How to use the hairHSL for hair costume. (1 Viewer)

[RokPhenix]

Hello

This tutorial shows artists/modders how to use hairHSL to change the colour of hair costumes (layer) of a SWF hair costume mod, or an SWF hair mod.

It can be useful if you want to use a static toggeable part of hair.

I want to thank @ModGuy because even if he dissappears, he leaves more informations into the forum.
I want to thank SyntaxTerror for his tutorials. This topic is really similar to this tutorial, you should read this before.

example​

how to use the hairHSL to modify the colours of a piece of costume located in the HAIR_COSTUME_UNDEROVER layer.

In your modPackage :

import SDTMods.*;
import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;
import flash.filters.*;

public class ModPackage extends MovieClip
{

public var SDT;

public var g;

//declare your movieclip as usual
public var hairCUnderOver:MovieClip;

function frame1() : *
{
this.registerMod(this.hairCUnderOver);
this.charData = "";
this.modName = "";
this.modCreator = "";

this.SDT = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

try
{
this.g = this.SDT.getDefinition("g"); //Vanilla
this.copyHairHSL(this.g);
}

catch(ex:*)
{
//We're in loader, wait.
}
}

public function initl(param1:*) : void
{
this.copyHairHSL(param1.g); //Loader
}

public function copyHairHSL(param1:*) : void
{

this.hairCUnderOver.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tick);
}

public function tick(param1:*) : *
{
var _loc4_:* = this.g.characterControl.hairHSL;
var _loc5_:* = new ColorMatrixFilter(this.g.getCMFMatrix(_loc4_.h,_loc4_.s,_loc4_.l,_loc4_.c));
this.g.hairCostumeUnderOver.filters = [_loc5_];
}
}

• hsl affects filters.
• To change the layers, modify the name in green (you can use "hairCostumeOver","hairCostumeUnderOver","hairCostumeUnder", "hairCostumeBack").
• If you want to use the others HSL replace hairHSL by skinHSL or hisSkinHSL.
• Keep in mind that headwear registerComponentst is encapsuled in the hairCostume content like this :"this.headwearControl.registerComponents([g.hairCostumeOver.headwear, g.hairCostumeBack.headwear], ModTypes.HEADWEAR);" So if you use "hairCostumeOver", the front headwear is affected too and "hairCostumeBack" is bond with the back headwear. I recommend to avoid these two layers.
  Spoiler: exemple of weird behaviour

  In these pictures, the hairCostumeOver layers is synchronized with the hairHSL, So the headwear front is bond with the hairHSL.

I invite modders to debate and maybe find a way to use the hairCostumeOver without affects the headwear cause the majority of hair mods with haircostume layers have hairCostumeOver and currently this method is not very useful.
