Have you ever wanted an Elf with purple eyes? Or a Half Orc with that green-tinted skin? How about that Tiefling with hot pink hair? Ever think that the default palettes in the game were just the wrong colors, or even just a few shades off? Now, you can change that. This application will allow you to override the existing color palettes used in the NWN2 Character Creation process. And if that isn't extreme enough for you, this application includes gaoneng's great UI mod, United Colors, with which you will be able to modify up to 256 colors as you see fit.
Usage documentation contained in the archive file.
12/29/06 -- found and fixed a file bug, and uploaded the new rar. I didn't change the version number. If you already downloaded this application, I recommend you do so again to get this fix.
12/30/06 -- Added a color gradient feature to make it easier to select the perfect color. Check the screen shots to see how it looks. Changed the screen to show as 9x2 instead of 6x3 on the 18 color palette dialog.
01/04/07 -- Added a pair of new features and squashed some minor bugs in saving gradient colors.
Feature 1) Added a Random button to the 256 color palette to generate completely random colors.
Feature 2) Added a Full page gradient button, so now you can change the 4 corner colors and click the Full button to generate gradients across all 256 colors.
For a little fun, click the Random button, then the Full button to create random gradients.
v1.1.2
For 256 palette
-- Added Linear gradient feature (mix gradient from top left to bottom right)
-- Added default color button to return 256 color palette to original state
-- Added Save to All Parts feature (all parts of Race file get same user color palette)
-- Added Save to All Palettes feature (all palettes are now identical)
Added palette selection overwrite (allows user to save modified palette when changing between 18 and 256 color palettes)
v1.2
Packaged software in .msi file for easy user installations and future updates. for now, just remove the current installation of this palette editor and then use the installer .msi
Changed the buttons to look more Vista'ish
Added more features to randomly modify the 256 color palette.
TODO:: need to update the documents to reflect new installer and features. need to add a temporary uninstall to make upgrading NWN2 more efficient and easy.
The application uses the race color 2da files to override the available colors during character creation, not existing character colors. I don't see how you would make use of this in a hak to limit players colors, they could just d/l this app and change the colors to what ever they want. Unless I misunderstand how you want to use this in a hak. I haven't tried any PWs so I don't know that if the characters are created on the server can they be limited. _________________________ If you like the United Colors mod, check out this extension for it!

Just curious, but this edits the pallette, not the character? So you can use it in a hakpak to limit what colors can be chosen by the players?

Something that must be in the final product ^_^

I added several new features and modified the buttons to have a more Vista-like appearance. I also packaged everything in an msi installer which should remove any installation issues. Please report any problems you may have here so I can fix them more quickly. _________________________ If you like the United Colors mod, check out this extension for it! Link

A ten not because I'm adding anything like with gaoneng's submission, but a ten because you deserve a ten. _________________________ @===============================================@ Vinchenzo made a post here. Plz check out my entries. I'm currently making a few simple modules, designing 3 special characters, and hope to someday be good this stuff. This is Vinchenzo, finishing his post with the following advice: Don't use Latin improperly (Lupis means grey, Rufus is red, Canid is dog, so on.) Furries annoy me with their improper usage of such. And I'm a furry!!! Ugh... Don't vote for Beta things unless told they are finished, unless posted specifically by the author. Don't abuse the vote and post function, don't vote for your own/friends stuff just to get a high vote. Don't flame vote either just to be an ass. There is a voting system for how the points are used, even I forget, but we should follow it (and tattoo it to our forehead, lol) @===============================================@

@greencherry Since you got it installed and working, how would you have written the instructions so that it is more clear for the next person. I am currently working on an installer that should make it easier on users. Cheers _________________________ If you like the United Colors mod, check out this extension for it! Link

I figured it out. It was simple to use as you said, but your communicating how exactly it works need some work.
