Quick question about changing item colors
Is there a fast or easy way to do this? I was hoping maybe in the element viewer but I'm rather afraid to go poking around in there. Also, off subject but I think a questions sub forum would be a great idea.

Define "item". Are you talking about hats? Are you talking about players? Or just all models in general?

Sadly there isn't an easy way to do reskinning. Most people just replace the existing skin, but if you want to have multiple skins you'll have to go into decompiling and everything. I'll be posting a video on how to do this relatively soon.

In my example I was talking specifically about hats, but I would think it would be good to know how to on any model, but yeah I figured it wasn't a simple process. Hope your video comes out soon in that case hahaha.

Here's a tutorial someone made on changing hat colors with VMTs, but like I said above, it's basically just replacing the current texture, meaning only one color per hat. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=31679171#post31679171

Can't the VMT define multiple possible textures for one model? That's how TF2's two teams work, or something similar.

The QC does that, not the VMT. The VMT is what you point the QC file to.
