I think i have looked everywhere, but has anyone created dye bottles for clothe and armor? I know NwN1 has this but I hope to find something for nwn2.

I'm not sure this is possible in NWN2. I could be wrong, but there are some graphical differences between how models are handled in NWN2 as apposed to NWN.

Im 99% sure it is not possible with NWN2... whats annoying is they left all the Spell.2da entries for it along with other things (Its amazing whats been left in that should have been cleaned out before they released).

Well it's certainly possible to do something with this function:

// Creates a new copy of an item, while making a single change to the appearance of the item.
// Helmet models and simple items ignore iIndex.
// iType iIndex iNewValue
// ITEM_APPR_TYPE_SIMPLE_MODEL [Ignored] Model #
// ITEM_APPR_TYPE_WEAPON_COLOR ITEM_APPR_WEAPON_COLOR_* 1-4
// ITEM_APPR_TYPE_WEAPON_MODEL ITEM_APPR_WEAPON_MODEL_* Model #
// ITEM_APPR_TYPE_ARMOR_MODEL ITEM_APPR_ARMOR_MODEL_* Model #
// ITEM_APPR_TYPE_ARMOR_COLOR ITEM_APPR_ARMOR_COLOR_* 0-63
object CopyItemAndModify(object oItem, int nType, int nIndex, int nNewValue, int bCopyVars=FALSE);

You would have to destroy the old item after making a copy of it with a new color.

There is something called Charlies Item Appearance Changer on the vault (or something like that).

This presupposes that the pieces of the models in question are tintable as a model in the first place. Unfortunately, not all models are equal. Some are tintable in three palette channels, others in two, some only one and others are not tintable at all without making a copy item, exporting it, and then changing it to a tintable model and then reinserting it back into the game as it's own unique model (so you don't override the original,) which is generally beyond the scope of the average player, and a tad out of reach for most builders as well.

This is probably one of my biggest gripes for NWN2 in terms of what we have for assets. If all models were given the same respect and were tintable in all three palette ranges, we could do armor 'dyeing and tinting' as well as clothes, weapons, items, etc. Not only that, though, making custom clothing and armor combos would have been a damnsight easier, too, for creating our own stories and adventures with the toolset.

This is one of those things that I know was done the way it was due to time constraints. For that, though, instead of Atari, I lay this at the feet of Obsidian. I think it was a poor design decision that critically impaired the creative potential of the game, considering the situation and knowing that we were going to have a harder time creating animations, new models and such.

Sorry for the slight rant. It's one of the sore spots I have with NWN2, much as I love it, there are some warts and this is one of them that sits right on the nose.

I used this thing once. Worked great. Link.

I know this but I don't think it does color change. However that would not be too hard to do. There are already several PW that offer a dressing room with color change.

The bottle idea is interesting if you want to limit the available colors. I'll look into it when I have some time.

Ok I've looked and the function CopyItemAndModify doesn't change color. There are constants for this in patch1.23 but the function SetItemTint is missing

However it's still possible to do that with Charpenter (and NWNX probably). I just need to think a little about the best way to do it.

Edit: I see it already exists for NWNX4: http://nwvault.ign.c...r.Detail&id=127
