droscoe2 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Update for my notes* 3 neutrals - Black, grey, white1 oiled dye - oiled coat that brings out a good luster on armor (essentially a sharpening/enhancing option)16 colors - red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple (6) (not bright/neon, darker, more realistic) and their 6 less-saturated counterparts Possibly include Armor Plating - Gold, Silver, Copper, that may, or may not add attributes to the armor itself Dyes collect/created by ingredients, and NPC at shop will sell some as well. Possibly have 'Artisan Dyes'. Specialty dyes that are 'brighter' for those who want them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasS Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I love this idea. and will be downloading it the day it is uploaded. I really look forward to this and greatly appreciate the work your putting in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droscoe2 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Ingredients Update***------------------------------Terms, names, definitions are subject to change. But this should give direction I'm thinking of going. I asked you guys, and people responded. You guys want dye crafted from ingredients! For cloth or soft (non-metal) armor - salt is required for Direct Dye process (substantive)Metal Armors - cannot be dyed, but rather 'painted'. Requires powdered particles to act as dye reservoirs, or pigment, that adheres to metal armor. (such as bone meal or vampire dust) Also requires Dwarven Oil or Spriggan Sap as binders, or both. (wip)Artisan Dyes - Requires more exotic ingredients. Fire salts, ectoplasm, etc. and Powder Mammoth Tusk to bring out more saturated colors Ingredient lists so far - (some ingredients may or may not be required, depending on armor type (metal or non-metal)Red SaltSnowberryRed Mountain FlowerBleeding Crown BlueSaltBlue Butterfly WingBlue Mountain FlowerBlue Dartwing YellowSaltButterfly WingMora TapinellaDragon's Tongue More to come!

AtlasS Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So is that, any of those things will do for the dye or do you need all 4 red things for red dye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinRider Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I would start small... don't worry about crafting dyes just yet. I would make sure you get the scripts working properly and then you can work on combining dyes and crafting dyes. That's just me though. It does sound cool, but I can see a little speedbump with trying to dye enchanted armour :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envyme Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've thought of doing this as well. It's unlikely that I will end up doing it as i think it's going to require more artistic work then actual scripting. I'd recommend just doing three primary colours, and have the player able to mix between the three of them to create the other colours. Possible shortfalls to overcome: - Can you dye enchanted/unique pieces of armour? - Will the dyed armour be a duplicate of the original armour? (IE For each piece of armour, have 5 variations of each colour) - Crafting the dye - you can pick bugs and butterflys out of the sky - perhaps use them to craft dyes I'd be interested in scripting it all together if someone was to actually create the dyed armour. I have photoshop and minimal experience texturing, so it would probably just look like a transparent overlay if I do it. Otherwise, I may have my hands full with another project I'm planning. i would definitely be able to do the retextures if someone was trying to do this. i cant do the scripting but i could make the textures fairly easily.

mrnatas Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Wow really thought out ... This would work really well with something like the "Tailor Maid" mod from fallout but made for Skyrim and some NPC also sportin' all the colours from the rainbow I would download it.

BeakieHelmet Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 See, the new textures for the basic armor look nice, certainly, and I love the idea of this mod, but the colors are too vibrant and saturated for Skyrim I think. Not everything is grey, but everything in the game is a bit muted, and while the sharper contrast does look better it just feels to me like it clashes with the overall look of the game.
