Welcome to The Coenaculi – Tattoo Parlor RaceMenu plugin. This mod has gone through a lot of phases and changes over its course.
The first version was for use with Caliente’s TexBlend mod. This was received well at first, but fell short due to limited choices and customizing.
Second to come was the utilization of Paint. NET which is a free photo editing program. While this opened the door for customizing by picking and choosing which tattoo(s) you wanted, it was an alien program to many. After receiving multiple complaints, one from a very dissatisfied person, I decided to go for broke and learn how to make a RaceMenu plugin.
This was a whole new territory for me because the only scripts/codes I’ve written have been HTML scripts. I had to learn a new code for a new mod and learn how to create what I would need using CK and various other programs. After reading, failed trials, and more reading until I started seeing lines of code every time I closed my eyes, I asked for help; and I got the best kind.
Now with the enormous help from Expired, I give you The Coenaculi – Tattoo Parlor: A RaceMenu plugin. I know it’s kind of the same name, but I like it too much. Now everyone has free reign of customization without having to learn a new program!
