Tinting character with diff colours

[Fabiano]

Heya. I was wondering if there is a way to make the same character graphic with several colors, like BG games, when you have the same sprite in diff characters with diff colors, without needing to color everyone by hand using wildcard colors, something like:
c.Ego.color(X,Y,Z,..); // you tell that the 3 wildcard colours are X,Y and Z

example:

Well, you can mess around with the palette, and maybe some individual slots... or something.

You could also mess around with Character.Tint, though that will tint the entire character, not just specific parts of it.

Unless you were very clever and came up with a way of having separate graphics for each part of the character... then you could individually change the tint...

Or you could have a mask-like image that is drawn over the character...

That's how RPGs like Diablo, etc do it.

It's not impossible, that... I mean, with character.followExactly (or something) stuff like this is actually achievable.

nice. I'll try using masks and tint.
