Recoloring a Subset that is not available

[simnuts101]

Have another question!

Hope I make sense when I explain this! :)

I am looking at recoloring the Flickering Mercenary Table, Floor and wall lights. Now I notice in the game that there are different colors (rust and iron), but when you run SimPE, only the lit and unlit subsets are available. Looking further into the file, I do notice that there is a texture image for both the rust and iron colors, and they do have their own Material Definition files, but no subsets. How would you go about recoloring items like this? Would you have to add a new texture image and material definition file for each one? Just wondering if it is possible.

Thanks :bunny:

I can only speak from a cloning an item aspect, but in theory this may work:

Make a temporary clone of the item to find the "mesh name" of the part you want to recolor.

After that, make a recolor package of the other texture, but change the model name listed in the MMAT to the "mesh name" you want to recolor.
