ImmortalAbsol Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Can I use a combination of free software, like GIMP and BAE, to try my hand at making Automatron paint.ACP's brief replacement with a DIY kit made me wonder if it's something I could get my head around. I would need to know how to make a standalone paint and how to apply it to specific base game and DLC robots.Since I would want to do both Sarge (base game) and Ada (workbench) unique looks. If it's not a smart entry point just telling me that is also helpful.
Gruffydd Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 If you know the image software (I use GIMP for my stuff) and are just doing a straight replacer, yes, that's a great entry point. All you have to do is edit the texture and save over the file (make a backup first so you can revert if you ever decide you want to). Now, making it so you can use your robot workstation to make whatever changes? That's a *lot* more complicated.Just a heads-up... Bethesda textures can be non-intuitive. They like doing things like using just parts of a texture, or mirroring a chunk of one (a real pain if you're wanting to add text or a design).
