Remove the previous file and replace it with the new one you'll se the difference because the name of the new has a prepend of 3 z char the old 4
new one -> zz_
old one -> zzz_
What does it do ?
Apparently nothing changes, but with this modders can have for all the 380+ materials in multilayer materials 2 new shades a pure black and white.
There are 4 new materials usable from MLSB:
- jute_natural with 80+ colors
- jute_tinted with 700+ colors
- scalemail with 700+ colors
- scalemail_scratches with 700+colors
There are additional files for the Depot to be used with MLSB
Why it's named like that ?
To be sure to not break other mod that already overwrite those files i choose to let it be the latest file to be loaded.

How a modder can use those new colors ??
the color code naming respect the way CDPR used on their own multilayered materials and it is described here :
000000_null
for the BLACK shade
ffffff_null
for the WHITE shade
Those new colors does not respect the Physically Based Rendering way of represent materials and colors, still a lot of cyberpunk player and modders like to use those colors for stylize more their creation and this is a little help
How i uninstall the mod
