Actually, the problem people might be having is that I forgot to note some required SQL in the changelog of R527. This SQL is required:
/utils/sql/svn/527_npc_armor_tint.sql
I will update the changelog about that. Been so busy that I completely forgot that I meant to correct that and mention it so people would know about it. It is good practice to look in the /utils/sql/svn/ folder anyway if you are having server issues to be sure something wasn't missed like this.
That armor tint thing is really cool if you haven't tried it out yet btw
Now if I could just figure out a good way to get a command in to be able to change it in game without having to touch the DB.
