Monos King Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 The decorative tape on the belt seems to default at black and white and is not currently changeable. Even more disruptive, the cloth always flutters in rather than out, causing some geometry overlaps. Might have been reported before, if so consider this an update.

Aberrant Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) If you rotate the character around you'll notice that the inside of the Corsair Decoration is being colored to match the belt, but the outside isn't. The outside colors can technically be changed: by using the Costume Colors Link button to copy the current colors across the whole costume. It just means you need to do that first to set the color you want on the outside of the tape, then recolor everything else. Obviously not an ideal solution, but a way around it. To my knowledge, the other items that work in this way are the lower inside of the Cybertech Long Jacket, Wedding Tux Jacket and Tech Knight Belt w/ Cloth, and on women only the Gunslinger 3 Belt. It would be wonderful if these items could work in the same way that Capes, Boleros and Trenchcoats do, by replacing the Skin Color selector with an Interior Color menu. Based on how these items do it, it might require separating them into a different parent category which would not be ideal.

The Circle of Thorns 3 shoulders (1 is two gradient-colored shoulder points, 2 is three shoulder points with colored edging, and 3 is Circle of Thorns 2 with a stiff collar and a pointed half-cape; the inside of the half-cape can only be colored with the "match all colors" trick. 1

It's the usual "I have a character whose costume does this" flash of recognition. I wasn't aware of the others, because I hadn't used them yet. But it's always a good bet that if you found a slip in one place, it's in other places, too.
Monos King Posted November 9, 2020 Author Posted November 9, 2020 Was thinking the same thing about interior/exterior color options. The information on the work around is definitely appreciated though, I'll be sure to let other people with the issue know.

Aberrant Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Was just thinking, another good way to solve this is to save the costume, then open the .costume file in a an editor and change the colors there manually. They'd be Colors 3 and 4 for whichever costume piece it is. Then load the costume back up in game. 1 Check out the Unofficial Homecoming Wiki! Contributions welcome!
