Halp!!

Okay, so, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to check a package in SimPE to see if it truly is recolorable? See, I downloaded a cross from Kevinshope and on the "overview" he says specifically to contact him about posting recolors (which does imply that the object is recolorable). However, hen I went and made said recolors, they will not show up in game! Therefore, I need to know how to check to see if said object can take recols, and how to correct it. Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I've been dying to mark the different church seasons with this cross, and I'm at my wit's end here.

Thank y'all in advance,
Joselle

Do you have the CEP?

[Joselle]

yep, that I have, and the most current one too

Hi Joselle - open simpe, go to the GMND (geometric node) and check if there is a line called tsDesign Mode Enabled. If it is not there then it is not recolourable. You can add that option - check adding a subset tutorial by ignorantBliss - go to her profile page to find the tutorial.

thanks y'all--I'll go check for that ^^

ugggg...I have never made an object before(and the tutorial to make the object recolorable assumes I have)...do I need to also extract the mesh before I can import it to make the new subset? I am now quite confused...

You'll do the same to the "extra" mesh, but with the mesh that is already in the package.

extra mesh?

do I need to also extract the mesh before I can import it to make the new subset? I am now quite confused...

I mean, the tutorial is for add a new "recolour option" for a new subset. You have to do the same thing, but for the subset that is already in the package.
