FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I was wondering if a lua method could be exposed to use a texture generated in the same way that textures for missing textures are created but being able to specify the color of the texture instead of it being randomly generated.

If you are wanting to specify the color of missing textures instead of random colors, IDK.

If you are wanting to create textures for a mod without providing them, out of thin air so to speak,
yes you can. You will need to use the texture modifiers like "[combine" and "[colorize"

check out these post for an example how we did it for Don's corners mod

i think that is as good as it gets, thanks.

so the color of an entity can be changed after mod load but not a node?

l guess if the node's textures become changed, it only has the new textures after the client rejoins
