Color Tinting a Block

[Zolokhan]

 

Many years ago you could do this ... it was simple just had to add RGB into the block file but now it does not seem to work ... 

 

Is there any way to tint a block ? Custom color? 

[Zolokhan]

so this is really impossible? i am sure it used to be possible ...

 

What program do  i need to edit an existing texture?  I have modded for a long time but i have never touched assets ... 

[Zolokhan]

So i looked into making a new texture and it seemed annoyingly complicated ... I could not open Blocktextureatlas .... 

 

I am trying to get a texture for Gore Blocks and am currently using oil shale because it kinda looks organic but I would like it more red.  

 

Is there any guide to going into Blocktextureatlas ?

I think it's this, for the color and hand object

<property name="TintColor" value="#0002FF"/>

 

also in this format

<property name="TintColor" value="0,2,255"/>
<property name="CustomIconTint" value="0,2,255"/>

The icon one being for tinting the icon.

 

 

There was an old bit of code I saw for older alphas on blocks, not sure if its viable still but it was like this

<property name="TintColor" value="#0002FF"/> 
<property name="TintShaderProperties" value="_Color"/>

 

 

Also, Zilox has his material modifer mod to do colorizing and effects. It helps show you how, here:
Zilox - Material Modifier

 

Also sites like this help with various formats for color and complementary colors when you click on them
Color Codes & Charts

Hope you get it working!
