30th November - Dye Hard

I keep having this glitch while playing the unstable branch, the glitch is that my tenant in my ship will go and sleep in a bed, then when they come out of the beds, thye will sometimes be sideways, and they cant get back to normal, how would i fix this?

 

All clothing. About 11 colors for each piece of clothing. You use coal (apparently).

 

Thanks! I was just curious because it was a kinda cool that they would sing
.

 

Will we eventually be able to select which parts of each piece of armor we want to dye? Currently when dyeing clothes like the Outlaw armor set (Tier 3 Novakid), only small, subtle color changes occur on the outfit; the hat's band, the undershirt, and the belt buckle. In the future will we be able dye specific palette sets for individual pieces of armor, similar to SBSE (Starbound Save Editor)?

 

Sweet. Now I can dye my armor to the color of my undies.

 

Good work Devs!

 

It was originally using mud, but then artists complained so now you make brown by mixing red, yellow and blue.

 

Makes sense.

 

Sure, why not. I've added a new undocumented feature whereby dyes can set "dyeDirectives" instead of "dyeColorIndex" to apply custom palette swaps or whatever you want.

The format should look like this for palette swaps:

Code:

"dyeDirectives" : { "ffca8a" : "ffffff", "e0975c" : "ffff00", "a85636" : "000000", "6f2919" : "ffff00" }

...or it can be a directive string starting with '?' like this:

Code:

"dyeDirectives" : "?border=2;AACCFFFF;00000000"

So if you want to mod in a 'dye' to do obnoxious crap like this, you can!

 

- Is "border" the only directive (other than the color mapping)?
- If there's more than one directive, do we just chain them together in the string (like below)?

Code:

"dyeDirectives" : "?border=2;AACCFFFF;00000000;someotherdirective=3;BBCCDDFF;00000000"

 

No, there are a lot of different image processing directives. We should document them somewhere other than this thread, but the current types are: hueshift, saturation, brightness, fade, setcolor, replace, addmask, submask, blendmult, blendscreen, multiply, border, scalenearest, scalebilinear, scalebicubic, scale, crop, flipx, flipy, flipxy. I'll ask Katzeus to create a wiki page for them since it's an important reference for modders and some of these probably aren't even used anywhere.

 

I edited my post just as you replied I think, but I was wondering how would we chain multiple directives together?

 

Directives should be separated with ? while arguments within a directive should be separated with = or ;

 

i did't see any other dyes in the build or dye remover. the red,blue and yellow dye said they can be use to dye armor but i try it and it did't work and i am on the unstable build and i did try spawn the dyes to and they did't show on the crafting window and i did have the ingredients to make them.

 

@metadept, you fool! You've doomed us all!

 

Looking at the Good? Decent? Ok attempt at a Samus Aran cosplay, I'm thinking all we need now is more armor with giant shoulderpads. Think of the possibilities, and more thanks to vanilla dye options!

 

If you're talking about giant shoulderpads then look at the Apex armors.

 

@metadept ~ how do we make black then? o O isn't red+yellow+blue, black? brown should be yellow+red, or orange, +black (or orange+(yellow+red+blue / black flower)), not +blue >.<
... that makes more sense if you read it slowly. > -> i promise lol

i really like the black flowers idea. xD
they could be deep purple flowers, then you need to bake them to make black dye

 

Outpost, as in, the ones which contain the coffee maker? Is that on "Unstable"?

 

Wrong kind of outpost. What TechnoVibe means, I think, are those single houses you can randomly encounter. What you refer to is the Outpost, which is something else entirely and has been in since forever.
