jesse we must cook

Good to hear you managed to work things out despite the tool not working properly

If you're having a black screen while using the tool, that actually reminds me, i have a set of mirror entities that are now turning my screen black while they're spawned, so maybe there's some connection there

I did look through the tool's LUA file, but there's so much to it that i don't even know where to begin or what i'd even be looking for

Little update. Strangely enough, I've managed to find a way to use the ACT, broken as it is, to achieve what I need. Thankfully I had a saved dupe of the assassin with the colour I wanted baked into the global variable. So despite having a black screen while using the tool, I was able to blindly copy that colour and apply it to the correct part of the assassin. I somehow thought I couldn't copy things initially, cos previously I was just copying and pasting a purple error colour; looks like I was wrong. :D

Cool, I'll look into it.

It still would be nice to get the Advanced Colour Tool working by someone who has the coding chops. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate having a pretty foundational tool working again (I like to use it in conjunction with SubMaterial).

Thanks for your help. :)

I know too little about LUA to know why it broke and be able to fix it, unfortunately

If they have multiple parts that can be colored, you're probably better off making them able to be colored using the 'PlayerColor' and 'ItemTintColor' material proxies with the '$color2' parameter and the '$color' parameter like my Halo 3 Spartan ragdolls do, and just use the Ragdoll Color, TF2 Paint, and standard Colour tools to color those parts individually
