Colorable Scouter

no worries i dont bark at new people  

So here is the thing. go to texture and model mods . there is a thread form a guy named shinji . his expertise is scouter mods. take a look. they are pretty cool

Accessory items are different as they dont use .dyt.emb files they only use a combined .emb file which has the texture and colouring in one file.  

The accessory files dont seem to read the files the same way normal files do.  I had made my tail accessory somewhat colourable but it had strange side effects like randomly changing the skin colour to the same colour as the tail... So to make a scouter colourable I think its best to grab the model and combine it into one which uses the standard colourable setup so a hairstyle or even forehead etc then you will be able to easily make it colourable.  

10/10 Rendered black, cac is bald, eventually froze the game. GG.

Yeah accessories are kind of weird.  I've had times where the accessory changes color depending on how I rotate the character at the equipment screen.  It flickers from skin color, to black, to white.  I dont work with accessories that often to figure out why it does that either.  All I know is it's freaking annoying as shit.  >.<

Oh yeah, I meant to comment more on this earlier, but I started backing doing my cel shading mod and working on Trunks.  I can't wait to get to Cell.  He is waaay too shiny in the game.  >.<

Yeah try to go with the hands.  Hands or boots will probably be best since most of them only use 1-2 colors, freeing up the rest for the coloring of the scouter.  One thing however is with the scouter, it hides your ear in the game.  I know, becaue I replaced I believe my SSJ4 eyes over the scouter slot when I first did them.  I had a huge gap in my head because my ear was still missing.  Moving the scouter to another slot wont cause that, but it could possbly cause clipping as your ear might show through part of it.  Namely the top of the scouter because of how smooth it is and how it angles more towards the skull.  

P.S. The battle suit gloves all share the same slot, 513 (Vegeta, On Entry), so if you add a scouter to those it will appear on all gloves using that same model:  Vegeta On Entry/Frieza Saga/Training Suit, Krillin Battle Suit, Gohan Battle Suit, Ginyu Force White and even Vegito's.  The only one that doesn't share the same model is Great Saiyaman, since that one has Gohan's watch over the glove, so it uses different files.





I use the scouter accessory on my Saiyan male and female.  I dont know why, as a Saiyan I feel rather naked without it for some reason.  I even took the time to recolor it a deep red like Turles' scouter.  


P.S.  I also use it on my Ginyu Force wanna-be blue with white hair human, cause it fits him.  >.>

When you did the .dyt file, did you save it as a DXT5 ARBG 8bpp | Interpolated Alpha? Saving it as anything else, especially DXT1 No Alpha, will cause the eye glass to lose transparency.

Also you did the coloring over the bust, and not the hands. Did you mean for that? I thought you were going to do it over the hands? O.o
