Modding Help Some modding stuff I need help with

Do you have any example I am intriguedl

 

Yes! Example please!

 

Um... vanilla dyes and vanilla armors?

 

But I tried dying it and it didn't work...

 

does your armor have color options?

 

wait is the armor you are trying to color a part of a vanilla armor?

 

Yes

No

 

Do they match the color code of the color you are trying to replace through dyeing?

 

That's the thing, I don't know how to do that.

 

each dye has a color index, go in your unpacked files, find the dye files, and you'll know which dye has which color index, also the color index starts at 1 not 0 because.... LUA? and the index is relative to the position of the color option in the color options array

 

Somehow those files turned into an internet link... So is there any other way to get to them?

 

first how the f**k does that happen and second, simply unpack the game assets again if you can't access them, you should always use your unpacked files as a reference when modding, 50-90% of the answers most people ask about how to do things can be answers by simply looking through them.

 

Well... I think I was trying to open it back when I didn't understand files... and, well this happened...

I have no idea how to fix it. I can't find anything that will tell me how...
lol

 

"Open As" does not work for pak files. You need to unpack it following the instructions of this forums tutorial.

 

i'm just going to ignore the fact that you seem to have no idea what unpacked files are and just tell you to unzip the file that comes with this message, put thins in your win32/win36 folder and run the bat file by double clicking it, once you are done go explore the folder called file in your assets folder.

 

Well I know how to do it now. This is really embaracing lol

 

I don't see how that can help me with the dye problem...

 

exploration and learning, that how i learnt everything, and that's pretty much the best way to fix a lot of problems

 

i'm just going to leave this here

 

But I can't find the dye files.
