IR-Colorable Robes

[JediMindTrix]

Without much ado, here we go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6yebbyzfb5qq2m7/IR-Colorable%20Robes.7z?dl=0

 

Please report any bugs to me via PM, I'm sure they might eventually be some. This does require IR be installed. It will only remove the colors from the major and minor.

Hi all, just wanted to post a disclaimer that I don't believe this will interact nicely with savegames - likely, a new one will be needed.

What? It's unlikely to affect save games unless you did something really odd. o.O

Yeah if you're just patching fields in the .itm file then I think it would work fine in savegames.

 

Some stuff gets moved into your savegame as you progress, like NPC .cre files and area files. But I believe .itm files do not. So I think you can patch item colors (or other characteristics) mid-game.

It was reported that only some of the robes were colorable while others were not by a user - not sure what else would cause that.

Well, if you patch an item after you have saved a game and then load it, the save uses the old dialog.tlk, and if the item patch also added item description, it won't be in the loaded save game. The old items in the saves also will contain the removed color pallet effect, so they will still recolor the creatures appearance.

Best bet is that like with every other mod, you should restart the game, not load an old save game.

Are we still talking about Infinity Engine, or..?

 

There're only three things written in a save - areas (including any actors), stores and worldmap. Neither items nor tlk.

If something didn't work in a savegame, it won't work in a new game either.

[subtledoctor]

Yeah, the actors in a savegame might have a reference in the .cre file indicating that they possess an item... but the item itself is not in the savegame. Take Varscona to Werewolf Island, run a quick patch function to change its enchantment level to +3, load up your save and you'll be able to hit Karoug with it.

(Also, @JediMindTrix, when Demi suggested you post your mod separately from IR, I think he meant to make your own thread for it over in the "Miscellaneous Released Mods" forum, not something within IR's forum.

I was going off of this, and chose the first option because I was in a hurry. Also, if he had a problem with it, I'm sure he would've said something already. Thanks for pointing that forum out to me though.

 

 

You can make a new topic to with you can attach the needed archive file if you go into the More Reply Options(PS: this was before the forum went offline), the G3 also has the Misc... Rel... -mods for this or you can release it as SHSForums Misc.. Rel... mods by going to there to the file browser and clicking the Upload File and there attaching the file to the correct selection.
And other ways, like contacting the Admins and submitting the mod to a review, but for this mod it is not likely the best option as you are unlikely to need your very own forum for your mod.

[subtledoctor]

No prob! As long as others don't mind, I don't either.

[Demivrgvs]

Subtledoctor is right, I just didn't wanted to make this such a big deal. Btw, Arda and Mike told me they are fine adding an ini option for this as well.
