The Mana World Forums

Selim the dyer, hairstles, barbers, etc. generally cause text clutter in code. It could be much much much much more concise.

We have in no particular order:

• TMWA needs an edit to adopt manaplus Client-data color dye system
• TMWA needs Own color method and someone makes a PR to Manaplus+
• TMWA scripts the item color via formula & auto-generated data.

Please keep topics on discussion of Item (sprites; hairstyles, mobs, equipments) Dyes (no tileset dye discussion here please, thats a different thread)

Attack plan:

• Add the `color` field to the internal stuff and send it in the packets.
• Add a temporary GM command that switches some item's dye temporarily.
• Add palettes to items.xml
• Pray.
• Curse.
• Make sure the `color` field is saved/loaded in all savefiles correctly (IIRC previously it was not for all subfields, but I'm not sure which).
• Refactor all the code that needs item keys.
• Make all items stack; if any scripts are still broken by now-full inventory on delete of previous stackable, screw them, it will just drop on the ground.
• Migrate the item IDs (how?). Should I also autostack or let that wait?

If option A fails (see step 5), then we'll have to do option C, which is basically "option A internally but current status quo externally".
