Recolor One Hand?

    Hey guys, I'm the kind of nerd who plays on an rp server, and, long story short, one of my characters has a cybernetic hand. Is there a way to recolor this to reflect the change? Thanks in advance for any and all help, even if it's just a "no."

    EDIT: To clarify, I mean with the use of 3rd-party software such as Starcheat. I am aware that this cannot be done in vanilla.

    idk, but you could always dye the glove items, you can just wear one of those if you want to

    Yep, but it would'nt be what they want, since they want only one hand to be colored differently than the other

    And so, as far as I know, it is not possible if you stay vanilla (which I would assume is the case cos you stated before that you're on a rp forum)
    There is most likely a mod for that tho

    It's probably possible by spawning custom items (when playing starbound privately, /admin and then /spawnitem and then /admin again). You could probably spawn a custom version of the torso piece your character wears with the appropriate arm sprite changed to look cybernetic. If all else fails, there's probably a way with drawables.

    Thanks for the responses, but I've had no luck with drawables on a chest piece so far. As of yet, I've only been able to recolor them w/ Starcheat, which is fairly simple.

    Hmmm, could you perhaps use Starcheat to spawn a version of your torso item with a slightly edited bsleeve? I'm not really knowledgeable regarding Starcheat's capabilities, but if you can manage to do that, you'd be done.

    I don't think it will work properly because starbound mirrors the sprites which means when you look to the left and to the right, it looks the same. So wen your character has assynchronous characteristics, then they magically "swap" sides too. So that is a slight irregularity you will have to live with.
