Hair colors

OK, well I was playing around with the hair colors for the dark elves in my mod, and I came up with a rather nice array of potential colors for the player to choose from using the following color codes for the dark elf female face texture:
("dark_elf_female",0xffe3e8ef,["hair_blonde"],[0xff007080c, 0xffFFFFFF, 0xffFF6600, 0xffFF0000, 0xffFF00CC, 0xff6600CC, 0xff0000FF, 0xff007080c]),
The main reason I am posting this here though, is I found out that if I put more than 8 hex codes in, it would crash the game while attempting to load the textures. Here's a screenshot of the colors I used as well as some of the transitional colors in between those eight:

I think it's a pretty good variety. I intend to limit the hair colors the npcs use, but I wanted the player to have as many choices as possible. I intend to make similar varieties for the other races in my mod.
 
Yes. If I wanted to, I could make a duplicate dark_elf_female face texture, rename it to dark_elf_female2 or something, and give the players even more color choices. It's about altering the hue of the base texture, not the actual color. For instance, whenever I tried applying a white color code to it, the hair would still look blonde.

you should be able to edit hair_blonde.dds to be all white, and then the blonde hue will work and give the player an option of choosing white hair as well.
 
8 max... good to know.  What no green hair?  :wink:

I wish you could use more than 1 texture...  Could give a lot more variety with the 8 colors...

Well, what I think I'm going to do is just have multiple identical face textures, but give a different range of colors for each texture.  So that way I can give players a full range of colors. For instance I could make one face texture that used white, yellow/blonde, green, blue, black (white/yellow being the left range, blue/black being the right range, and green being the mid range). Then another face texture that used white, yellow, red, blue, black (white/yellow being the left range, blue/black being the right range, and red being the mid range, thus creating shades of brown/orange on the mid-left, and shades of pink/purple on the mid-right). I hope that makes sense.
 
Hey! I didn't think this needed a new thread so I'm hijacking this one:

Is there a way to have white haired characters that aren't old?

I'm trying to mod the game to be like a story of mine, and I need a white aired young looking guy.

Yeah, but the thing is, I don't really know what that even means... I lack in modding experience and I still don't know how to get my models into the game. Though my question wasn't asked properly:

In the previous versions, there was no slider: instead, the hair color was decided by a simple "Hair Color" button that allowed you to hop from blonde to brown to black to white, and so forth.

My question is: Is there a way to bring that back?
