About this mod
this mod restore coloring functionality for vanilla armors when it fits (blackened versions of armors with "stealth" bonuses stays black - immersion of vanilla game must be preserved) and should work with other coloring mods without conflicts
- Permissions and credits
- Mirrors
- Changelogs
So in kenshi you can customize your armors with colors, however this functionality is limited and only few armors can be painted
this mod restore armor models with color functionality, that was cut and never really implemented.
Mod let you color:
Cargopants
Halfpants
Chainmails and chain shirts
Hiver shirts and Hiver chain shirts
Leather shirts in all variations except black
Plate jacket and white plate jacket
Martial arts bindings
Ninja Rags
Samurai Armor
TINCAN - helmet that made you look like lego person
Mercenary leather armor
Conscript Leather armor
Unholy chestplate (i know its black in vanilla, but don't have stealth bonuses because its plate armor)
Gi Pants and Gi robes :)
How do i color my armor?
You need to use Vanilla method described here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kenshi/comments/bckxzf/how_to_color_your_uniforms_no_mods_or_editing/
mods who let you color with alternative method should works too, but i wasn't exploring this
Possible issues:
- Some models might looks less great after coloring, but i m still testing all possibilities (good luck getting all the dyes)
- Factions color their own armors if some of them happens to wear one of the mentioned it will be colored and harder to recognize
- Ninja Rags colored into ultra black color looks bad in my opinion
- Martial Arts bindings keep default icon when colored, which made them confusing
- Not every color can be used to paint some of the gear (south hivers who hold exclusivity for royal purple can wear only hive types of shirts)
Author note:
i personally like this simplistic mod, however it will be fair to mention that options offered here was completely one upped by this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/kenshi/mods/760
this thing basically rebuild a lot of coloring schemes for armors and remake icons/functionality to made it all works,
only detail i m not a fan of is forced player's faction color, conflicting faction changes and bugs but to offer anything close to challenge that from where my mod is now... xD
i would rather focus on improving my other projects here and find new idea.
