Paint Mod
Davo,
Have you figured out how GA added the 'star fleet red shirt' detail paint to the creature editors?
I'd like to try adding one of the vehicle paint textures to the creature paint pallet.

Re: Paint Mod
thats easy i think. why?
Re: Paint Mod
I really like mods that extend the editors AND create creations that are shareable.
From what I can tell, mods that using the existing spore parts can often be shared and included in adventures (even when those downloading the adventure don't have the mod installed).
It is also easier to use existing assest (such as animations, parts, textures, etc.) and repurpose them in mods than to create them using 3rd party programs and incorporate them into a mod.
For example, the flora editor, cell parts in creature stage, extended cell parts, infinite part size, robopart paint, vehicle parts in the creature editor mods are all easier to create. One doesn't have to learn an animation program, or modelling program, or a graphics editor program to mod.
Since spore already has paint textures for vehicles and textures, it might be possible to use them to mod the creature editor.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CELL PAINT TEXTURES are different than the creature pain textures? and you can use 'paint like' to paint a creature with a cell texture? The results aren't semi-transparent paints, but they are similar to the creature textures. Many of the cell paints include multiple colors and produce the same results as a base paint + coat paint, but are all contained in the 'base' paint layer.
Here is a sporecaste that contains the cell paints:

These are 24 base paint textures that could be incorporated into a paint mod.

Re: Paint Mod
in short, you are saying you want to replace the paint on creature editors to be that of the cell editor?
i think that is the only way to achieve this.

Re: Paint Mod
Not replace, but add (just like C&C and GA added paint options).
And if you can add cell paints, you might be able to add vehicles paints.

Re: Paint Mod
the vehicle paint didnt want to click when i hovered over creature parts, it didnt mind flora parts, but even then it made the plant clear. in some areas. i like this idea.

Re: Paint Mod
I also think this would be a cool mod. Not sure if vehicle pants would work on creatures but cell paints sure. If you could just add a page with the cell paints on the paint mode.
Always trying to make mod ideas simple.
Re: Paint Mod
Only giant robots can use vehicle pants.
