Modding Help New character creation tabs

I am trying to add a new option for apex in which they have underwear like humans, though underwear color is currently tied to their skin color. Instead of making 50+ options of skin color with each individual underwear color option, I have been trying to figure out how to make a new tab for it. So far I am at a loss on what todo.

Here is my patches on what I have tried so far:

Code:

species patch:

[
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/charGenTextLabels",
"value": [ "Fur colour", "Hair style", "Shirt", "Legwear", "Skin colour", "Beard style", "Shirt colour", "Legwear colour", "APEX", "Personality", "Underwear" ]
},
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/altzColor",
"value": [
{ "dc1f00" : "4d76ad", "be1b00" : "395187", "951500" : "20325b" },
{ "dc1f00" : "7c41b8", "be1b00" : "6c2f90", "951500" : "471962" },
{ "dc1f00" : "c63442", "be1b00" : "9b2724", "951500" : "6a1210" },
{ "dc1f00" : "eaa245", "be1b00" : "b47020", "951500" : "834a0c" },
{ "dc1f00" : "e3e13a", "be1b00" : "a8a614", "951500" : "848008" },
{ "dc1f00" : "6ab841", "be1b00" : "45902f", "951500" : "296219" },
{ "dc1f00" : "535353", "be1b00" : "363636", "951500" : "111111" },
{ "dc1f00" : "e6e6e6", "be1b00" : "979797", "951500" : "6f6f6f" },
{ "dc1f00" : "9e9e9e", "be1b00" : "6e6e6e", "951500" : "434343" },
{ "dc1f00" : "f794f8", "be1b00" : "d355c1", "951500" : "b72c95" }
]
}
]


charcreation patch:

[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/paneLayout/labelAltz",
"value":
{
"type" : "label",
"position" : [125, 139],
"hAnchor" : "left"
}
},
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/paneLayout/altz",
"value":
{
"type" : "label",
"position" : [192, 139],
"hAnchor" : "left"
}
}
]

A photoshopped image of what am I aiming for:

 

I am pretty sure it is hard-coded in such a way to prevent you from adding more color types. You could do it if you removed facial hairs and add:

Code:

  "hairColorAsBodySubColor" : true,
  "headOptionAsHairColor" : true,

then you just use the existing "hairColor" field. OR just add it as shirt and pants.

 

Is it possible to attach the underwear color too clothing color's options? Without making undies an actual item.

 

yes i think? this solution might work for that:

I do not think that is what I am looking for.

When i switch shirt color option to change shirt colors, could it be possible to make something on the body also change colors? Only on character creation?

 

to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible

 

Well the I suppose the mass options is best option for now until something better is found.

Though I noticed apex do not have any options for "hair color", however, I am assume it wont be much help because of the extra beard option.

 

Attempted it, get this as a result.

 

Here is my code:

Code:

[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/hairColorAsBodySubColor",
"value": true
},
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/headOptionAsHairColor",
"value": true
},
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/hairColor",
"value": [
// 1
{ "dc1f00" : "4d76ad", "be1b00" : "395187", "951500" : "20325b" },
{ "dc1f00" : "7c41b8", "be1b00" : "6c2f90", "951500" : "471962" },
{ "dc1f00" : "c63442", "be1b00" : "9b2724", "951500" : "6a1210" },
{ "dc1f00" : "eaa245", "be1b00" : "b47020", "951500" : "834a0c" },
{ "dc1f00" : "e3e13a", "be1b00" : "a8a614", "951500" : "848008" },
{ "dc1f00" : "6ab841", "be1b00" : "45902f", "951500" : "296219" },
{ "dc1f00" : "535353", "be1b00" : "363636", "951500" : "111111" },
{ "dc1f00" : "e6e6e6", "be1b00" : "979797", "951500" : "6f6f6f" },
{ "dc1f00" : "9e9e9e", "be1b00" : "6e6e6e", "951500" : "434343" },
{ "dc1f00" : "f794f8", "be1b00" : "d355c1", "951500" : "b72c95" }
]
}
]

Though I reverted back to my previous solution with each skin color having variants, which are each of the underwear colors. So far I think that is possibly the best bet, even though some might get annoyed by it.
