Okay, I need some assistance from the community.
I want additional colors/textures for the paintbrush menu. I'm limited on skills when it comes to coding beyond "10 IF (WHATEVER) THEN GO TO 255" BASIC. The last time I attempted coding was as a kid on a TI-99/4a using BASIC. So working XML is alien to me.
So I have the "painting.xml" file but I'm at a loss as to how to add additional colors to the paintbrush menu.
First, I gather that simply copying an existing code, for example:
<paint id="151" name="txName_Concrete_white">
<property name="TextureId" value="535"/>
<property name="Group" value="txGroupMasonry"/>
<property name="PaintCost" value="2" />
</paint>
and then pasting in line at the bottom of the list, altering the "paint id="xxx" name="txName_Concrete_xxxxx"" will make it the next in line with a name.
Or will it?
Next, paint id="xxx" points to a specific thing named "txName_xxxxxxx", but WHERE is that catalog of id's? And how can i add to it?
Honestly, I'm not sure if I have the information necessary to frame the questions properly. I'm smart enough to know what i don't know, so I'm asking for help, because I'm at the end of ideas.
I would like additional colors, just solid colors, more variety, to paint the surfaces of my base. More complex things like additional interior wall and flooring would be great but I'll start with just solid colors.
How do I do it?
Thanks in advance for helping the noob.
