Note on Future Developments
---------------------------
Work is ongoing to add glow effects, but this feature is not available yet.
Some items, especially most metallic ones, may not currently have a specific color file and can't be changed right now.
More options will be available in the future based on your requests and feedback.
Prerequisites
-------------
StarfieldCustom.ini at C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\Starfield\ should contain these lines below:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
Getting Started
---------------
1. Make sure the colorselect.bat is in the same directory as your color options for textures.
2. Double-click on the installer batch file to run it.
YOU SHOULD NOT NEED ADMIN RIGHTS TO RUN THIS BATCH FILE.
All file copies only happen within the directory where the mod was extracted.
There is a check to delete the existing texture folder within the directory where the mod was extracted if the script had been run previously.
Installer Options
-----------------
1. The installer will first ask you to select a color theme. Choose the number corresponding to your preferred color.
2. Next, you will be prompted to select the texture detail level. You can choose between 'detail' or 'max'.
- 'detail': Provides darker textures with more intricate details.
- 'max': Offers full color but may lose some item detail.
3. A list of categories (items to highlight) will appear. You can select or unselect categories by typing their corresponding numbers.
To clear your selections, type 'clear'.
4. After you're done selecting, type 'done' to proceed.
5. A final confirmation will be required. Type 'confirm' to start the installation.
