Changing Dyes
« on: June 18, 2011, 03:18:40 am »


               I know that on the old forums there was a topic that covered this but since they are not up, I am reasking...

I am trying to find a way to do the dyes such as pure white and pure black as well as some other colors.  I know there is a way to do this through the toolset or scripting.

Does anyone know the answer to this?  Please be easy I am fairly BAD at scripting!

               There's a scriptset on the vault that allows you to use every color, if you like:

               Not quite what I was looking for.  Basically, I want to add a few colors to the pots of colors that are already available in the standard set.  I have seen dye kits done up this way where they work for just that one color.  The ones needed the worst are pure black and pure white. 

I really don't want the custom colors to be available to everyone on the module.  They would be reserved for the different factions and leaders to use to identify them to others as such.

Thanks for the reply though and I might try and figure that set out if all else fails.

               Just  take one of the original dye pots and Edit a copy of it.  

Give it a new resref and name. 

The color of the dye is controled by the last two digits of the tag.   

There is a color chart in the 1.69 lexicon.  

One draw back here is that only the last two digits control the color for the dye pot.   only color 0-99 will be selectable without modifing the spell script useing this method. 

The spell script used by all the Default pots is.  x2_s2_dyearmor

               Guess I was wrong.  The wiki states that the last 3 characters of the tag are used for the dye color(since patch 1.67).  this will allow you the full range.

               WOW!  Thanks a lot.  I have been searching the lexicon for the chart and couldn't find it!  This helps even more!

Works great!  For the colors I needed I only had to edit the last 2 digits of each item.  I hope this helps others later on!
