It was just very hit or miss if the package/swatch color/item name would work properly. It took me probably 4 hours of testing to get the hairs I had already created to convert over to recolors. I can tell you right now though that hair recolors are a pain in the butt. I think it just has to do with a combination of naming the item, the code the item gets in the game, and whether the color swatches are loading properly, and possibly other factors I can’t nail down. Sometimes I try things and they won’t work, so I keep trying and suddenly they do, but I really have no idea why. I have a feeling we only have some of the puzzle pieces right now, and that is making things difficult.
I may wait until the tool is updated after the full game is released to figure this out and post a tutorial. What’s really odd is that not all of them seem to work (of the provided colors), requiring you to have to remake the package over and over again until you happen to select just the right one that does load properly. I was trying to work on switching out the swatch for some hair colors this weekend. Thank you for the info, that is actually really helpful!
Hopefully this information is handy for you. It’s all bits and pieces of information, but I don’t see were to fit it in yet. You only need to mess with adding a swatch image for clothing/items that don’t start with one……” If the clothing/item you are starting with in ColourMagic already has an image swatch (more than just a colour) then don’t add/remove one in ColourMagic, that’s how you end up with two in s4pe. Make sure the replacement image is in the right format a 32×32 DDS. and then MyreMylar wrote : “……or fixing the swatch image in s4pe I’ve had success with using ‘replace…’ in the right click menu rather than the load image or load dds options. Then make a new custom swatch (32×32 px, saved as DXT1) and replace the IMG resource in S4PE…. Try this: in the current version of Color Magic, make sure to remove the bitmap swatch, and then re-add it. Srikandi715 on wrote (actually on a other matter)
