How do you change the color of equiped items? How they look outside of your inventory.

Like a poisoned weapon is green, cold is blue, fire is red... ect.

Also what colors can be used?

I want to make some of my uniques different colors so that they look cool and different on the characters.

Never mind... I think I figured it out.

Just go to transform and put a 1 and then go to transformcolor and put the coresponding number for the color...

for the numbers look in the color tutorial.

to bad the color doesn't totally overload the item though, at least not with the item I was testing...

Anyways that's all.

OK, am I missing something?

I cannot find a TransformColor column in armor.txt or weapons.txt...only the Transform column.

I'd like to figure out how to do this...I have druid armor that should be showing up as green but no matter what I do it doesn't work.

oops. I forgot to mentio, it's in UniqueItems.txt

I am making uniques...

I am not sure how to do this outside of that. I think Sets have a similiar column as well. But I don't know about normal items.

Oh, OK...sorry...I knew how to do it in uniqueitems.txt already.

Oh, well...

you did pose a good question though. It would be nice if you could just tell it to change colors for normal items... We should ask blizzard to add that some day. That would greatly help modders, as they could simply change the color of existing items to make them look different.

good idea, don't know if its feasable...

Funny thing is that it should be possible. The armor I mentioned has automagic tags so that the armor always has certain inherent powers.

And automagic has transform-oriented columns.

But for some reason, the info I put in those columns doesn't "take." The color never shows up...I'm wondering if those columns are inactive or if I am doing something wrong.

Have you tried both the color value and the color name values?

let me explain that a little better.

By color value I mean the # associated with that color. There is a list here on the site. Also there was another code with each of the colors. It was either a3 or 4 letter color code.

Have you tried both of them in that column. Maybe Blizzard tried to make it easier to do, and allowed you to use the text keys instead of numerics. Especially since numerics is much harder to remember than a key code.

I hope this works, becuase it is a very good idea.

I thought I had tried both the four-letter code and the numeric...but perhaps I only think I did. I'll try to explore this some more in the coming days.
