Four warpaints added in the Summer 2023 update were submitted by their authors with requests to add albedo tinting.

These requests were not honored, and the warpaints were added to the game without albedo tinting.

All original authors have made clear in their comments on these submissions that they intended these to have albedo tint.

All original authors indicated they reached out to Valve to ask them to fix it, but received no response.

Since Valve appears apathetic to fixing it, I'm submitting all the necessary proto_defs code changes as a community fix.

Steam won't let me credit people not on my friend's list, but credit for this submission should go in full to the warpaints' original authors:

Fixing these requires addition of the material_override line for each weapon, used by the Macaw Masked warpaint. I'm essentially adding 44 very-similar lines of code to each warpaint's code block, for a total of 176 lines added. (This submission includes zero changes to material/texture files, ONLY changes to the proto_defs script file).

I've included a fully-compiled proto_defs.vpd file compatible with the current version of the game, a pre-compiled .json file, and four individual .json files containing just the full code block for each warpaint, with the alterations made.

Edit 2024/02/04: Added a second set of files that exclude the Bazaar Bargain from albedo tinting, which could be used instead of the primary set at Valve's discretion, due to Albedo tinting breaking the scope on the Bazaar Bargain (this is visible on Elfin Enamel and Saccharine Striped, and albedo tinting is disabled on the Bazaar Bargain on other albedo-tinted warpaints for this reason.)
