Hmm, I am a spriter not a coder, and I don't believe Neb is interested in working on this further. I think you're right, best bet for now is to direct people to other MM mods instead.

you might direct beeg to one of your various sprite change ones instead

there isn't really a tool ID for that, the game uses a default manipulator when placing blocks, so the blocks themselves are the "tool" all reskins that don't replace the original texture suffer from that, including elithians various racial manipulator skins. i don't know how you'd do it but you'd need to make something that allowed default tile placement to call a variable texture that either uses a parameter set when you use a skin pack, or copies the texture of one of the tools. I don't know if it's even possible and i would assume it's outside the scope of execution for this mod.

Tell me a little more about this tool. Any screenshots or ID page?

I thought I included all the tools ?_?

Is there any way for this mod to replace the block placing function of the Manipulator, which, at least for me, is still the remaining protectorate manipulator? I'd enjoy having a consistently coloured tool, but no biggie if not. Great mod overall. :)

Aha, that'll do it

I just realized why I can't use this mod.
I always tested it on characters who hadn't fully unlocked the manipulator's tools.
Sorry for the inconvenience before.

The template skin would change all the MM for all races, yes.

The Manipulator Skin Pack coding is done by Neb, so I don't know the ins n outs on how it works and how to make it play nice with other mods.

With the Purchasable Manipulator Pack the MMs and tools are custom items separate from the vanilla tools. I've not made a template for the custom tools.

But does it work with MM Configurator?
Because I didn't want something that changes ALL handlers.
Just something to be able to customize the handler of each species individually.
I liked the Purchasable Manipulator Pack.

@Salomon
I have no plans on updating any of my MM mods. I am a little burnt out :P. I have template on how to make your own MM skin if that works for you?

I really liked this mod, but unfortunately this specific one doesn't work when I try to use it (I think it must conflict with other mods I use) so I use the older one you made (Purchasable Manipulator Pack).
So I wanted to know if it would be possible to update it too to add more options.
Maybe add more modules based on the species' ships?

@ashen
Its a bug related to MM Skin mods,just do what the desrciption says:
"Lost your scanner?
In the chat:
/admin [enter]
/giveessentialitem scanmode inspectiontool [enter] to get your scanner back"

And the id for that one seems to be "sksbkbl_manipulatorskin",could be wrong tho

and what are the black and blue manip ID's so i can spawn a scan tool version of it?

why does it turn my scan mode into an inspection mode

I am not sure I even did that

Hey, can I get the item ID for the Master Manipulator Skin?

<3

Nice mod and your talent for creating mods never ceases amaze me

Craft a Manipulator Skin vending machine at the inventor's table for 300 pixels. You can purchase all skins from there.

how exactly do i use this?

I only changed 1 file for the human manipulator

I kinda want the master manipulator skin back.

help how do i use the skin i tried right click and left click on the hotbar but the manipulator did not change

Thx CyanSpartan 117

um I notice a spike in lag when I started using the modded skin for the mm for some reason wasn't sure if this has happened to anyone else I love the mod though just wasn't sure if there's a way I can perhaps fix this

i sort of want a master manipulator skin so i can use the master manipulator mod and have it match my matter manipulator.

Could make it so you get a Certificate of some kind after completing the scanning quest.
That could unlock the recipe for it, then.
idunnojustthrowingideas-

Not sure how I can limit the sale tbh

Also, may I suggest requiring completing the scan quest before you can purchase the vending machine for these skins?

More "_ and Gold" skins, please? There's Red and Gold but no Blue and Gold, etc.

Put an underscore between sks---- and scanmode and it will work!

AnomNom, if you were here previously, you'd understand the predicament.

what

If it doesn't work, comment and I'll give you a different one.

To get this to work, type sks then the letters for the manipulator you want and then type /giveessentialitem sks---- scanmode inspectiontool. It should work.

You are welcome.

Ok, the colors are as follows sksbkaq for black-aqua, sksbkbk for the complete black manipulator, sksbkbl for black-blue, sksbkcy for black-cyan, sksbkor for black-orange, sksbkpk for black-pink, sksbkpl for black-purple, sksbkrd for black-red, sksbkwh for black-white, sksbkyw for black-yellow, sksblaq for blue-aqua, skscybk for cyan-black, sksdflt for the default manipulator, sksgdcy for gold-cyan, sksgdrd for gold-red, sksgnpl for green-purple, sksgnwh for green-white, skshumn for the human one, sksmstr for the master manipulator, skspkbw for pink B/W, skspkcy for the pink-cyan, skspkwh for pink-white, sksplbk for purple-black, sksrainb for the rainbow mm, sksrdbk for red-black, sksrdgd for red-gold, sksrdwh for red-white, skswhbk for white-black, skswhcy for white-cyan, skswhgd for white-gold, skswhgn for white green, skswhor for white-orange, skswhrd for white-red, and finally, sksywwh for a yellow and white manipulator. God that was hard to write.

For my predicament.

the spawn item command is most likely /spawnitem skscybk scanmode inspectiontool

Thanks Skittles.

is there a mod that changes the size of the mine area that works with this mod

You can open it with 7 zip https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Weirdly enough though, my ORIGINAL first character has cyan black scanner and a few of my older characters too, but not any of the new ones can get it. I'll experiment with it a little bit more.

It won't allow me to open the file. I'm sorry.

I can fix the problem if someone tells me the id of one of the mm skin items. not the actual mm skin the item, like for example, the cyan-black scanner.

Ok got it ^^ thx.

I have replied to your message on the CF forums.

I'll try n prod neb to see if he knows why this might be

Also i've notice when we use MM for "place" a block , it's with vanilla color ( the 4 tools are colored so for that it's ok).
