In the future can you make better colors for graal body and stuff like shoes, skin etc...

The brown looks like....red...there is just not enough colors

good luck, I been asking for 6 years now. Best bet is to separate the gani into 6 different 2-color images, attatch them all together, and use the coloreffects commands to do it.

Why won't they do it?

If I recall correctly, stefan's original answer - from way back when Classic was The Only Server - was that it's too much hassle. And some people might prefer the old brown. And if he bends on this, he'd have to allow a bunch of other colors...although Transparent was worth editing in....

It might happen, but given that fewer and fewer servers are even using the classic colorable body system anymore, I wouldn't hold my breath.

*rewritten from scratch to remove angry rants*

Ahem.

I made a sample. I can't finish it without a dev server. I don't have access to Bomymon anymore, thus I have no dev server, thus I would like someone else to finish it.

The script in question is at the end of the enclosed gani file.

In theory, there should be a player attribute which is not in use and can hold data along the lines of "0.01,0.05,0.5,1, 0.5,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1, 0,0,0,1, 1,0,0,0.5".
That should be tokenized or otherwise parsed into 5 sets of R,G,B,Alpha, for Shirt, Skin, Sleeve, Shoe, and Belt respectively. The For loops are already in place to apply it, not that I have any idea what the correct functioncall is these days for applying alpha-affects to gani elements.

As soon as that's done though, you should have a fully-recolorizable idle gani, with the interesting bits in one nice long stripe you can copy and paste to any other gani you like.

Lemme know how it goes.

Yeah, and VIP probably, just no server on which I could test coloreffected ganis.
