Female reaver sprite

Thier head is gold. Hair and skin color appear to do nothing. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? What does base color do, anything?

Also a while back I though someone said that you could chage the color of the basic weapon sprites(knife, smg, rifle, heavy, etc) that the models carry by amping up the 'team' color of the specific weapon sprite they were carrying to values above or below 255. I know you can change charecter models by changing these values (very white, like +300 V looks like shining metal on robots), but can you chage the color of what they carry somewhere?

Yes, it changes the areas like weapons that you're wanting to color. However, you have to slide the sliders manually until you get to the level you want.

One of the things that sucks about the Base Color is that there are no predefined colors for you, but rather you have to enter the values yourself.

Cheers,

Max would know about this than I, since he's actually designed Reaver missions. I've experimented w/them a bit, but was concerned with issues other than their color.

Reaver females are, indeed, stuck with golden heads -- sort of.

One can change the Base color, of which will affect her head. That's it. Reaver Females only use sprite layers 1 and 4 (base and team), while 2 and 3 (skin and hair) are unused.

So, there you go.
