Color slider with alpha and multiple color slider for single dress

[Richter Belmont]

I struggled all day long to reach these two goal.

1. Being to add multiple color slider to the same dress.
So if the dress is made of multiple textures, we can individually control the color of each textures.
2. Being able to use HSVA color slider.
It is the same as HSV except with a extra "alpha" slider.

Mission complete...I will try to tell you what I learned.

In the \Scripts\Shared\Person\*.bs files, we have CustomParameter object.
Each of them represent a parameter (slider, dropbox, textfield, etc) in the customizer.

The .ParamType parameter tell this parameter is (a slider, dropbox, etc).
These two should be noted:
.ParamType CustomParamType .HSV; .ParamType CustomParamType .HSVA;
They are color slider.
The difference between the two is that .HSVA have a extra "alpha" slider.
"Object" intended to be used with HSV will work with HSVA and vice versa.

CustomParameter object have also the .DressParamID parameter.
They have a direct link with the  DressCmd/.ParamID of the dcdress*.bs files.
All CustomParameter using a .DressParamID of I32(2) or higher will be hided if the "color" checkbox at the top of the window is not checked.

let take this for example:

Code:

CustomParameter :Parameter_DressHatColor . {[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamName "DressHatColor";[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamDescription "$EN$Color:";[/color]
[color=#000000].CategoryID :Cat_Dress;[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamType CustomParamType .HSV;[/color]
[color=#000000].OutfitPart True;[/color]
[color=#000000].DressZoneID I32(5);[/color]
[color=#000000].DressParamID I32(2);[/color]
[color=#000000].IconID I32(9999);[/color]
[color=#000000].LookAtID :LookAtHat;[/color]
[color=#000000].DressUndress True;[/color]
[color=#000000].BoxScrollPopupDim :DressPopupDim;[/color]
[color=#000000]};

The .DressZoneID I32(5); and .DressParamID I32(2); mean that this parameter will affect DressCmd having a .ParamID I32(2); of dress using a .PrimaryZone I32(5);
Note. :DZ_Head = I32(5);
As you can already figure it out, by having multiple CustomParameter using the same .DressZoneID with different .DressParamID and having multiple DressCmd using different .ParamID, we reached goal 1.

There is one parameter of CustomParameter that cause multiple color(and HSVA) slider to not work: .OutfitPart True;
.The alpha slider will not work correctly.
.All .DressParamID higher of 3 will move at the same time. (so if you move I32(3), I32(4), I32(5)... will also move.)
Short story, make sure your CustomParameter do not have it.

Note, the outfit tab will only save color using a .DressParamID I32(2) and will not save the alpha = will have to use a another tab for multiple color slider and/or alpha use

So now goal two.
Here a example of DressCmd for HSV usage.

Code:

DressCmd . {[/color]
[color=#000000].Target :P + "ClothHat03:hat03b";[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamID I32(2);[/color]
[color=#000000].Attr @ TransformLayer .ColorAddHSV;[/color]
[color=#000000].Value @ ( I32(0) , I32(0) , I32(0) );[/color]
[color=#000000]};

You should already understand the .ParamID
The .Target is the scene "link" + the Object.Name of a Texture2D node withing it.

For HSVA, extra script have to be made.
1.In your Ac*.bs file, you need to create a AppReplaceImage of each textures you want to be HSVA compativble.
The AppReplaceImage will simply use the Object.Name of a Texture2D as parameter.
example:

Code:

AppReplaceImage . {[/color]
[color=#000000].TextureName "R9Hat007_alt";[/color]
[color=#000000]};

2. The DressCmd must be slighty modifiate:
._TransformLayer must be added at the end of your target
.Two DressCmd must be use: one using .ColorAddHSV and the other .ColorMulRGBA.
HSVA:

Code:

DressCmd . {[/color]
[color=#000000].Target :P + "R9Hat007:R9Hat007_alt_TransformLayer";[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamID I32(2);[/color]
[color=#000000].Attr @ TransformLayer .ColorAddHSV;[/color]
[color=#000000].Value @ ( I32(0), I32(0) , I32(0) );[/color]
[color=#000000]};[/color]
[color=#000000]DressCmd . {[/color]
[color=#000000].Target :P + "R9Hat007:R9Hat007_alt_TransformLayer";[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamID I32(2);[/color]
[color=#000000].Attr @ TransformLayer .ColorMulRGBA;[/color]
[color=#000000].Value @ ( I32(1), I32(1) , I32(1) , I32(1) );[/color]
[color=#000000]};

here the HSV version of it:

Code:

DressCmd . {[/color]
[color=#000000].Target :P + "R9Hat007:R9Hat007_alt";[/color]
[color=#000000].ParamID I32(2);[/color]
[color=#000000].Attr @ TransformLayer .ColorAddHSV;[/color]
[color=#000000].Value @ ( I32(0), I32(0) , I32(0) );[/color]
[color=#000000]};
