with all the different colors of sweater we have now, is there going to be an NPC that dyes your sweater a different color, or are each color of the sweaters going to be seperate items?

Dyeing would be better for sure
But i don't know if it's already done in coding...

hehe

It is planned to recolor sprites dynamically one day, but it isn't as easy as one might think, because the recoloring has to be implemented differently for openGL and software mode.

it's too dark imho

Yeah. It's hard to see details if the colour's to dark.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay. I am just dropping by to say, I am not dead, just busy due to term projects and finals. I have created a lighter and shaper version of the sweater icon (using only 14 colours excluding alpha's grayscale).

I like the new sweater much more. Great!

How many just making several png file for each colourable items? Instead of using software to recolour, the program can just load different pngs.

We already decided to recolor grayscaled items dynamically. This option give us more flexibility than making many recolored pngs. If u want make for example 256 (or even more: 512, 1024, 2048) color versions of each equipable item, just go ahed, but imo it doesnt make any sense.

Topic on variable colours:
Variable colours

Me like variable colours.

This post is also quite relevant I think: Using substractive mixing of images to create different colours of hair.
