📋 About This Mod
Makes the color of scoutflies darker and reduce their density slightly.
It's an extremely simple mod, if you want to make your own custom colors here how to it:
Open my gi_param.gip with the hex editor of your choice, the free HxD will do just fine. If you're familiar with RGB hex values what to change should be rather obvious, here are the offsets:
0xC0: normal monster scoutflies
0xCC: elder scoutflies
0xD0: tempered scoutflies
0xD4: normal monster tracks
0xD8: elder tracks
0xDC: tempered tracks
If your not familiar with RGB hex values, a google search will give you all the knowledge you need.
INSTALLATION
