Helmet/roll cage color

[wark]

The ability to adjust the color of helmets and roll cages (without using skins, of course) just as you can with car exteriors.

Twas possible in S1. Wonder why it was removed? :scratchch

Because they made the helmet "skinable", it wasn't before

I like the idea, maybe if it causes technical difficulties including some low res coloured textures and a simple swatch selection system would allow people to use coloured helmets whilst saving bandwidth/ video memory/hard disk space.

Isn't the HE_Plain the texture selection (I don't know, never had S1)?

S1 helmets were skinnable.

HE_B_STRIPE
HE_PLAIN
HE_TDUK
HE_W_STRIPE

Those are the ones you got "out the box" so to speak.

Oh, yeah. I can't believe I forgot about that. (It's been a while!)

Well now, cars are skinnable anyway, and you can still change their colors. I just happen to be anti-skin--for fidelity reasons (I can't abide anything lower than 2048²), and I don't like white! Actually, I usually use black in an effort to hide the crappy "plain" skins with their fake shadowry.
