Model Coloring w/ Overlaying

This is an edit of Doc's coloring script that i made to be used with my SFM port of my Halo 3 Spartans

It's basically Doc's coloring script, but edited so that you're able to apply more than one method of coloring to the same model without the other colors being reset back to white

To accomplish this, i did have to remove the 'color lock' script that Doc talked about that's supposed to help prevent possible memory leaks, but i haven't experienced any during my time using it, so just use with caution, i guess



Right click a model's animation set and select 'setup_modelcoloring_overlay' from the Rig menu, this will open a window where you can either pick a color from Team Fortress 2's paint can colors, or pick a custom color to use, and choose from 3 different methods of applying color to the model; $color, $color2, or $colortint_base (which is mostly used by Team Fortress 2 items)



If you also want to make use of this script for your own models, here's how you can set up your materials for primary, secondary, or tertiary coloring

For primary coloring, add this to your VMT file to prevent secondary coloring:

For secondary coloring, add this to your VMT file to prevent primary coloring:

For tertiary coloring, first you must set the default color for $colortint_base, so add this to your VMT:

Then add this to your VMT file to prevent primary and secondary coloring, and covert $color2's color values to be used for $colortint_base:
