Indexing
 

Hi guys, just wondering if any of you gfx guys know how to index 1 or a couple of parts in a body :) Ive seen a couple of bodies on iEra that only a few parts can change color so i knew its possible! Help would be appreciated and i know how to index bodies normally so i understand the process

Now does this work on Paint.NET because i have been trying to learn the same.

You can't index on Paint.NET

But how does this work if the body has more than one color for each body part?

Do you mean multiple colored pixels on a certain area. Like one arm has 32 different colors while another has 20?

Like if the body arms have like 5 shades each.

It really won't work on those kind of bodies unless you want only certain parts to be color changeable. You are limited to the amount of colors on a body you can make color changeable so this is why it's better to do it on bodies that have very few to no details.

I meant, how do you make the body so the colors can't change?

You mean so that certain areas won't change?

with the exception of 2. do not use any of those indexes in your body image.
color the background in whichever color is in index 2

Yes, but the problem as I stated before was, my body has more than 1 color for each body part.

Then I'm afraid color changing isn't possible. Whatever colors the body is made with, it will stay that way. And changing your skin,coat, etc in game will have no effect.

tyler see your bandaged body, see how the zangetsu doesnt change color! i want to know how to do that like not hnge a certain part of a body :)

Omg. I said, how do I make it so you CANT CHANGE COLORS

I can only change a certain number of colors on a body. I wanted to get the main colors down first. Unfortunately, I ran out of colors to make the zangetsu color changeable. If you wanted it to make it color changeable you'd have to get rid of any shading and discard one of the main colors.

Only 5 can index rep+ on those bodies u made bro

Don't index it.

here for example i wanted to chnge the blue part ONLY for this body what do i do? illremove the shading of blue for sure but whats next?

Then you index the blue part (just not on number 2).

When i do that the whole body turns blue =.=

Thank you, I always love feedback :3

Okay so here's what I'd do and I don't know if this is a guarantee success so try it if you want. Open up the body and just start a new custom index. Then, make the colors like so:

0 : Outline - Use whatever color the outline is.
1 : Belt - Blue Part
2 : Transparency - Background Color
3 : Shoes - Blue Part
4 : Sleeves - Blue Part
5 : Skin - Blue Part
6 : Coat - Blue Part

Then click "Save As" and save it as a new file. When uploaded it should only make that one part color changeable, but you may have to change all the colors in the Graal body color option menu to the same one for it to take effect.
