Figured it out i was using

Code Select Expand


<costStuffCount>60</costStuffCount>
<stuffCategories>
<li>Woody</li>
</stuffCategories>


In the Def Second i changed it to

Code Select Expand


<costList>
<Steel>5</Steel>
        <WoodLog>20</WoodLog>
</costList>


The tinting stopped

I must have misunderstood the problem you are having.
a few questions
Do you have a texture?
Did you define the workshop?
If so in the workshops def.xml there should be a <graphicData>  </graphicData> section in there should be a <textPath> </textPath> line this is were you define the texture path for the workshop you are defining if you want to reuse an already existing texture say the butcher table you put.

<graphicData>
     <textPath>Things/Building/Production/TableButcher</textPath>
</graphicData>

In my own mod i have ancient shields the medium one is AncientMediumWoodenShield.png i made it Gimp 2.0 awesome program.

in the Def its

Code Select Expand


<graphicData>
<texPath>Things/Item/Equipment/Apparel/Accessory/Shield/Neolithic/AncientMediumWoodenShield</texPath>
<graphicClass>Graphic_Single</graphicClass>
</graphicData>


The path is much longer than it probably should be though.

If you're asking how i made the Texture.  i suck at art
I just googled ancient wooden shield. opened it in gimp.
turned it black and white. using balance and saturation.
i then upped the contrast and shrunk it down to proper size.

I am making an ancient smelter mod also.
so what i did for that was googled reference material and saved them as different layers in gimp. I then did one item at a time in a different layer. for example i made ingot mold, poker, brand, the table in its own layer then did the shadowing by itself.

I hope this helps.

Here is a problem i cant figure out how to stop a textures colors from being changed by the build materials is a way to prevent that in the Defs. i have a shield texture that gets a brown tint added because its made out of wood but it tints the emblem on it as well.

I ran into a problem like that i was not sure about the file structure. i had to compare the mods and and my own structure.

My structure for a shield mod is

Texture/Things/Item/Equipment/Apparel/Accessory/Shield/KiteShield/kiteshield

but the xml reference is.
<texPath>Things/Item/Equipment/Apparel/Accessory/Shield/KiteShield/kiteshield</texPath>

kite shield is the texture and Texture is implied so it does not need listed in the xml.

hope this helps

was just thinking.

If anyone knows what the altitude layer for a weapon when the the pawn has been drafted and is facing south that would help to. Or were i can find an example of the ThingWithComps class with the DrawWornExtras method.

I am working skully's shield mod

I need to get the shield above the pawn but below weapon layer. I just don't know what altitude the weapons are on when the pawn changes directions

as it stands i have it as

Code Select Expand



{
                    if (this.Wearer.Rotation == Rot4.South)
                    {
                        vector.y = Altitudes.AltitudeFor(AltitudeLayer.MoteOverhead);
                        vector.x += 0.2f;
                        vector.z -= 0.2f;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if (this.Wearer.Rotation == Rot4.East)
                        {
                            vector.y = Altitudes.AltitudeFor(AltitudeLayer.Pawn);
                            vector.z -= 0.2f;
                            num = 90f;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            if (this.Wearer.Rotation == Rot4.West)
                            {
                                vector.y = Altitudes.AltitudeFor(AltitudeLayer.MoteOverhead);
                                vector.z -= 0.2f;
                                num = 270f;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }


Right now the shield hides the weapon.

any help is greatly appreciated.
