I think I have it all figured out now, thank you. It might be a bit of a chore manually adding 158932685 breeding combinations in the admincp, but being able to create detailed hybrid outcomes is worth it... and anyway, my co-designer should share some of the work. x)
Ooh yes, having "empty" markings with transparent PNGs was exactly what we were thinking of! It's cool to see that someone else has got it working already. So it's not such a crazy idea after all (I have no idea how most breeding games organise their coat layers, it seems to be a well-guarded secret).
And yes, all the different stages' linearts/shading must be stored in the correct folders and layered after the other body parts.
If you don't mind, I'm really curious to see some of your wolves now. :D Dynamic coat combinations are so fun.
