nvm idk what caused it but turns out i had some remnants of that one fullbright shader mod installed

Update: I think it's a Linux issue? I don't really know what else it could be. I can't even dye the inner part of the visor head item.

To my knowledge, no. I did notice a discrepancy between the colors of the in-game sprite and the actual sprite from the game's files, but neither set of colors worked.

Are there any mods that modify the texture of that item? If so, that can mess it up.

I tried that already, sadly it didn't work.

On the right hand side of the window, the left colours are replaced by the ones on the right. It needs to be exact.

I'm trying to dye the "hot" part of the Cooling EPP. I pulled up the sprite itself to pick the colors from, but I just can't change it. Talking about the orange core that normally doesn't get dyed, btw.

You'd have to insert a directive string, and it'll try and interpret it.

how do i import via "directive" im really dumb

Okay I'll try this way later, thank you!

Well, you gotta find a way to get the hex value for the colour to replace first, then add another slot, put that colour in the left part, and put the new colour in the right one.
I don't really have the knack for making this easier.

Hey! I didnt find how i can color specific parts of armor in game. I've seen a way in one of the discussions, but its way to hard for me, is there other way to color specific parts of armor?

Yeah, maybe one day, wish the character creator would actually display the palettes instead of it being two arrows and a blind list, would give me more motivation to add to it.
As for skin dyes, could be possible, but I wouldn't know, I haven't messed with the source of oSB.

Re: dye-ing skin - Would it be something you can use OSB features to implement? ik there's a lot of mods that use its capabilities to do stuff the base game can't (mostly postload mega-patches, but still).

Nah, it's meant to be free.

Can you add an option that makes getting dye's at least consume an empty bottle?

Nah, but you can export the palettes to use on your character when using a tool for character editing. I would love it if I could just make skin and hair dyes, but the game just doesn't allow for that natively.

can u actually color your characters skin with this tool?

@The_Database The close button is invisible, but clicking where it normally is should still close it. Alternatively, just hit ESC.

How do I close the mod menu? I accidentally opened it and idk how to close it.

The dyes you make are compatible with non-users of the mod and are visible to anyone regardless, you can make dyes for other people and drop them for them to use.

There's a tab for dyeing the matter manipulator on the right column, you must make a dye using the editor then drop that dye into one of the colour slots, experiment, there's a lot you can mess with.

And the palettes are free to use, because copyrighting colours is stupid and nobody should stop you from using a colour.

You can't use the dyes to change your hair and skin colours etc, but if you're an advanced user, you can export the colours to the log and use that to edit your body colours with a character editor.

Can I use some of these palettes in a mod I'm making if I give credit to the creators?

Hey sorry to bother, but how do you dye the Matter Manipulator?

How do you use the dyes to change your skin colors?

question i see you can dye yourself how does one do that?

sorry quick question, but is this client-sided or neutral-sided?

Is there any way to import the directives present on an existing piece of armor into the dye suite? Like, if you wanted to make dyes of the colors an item starts with by default or something?

how might i go about editing the armor light colors on miniknog armor?

Is it possible to dye things like weapons with the mod? I remember being able to dye certain weapons using commands but I didn't know if there was a way to do that with the mod's custom dye colors or not.

@mezefresh if you mean different colors on a single piece and the dyeing on that isn't changing them, you can just get the colors using some sort of color picker, then manually replace those in the palette customizer

btw for anyone wanting to dye the frackin matter manipulators, i recommend using rexmeck's item editor; if you just dye something like your scanning tool, just copy the 'image', 'imageLarge', and 'inventoryIcon' tags from that and replace the image (for me, i used the default matter manipulator sprites for the recolor)

Hey does anyone know how to dye different pieces of clothing/armor. I click a color and it only dyes a specific piece. Thanks! Great mod btw.

As soon as I found out that you can dye normally uncolorable things (like the white part on the Kimono Shirt), I felt like I uncovered some mystery. Whatever shenanigans this mod does is genius. Thank you.

Not completely. There are some things that require the vanilla dyes to make (such as the watering can). Dyes produced by the Suite only count as a bottle of red dye, regardless of which one is spawned.

the mod make dyes redundant them?

It's not worth it, trust me.

@OxOOFFOO It would be possible to show me the code of how its done that status effect exploit you are talking about? Im working on custom matter manipulator for my custom race. Here is my discord user: chofranc

Oh damn, that sucks. It's really a miracle this game works as well as it does

Sadly, the placer gun is hard to change, there are weird status effect exploits you could use, but it ultimately ends up being laggy and messes with the colours of your outfit and character.

That isn't something that can be changed in a reasonable way. Blame CF for a lot of their coding shenanigans.

The MM dyeing feature doesn't seem to affect the version of the MM which is held while trying to place down an item.

💀💀💀💀💀💀 💀

... i dyed

The column on the right, you can use the arrow buttons to change what you're customising, you need to use the suite to make dyes to put into the slots, pick the skin you want then press the corresponding button to dye them.

How do I dye my matter manipulator?

Bro neat mod but lol the name is so long.

please make a standalone (starboundless) version
