... In addition, adding an option for that would have been a horrible tinkering based on additional presets which would have only been used to store sizes.
While digging through the code to find a clean way to change body shapes I found some hidden options that would allow players to do some pretty funny things, so I'm going to play with them and we'll see what happens!
fwiw Getting Head works with this mod without conflicts (which is by design specifically to avoid modifying one of the files this mod changes) and you can use the Short King option in its lua to get the gek body
