[SOLVED] Partial recolor for stuffed objects?

[jecrell]

So, I'm creating some lovely candelabras and chandeliers for RimWorld, and I noticed that they are fully recolored by the game when they are set to stuffed -- candles and all.

How can I keep my candles a separate color and still enjoy the different colors from stuffed properties like steel and slate?

you need a mask file, which is a file with the same name that ends with an _m
see here for an example:

the vanilla bed among other things in the A15 art resources will show you this as well. Some people use a black/white mask, I tend to use the red/green mask ala vanilla.

So, documenting the results.

First, I created a Candelabra.png file.

Then, I created a very rudimentary mask Candelabra_m.png file.


I also had to add this line in the XML for the building definition.

Code Select Expand

<ThingDef Name="Blahblahblah">
...
<graphicData>
...
<shaderType>CutoutComplex</shaderType>
</graphicData>
</ThingDef>   
The result?


Thanks so much!

Ah yes forgot the shader, good work!
