Universal Dye Kit

A dye kit that allows custom tinting to be applied to most armor and weapons. Use in conjunction with my Online Tint Creator to customize your armor and weapon colors or color coordinate your entire party. Recent News =============== 12-JUL-2010: Released v1. 3 - minor bugfix to remove unrecognized material error for Awakening mage robes. Also relesed tintpak v3; added Sentinel, Hirol, Blackblade, and Golem Shell armors, and the helm Duty. 08-JUL-2010: Updated the online tint creator to allow linking to tint settings. See this thread for links to the settings used by all 16 dyes that come default with the UDK.

Instructions on Use =============== The Universal Dye Kit item will be added to Bodahn\'s inventory and the King\'s Camp (day) Quartermaster\'s inventory (Origins), Yuriah\'s inventory (Awakening), and Lem\'s inventory (Leliana\'s Song). This is an unlimited use item. Using the kit will start a dialog-based menu system to dye the user\'s equipped items. This item is \"used\" like a potion, so it cannot be used by your party members while you are in camp (but they can use it when \"out in the world\"). Any dye operations will affect all equipped items, so unequip any items you do not wish to have dyed. The kit lets you apply one of eight basic color dyes (great for robes and clothing) or one of eight custom dyes (great for armor and weapons). Eight custom dyes are included with the mod, but you can easily replace these with custom dyes you create using the Online Tint Creator. The tint creator settings for all 16 of the default dyes can be found in this discussion thread. I hope others will also add links to their own tint settings in this discussion (along with screenshots) so you can find something you like. You cannot tint items that have runes installed, so the kit also comes with a portable enchanting interface to easily remove and add runes to your equipment. Installation =============== Released as a standard .dazip file. Use daupdater.exe, DAModder, DAO-Modmanager, or your .dazip tool of choice to install this mod. NOTE: the very fist time you go to the party camp during the story and see the Archdemon cut-scene, Bodahn will not have the Universal Dye Kit. You must travel somewhere else, e.g. back to Lothering, and then return to the \"normal\" (non-cutscene) camp. If for any reason the item does not show up on the merchants, you can run a console script command to have the Universal Dye Kit placed directly in your inventory: \"runscript nez_dye give kit\". This option of course requires that you have enabled the Developer Console. Tintpak =============== There are some items which cannot be dyed because BioWare did not create tint maps for them. The optional file nez_tintpak adds custom tint maps for the following items in order to enable dye support: - Ancient Elven Armor (chest, boots, gloves) - Templar and Knight Commander\'s armor (helm, chest) - Massive Dwarv
