Sunjammer's Tintinator plugin started life as a simple utility for testing tints during the official NWN2 Toolset Beta program. Initially the plugin was designed merely to set all tints to garish, clashing colours to allow testers to see what could be tinted and to what extent. Later I found "Tintinating" was also useful when I was building and subsequently I have received numerous (three) requests to provide or enhance the plugin's functionality.
As a result of these requests and my own requirements, Sunjammer's Tintinator 2: Full Colour Palette Edition provides builders with the ability to Tintinate objects; to Copy and Paste tints; and to Restore tints to their pre-tintinate/pre-paste values.
Getting Started
If you haven't already done so, you must configure the NWN2 Toolset to allow third-party plugins. To do this:
Open the NWN2 Toolset
Click on the View | Options... menu option to open the Options window
Set the General | Security | AllowPlugins option to Load all plugins
Close the NWN2 Toolset
To install the plugin:
Extract Sunjammer.Tintinator.dll to your [NWN2 Install]\NWN2Toolset\Plugins\ directory
Open the NWN2 Toolset
Click on the View | Options... menu option to open the Options window
Check/set the Plugins | Sunjammer's Tintintator | Keys options as required
Notes
If you are upgrading from v2.0.2 or v2.0.3, in addition to installing the new version, you will need to remove the old version. Simply open the [NWN2 Install]\NWN2Toolset\Plugins\ directory and delete the file called Sunjammer's Tintinator.dll (note the apostrophe and the space). When installed, the new version will be called Sunjammer.Tintinator.dll (note the dot).
Currently the plugin is restricted to Creatures, Placeables, Tiles, Doors and Waypoints.
