Colorable Mantles for Capes (Already In-Game)

[El D]

Not sure how many people know about this, but every mantle for each type of cape can be recolored - not just the High Collar ones.

 

 

Since mantles exist as separate pieces to the cape itself, they're able to have their own color options - it's just that with the costume creator set up as it is, players aren't given the option of independently choosing one for it.

 

However, managing to recolor the mantle is pretty simple - select the High Collar cape option, choose the different colors you'd like to use for the respective sections (Collar will apply to Mantle, and Cape will apply to Cape), then change the type of cape to the actual cape you'd like to have on your character. So long as you don't modify the primary exterior cape color afterword, it'll stay that way. Changing the secondary exterior or either interior cape colors is fine, but picking a different primary exterior color will overwrite the mantle being its own color.

 

It's a relatively small creative aspect, but I've found it useful for some characters and it'd be neat to allow players to just access it straight out and select separate colors normally. Plus, possible step in the direction of making mantle color choices actually line up with the cape patterns themselves?

Yes to more options for coloring capes--especially ones that line up with existing cape textures and styles!

When you said mantles, I got excited and was hoping you were talking about the mantles like Hero 1 and Statesman has.
