Unrelated to the Watcher DLC, but what if you could layer sprites?
For example, if you wanted to make a cool looking hat, but also wanted parts of the hat any color that anyone wants? The only way to do that currently would be to make new variants of that sprite, which causes a quite a few annoying issues...
The solution I thought up for this problem is to add a layers system of some kind, which I think how it could work is, to render the higher layers on top of the base layer (Basically overlay the upper layer onto the lower layer).
Now for the example hat, you'd only need to make two (or however many custom colors you want the hat to have) sprites for it, and there, problem solved, mostly everyone is happy with their hat that they can put on their slugcat, and change the colors of it without any muddy mixed or dark colors.

good luck on fixing the black box!!!!! its kinda silly

it is intentional, yes. right now changing that torso sprite breaks things

Watcher's DMS settings is missing the torso/body sprite option. Is that intentional? Could it be causing that weird flickering box connected to the torso/shoulders of Watcher?

i have the black box too on watcher's torso it basically makes dms unusable on watcher

did you change the torso? (by pasting a skin onto watcher)

whenever i use a dms skin on the watcher uh theres always this black square on the slugcat might just be something on my end but im curious if anyone else is experiencing this

for some reason the button is just not there

that sounds uh.. quite strange.

IVE DONE EVERYTHING THE GET FANCY BUTTON WILL NOT WORK EVERY OTHER MOD WORKS PLZ HELP

campaigns infinitely load when this mod is enabled on legacy for some reason? is there a fix planned or a known cause?

idk why colors bug out due to brightness, seems interesting

WITH COLORS SOMETIMES BEING WHITE i found why and a fix!!! okay so im pretty sure you have to set the color off a bit from the default color of the scug. i like to use the brightness slider thats on the side. and itll fix. trying to describe it as best as i can

weird bug going on. Every time i load up rain world with this mod on, my slugcat becomes invisible and anytime i move out of a shelter my game crashes. hope this gets fixed because i love this mod.

hmm thats really odd

its been happening with my scugs when their default too

usually happens with default parts, idk why they turn white sometimes tho

well now the body of watcher is white and i cant change it back so there goes this mod -_-

it's been removed because it was bugged i think-

hey for some reason the body for the watcher isnt in the dms menu and i mean the body part i cant color it bc it isnt there pls fix this

idk what mod could be causing this (or not) but for some reason default parts will sometimes show up as white instead of chosen color.

nvm rivulet copy n pasting is kinda bugged-

rivulet torso not changing to yellow?

Rain Meadown compatibility will be really cool.

You are not alone XLR08, I have that with DMS too.

Can you maybe add the ability to save sets?

can the author of this merge my compatibility pull request for pupifier?

@DragonScale46 thanks

Has anyone else experienced a bug where the screen bugs out and becomes impossible to see whenever the slugcat is covered with mud/painted by an Indigo Lizard?

rain meddow support when?

can you add support to Rain Meadow?

This mod doesnt have backwards compatibility so you cant use it in v1.9.15

💀

i cant believe i saw people asking if this mod works after watcher dlc

@Leal The removal of the body option is intentional. Changing the body sprite is what causes the box. Reset the Watcher back to default and manually select each body part instead of using the 'entire set' option. This will fix your box issue.

Also the option to select for torso is just missing for the watcher.

I tried modifying the watcher and it appears like a black box.

@pinkus it changes depending on the region??

Can we have the ability to change the color (not sprite) of Watcher's torso separately from the hips?

make it so watcher doesn't have a color set by dms because that breaks their normal color which is supposed to change depending on the region

Thank you for letting me customize my creature. Hope post-watcher fixing is smooth sailing

@SteffanWeaverOfWorlds The body option was removed because changing the body will cube Watcher. You'll have to reset the Watcher sprites and re-apply all of them. Commentators say not to use the "Use Entire Set" option to apply sprites to Watcher.

I noticed something odd- the "body" option for the Watcher is just- gone? Hips is there and everything else- but not Body. so rn they're just- stuck with a square torso :p

it dose i think yeah

does dress my slugcat work with watcher now? or has it always been working when watcher has been released

The problem isn't about cube body, but colors being flat generally. Example: I use Lizardcat set, black headed salamander with colored tendrils, where black is unchangable and only tendring ends; result: my head uses the said color entirely instead of what it supposed to be. This isn't a set problem either because it literally worked the day before yesterday just fine, my friend started having the same issue yesterday with different mod set, as well as someone posting screens here. Clearly something broke again and resubbing doesn't help.

Copying Lucaselmil's comment in here for those still reporting issues
"for those who are wondering how uncube the watcher here is what you have to do:

you have to leave the body as default, don't use the "use entire set" option cuz it will change the body, so just manually change all the body parts except for the body"

Would be nice if the "use entire set" option didn't change the body for Watcher, if possible devs

it works when i resubscribe! (idk if watcher work i have no dms for that tho

yeah, resubbing has not fixed it D:

@WillowWispy I have done this. I am on ver 2.1.3 and am still having the same issue with solid colors. I have included images as proof.
