TITLE**: RGB Character Tint (SP)
AUTHOR**: Ze Thriller
E-MAIL**: thriller.ze@gmail.com
CREDITS**: Thanks to Raven Software & Lucas Arts for this game !! This mod was completely made by myself,based on the original character.menu file.
FILENAME: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz_rgb_character_tint_sp.pk3
PK3 SIZE: 3.547 Bytes
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS**: Extract the pk3 from zip into Local Disk\Lucasarts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base
GAME MODES: Single player only !
DESCRIPTION**: I've already seen some users have made mods like this skins screenshot,but I couldn't find any while browsing through JK3 files. So I decided to create one of my own :)
This very simple mod will modify the character selection screen and allow you to "paint" your character with any color you want.It's made with a tab-like system so you can switch at anytime from the standard mode(predefined tints list) and the RGB mode.
Because,for this version,texts are only in english,I decide to make some help for those who have difficulties in english(labels are colored according to the value they represent).
Very simple use: when selecting your character for a new game,juste move the sliders and see the resulting tint in real-time,both on the skin and on the character icons ! To get back to normal mode,click on "Tint list",and "RGB Mode" to return to the RGB mode.
LIMITATIONS:
- May not work with other character selection mods. The name zzzz... is for JK3 mod loading order,and THEORICALLY prevents conflicts,but be careful.
- May affect strangely extra models: many SP skins are not quite exactly defined as JK3 internal ones,so if you change the character tint to something else than white,the skin is not affected,but the icon is overlayed with this color.For example: if you select black,the icon can't be seen !
KNOWN BUGS:
- The value of the sliders is indicated as float,not integer.It seems to be a restriction from the slider implementation.
MISSING FEATURES:
- You can't directly enter the Red/Green/Blue value by the keyboard.
It's my very first mod, so I begin with something not too dificult for my level.I hope you'll find it useful ;)
Enjoy !
