there's only three colours to pick from. Did you know that by either modifying the .ini or using a special program, you can pick any colour you like?

Domino, you can modify the colour manually in Soldat\Profiles\name.ini - skin_color
You change it by putting in an RGB hex (whatever) value. The format is $00RRGGBB (the first two digits after the dollar sign are always zero) If you want red skin, you modify the string to look like this: skin_color=$00FF0000

Google RGB hex to find out the colours.

You sure it's RGB? I was trying to change it manually before, and the result was always not what I expected. I remember a thread where EnEsCe himself stated that the color format for skin works differently. But I can't find that thread. :S
upd: woot, found it!

The colour codes are Delphi's "TColor" format. Which is just $AABBGGRR, each letter combo being a HEX value of 00->FF (1->255). You can either use the above $ format, built in colour strings such as clRed, clBlack etc, or an integer representation of the $ code, but that's silly.

Either way, just use Gostek Viewer. IMHO it's the best tool for customizing your soldier: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=465.0


by the way, you don't have to register to change skin color...

Haha yea I knew there was something fishy in it. The only difference really is that blue & red have switched places. Every time I change it I have to check which value is which first.

Yes, it does. Make sure you extract it right under your Soldat folder, eg: C:\Soldat\Gostek Viewer\

I can't remember, but it might require you to run it as admin.

It doesn't if you have registered the game. It only changes soldat.ini, not the .ini files in the profiles directory.

Oh. In which case, I'm pretty sure if you click the arrow in the top left corner of the gostek viewer, it lets you pick which profile to edit.

[Dusty]

Nope, it doesn't.

go to your soldat directory. open up profiles. click your config file. not the .txt file.
locate (ctrl+f) skin_color.  here, you'll find =... whatever.  replace skin_color=... with skin_color=65793.
that's black.
if you want like, lime green, make your hair color lime green in soldat.exe while modifying players, go back into your profile config, locate hair_color, and copy/paste the number it gives you for lime green hair to your skin_color. hope that helps.

Hmm, I always put 0 as my skin_color and it gives me black skin.

As to the rest of the topic. I used SSCC - it worked fine.
