Kinda nasty a sabot round could do

As you can see, I have a problem. I need to figure out 2 more customization options for the Schymnil, but I'm not sure WHAT to do.
You see, the Schymnil are shadow people. Their "skin" and "hair" are pitch black, no changing that. The eye color is the only thing that could be changeable, unless maybe I add more features to their sprite? I might be able to add in different eye shapes (1x2 is default, could add 2x1, 1x1, 2x2, etc.) but that may mess with the emotes? I have no idea what to add. Everything on them would be pitch black anyway, so I'm stuck for colors. Horns? Tail? Ears? All of these would also be pitch black and therefore blend in too much to be noticable. ARGH! I wonder if I could somehow tie in a particle effect to them and change the color/shape of that? Like a dark cloud surrounding them or something... Probably not.

UNRELATED NOTE: http://playstarbound.com/30th-november-dye-hard/
FINALLY! Still doesn't allow for coloring specific parts, probably :/

yeah it doesn't allow for specific parts, but that's just because doing that would be a lot of hassle to do. the simple dye system already in is much easier.
and in terms of what to do for the race...hm. giving them tails/horns could work. you could also give them color as well, but only slight variations. really dark red, really dark blue, really dark green, etc etc. not wholly pitch black but really, really close.

I suppose that could work...?
If I add tails or horns or something I'm going to have to make believable sprites... Hrm...
Mmmm, I'll have to think about it.
In the mean time, I've managed to convert all 68 hairs to pitch black after fiddling with batch manipulation for an hour. Yayyy?

GIMP is what I used. Specifically an addon for it called BIMP.
Trust me, doing it in 5 mins would be possible but sooo horribly boring. I did 8 manually and gave up before looking for a batch plugin.
*days without running out of ink in the middle of an final exam paper* +1




played as it meant to be
AND THE INEVITABLE HAPPENED.
I thought I had everything nessessary ready, loaded up the ga-INSTANT ERROR!
Something about "portraitFrames" JSON something something. I looked through the files I thought might be causing the error but I have no idea where the error is, if it's something incorrect or something missing, etc.
ARGH!

I'd ask someone well versed in Starbound modding to help me out, but I don't think anyone who is around here frequently knows a whole lot about it.
