Do we can retexture VVVVVV?

[Riki the crewmate]

I'm trying to change the textures by going to C:/ and changing images from graphics. I really wanna make my viridian yellow, I tried to do it, But when i was almost done i saved everything launched VVVVVV, The images didn't change, How do we edit textures?

Crewmates are automatically color corrected by the game engine (which is why there's only one set of character sprites).

oh..

WHY TERRY WHY

HERE COME THE RANTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only way would be to hexedit the game and change something in the scripts to changeplayercolour(yellow) (think of a jukebox terminal), if you know what you're doing, and it's very limited because you can only really make it temporary that way and if you increase the game size by even one character it stops working.

Maybe Viridian's color is in there too, but what complicates matters is that the color alternates all the time.

We could just get ShinyWolf to tell us how he made this: http://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?topic=1742.0

I'd like to play more levels with Verdigris

EDIT: *looks to the left of this post* Hmmm... that gives me an idea for a new texture pack...

He made that with internal scripting. Modifying the scripts used in the main game is borderline impossible.

I don't think hexediting the game to change the actual colours would work; there's no one value to modify: it's a big messy function with lots of preset values.

What you COULD do is hexedit those values, if you can somehoe figure out where they are. But I wouldn't know where to start and it's probably not a good idea.

Anyway, here's the function where it happens:

Code Select Expand

void Graphics::setcol( int t, UtilityClass& help )

int temp;

switch(t)

ct.colour = getRGB(196 - (fRandom() * 64), 10, 10);

break;
case 3: //Trinket

}
ct.colour = getRGB(trinketr, trinketg, trinketb);
break;

Oh my. I would love how to get THAT into the game.

You're one to talk, Mr. Thread-Bumping Master. Respect.

But on-topic: that level of ShinyWolf's was amazing, so I'm probably going to learn how to implement player color-changing for my future levels

There was actually a bug with the level (Not a bug, but just something I found out about) If you die
in a room with a checkpoint (There actually were no rooms like that, I pressed R) The script didn't work and I stayed Viridian until I died in another room.

[@Kreator]

Yeah, resetting sounds like a thing that would cause problems with color-changing scripts
