NPC Armor Tint

NPC Armor tint, working perfectly in SoF and Titanium both.

Happy unbirthday, Trev. :P

Required SQL:

Code:

ALTER TABLE `peq`.`npc_types` ADD COLUMN `armortint_red` TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER `drakkin_details`,
ADD COLUMN `armortint_green` TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER `armortint_red`,
ADD COLUMN `armortint_blue` TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER `armortint_green`;

If red, green, and blue are all zero (the default), regular tint for any worn armor pieces (if any) is applied to the NPC.

If any of the values is nonzero, the tint is applied to all armor pieces on the NPC.

If you absolutely want to give your NPC totally black armor (making it basically impossible to see any detail), just give a blue value of 1 (out of 255). That'll be visually indistinguishable from total black.

Of course, I'm pretty certain tinting is only available on playable-race NPCs.

I was quite pleased to find that even "naked" NPCs have the tint applied to the cloth armor pieces!

Nice work! Thanks!

Oh my god... That is so amazing to see. You and Trevius have really been knocking out some work in this area lately, but you especially have come out of nowhere with some amazing contributions! Great job!

(Excuse my exuberance, my alcohol tolerance is pretty low and it's a Friday night!)

ChaosSlayerZ · #4 05-15-2009, 11:56 PM

A+ for the prety colors

-seriosly - can we TRY to Tint the non player models?

Shendare · #5 05-16-2009, 12:06 AM

My presumption is that the tint will be visible on any NPC that can visibly wear a piece of armor added to its loot table.

Most likely this limits the feature to playable-race NPCs, but it's certainly possible SOE coded exceptions.

WOW! Seriously, Shendare, where did you come from? I know you are registered from a long time ago, but you really know your way around the emu code

That is some great stuff! Maybe tonight, I can get some work done on the illusion function to add in support for all facial features as well as armor tint. Once that is working, I should be able to get the #fixmob command changed to work for adjusting nearly any feature we could want on-the-fly. After that, the only other thing I would really like to get added at some point would be quest commands that could use the illusion function fully. I always thought it would be cool to have an NPC that had color changing armor that changed color once a second on a timer. You could simply have it add 10 to whatever color field every second and it would cycle through colors. Though, I think illusion makes the NPC kinda jump, so it might not be as cool as I imagine.

Thanks a ton for this Shendare! I will get it tested and put it on the SVN ASAP.
