How do I color?
« on: July 06, 2016, 06:12:10 pm »
I thought I solved this problem for myself, but I'm out of ideas. I have custom body parts and I cannot make them show details such as color in the creature description.

The body parts work perfectly other than that. Does the current system not allow for this? Do they have to be designated somewhere as something that can have details associated with them?

Thanks for your time and help in advance.

You can define colours for tissues on individual body parts. I think a good Vanilla example of this would be dog/cat fur colours for the individual legs, the tail, and a few other parts.

Could you share the raws? It would make troubleshooting a bit easier.

Here's an example :

Code: [Select]
[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:FOOT_FRONT:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:RFTOE1:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:RFTOE2:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:RFTOE3:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:RFTOE4:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:LFTOE1:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:LFTOE2:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:LFTOE3:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:LFTOE4:HAIR]
  [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:BLACK:BLACK:1:BROWN:1:WHITE:1:GRAY:1:LIGHT_BROWN:1]

SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:FOOT_FRONT selects the front feet.
PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_TOKEN:RFTOE1 added one toe to the mix.
It selects the HAIR tissue, you can use SKIN instead and the game will adapt the description.

And then you use TL_COLOR_MODIFIER to add your color set.

Another example : for the eyes, you select with [SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:EYE:EYE].
