i often find myself wishing that there were more joint colors in toribash, or that i had the option to select my own colors for my joints.

joint textures are insufficient to create custom colors (in the way that body textures can create custom gradients) because they shade both the relax and force colors—if, for example, i wanted a bright emerald force and a hot pink relax, this would be impossible.


this is my solution: the custom joint color forge.

the forge could work in the same way the flame forge does; it would create a single, unique, tradeable item


the only necessary variables on the ingame forge itself would be force/relax, rgb values, and whatever variable makes supernova different from vampire



as for the issue of pricing: i dont believe that there should be a qi restriction on the forge, but existing colors should be prohibited. the price should be in the 150-250k range imo, maybe more to compete with no-qi marketeers items

So if someone does this and makes their own custom joint color, I guess wearing sets is out of the question unless they are made custom.

I also don't see any way that the person creating the new color could sell their color when they want a new custom color, unless a new item is made which can support all different possible color combinations. Not to mention, there would be no way to restrict market prices on such items. And oh lord, how is someone going to possibly find your specific custom color that you made and put on the market? Entering the RGB ratios?

I can't think of a color that hasn't already been created in this game that isn't closely related to another on the spectrum. If you want a specific color that doesn't happen to be in the shop or on the market you can just buy full 128x128 joints (which are much cheaper than your pricing in the op) and make a blank texture which can be any color that you please.

i addressed why joint textures are insufficient in the op.

i also addressed the market question: they would be handled the exact same way as flames

and yes, if you have a set designed to match a particular force and relax, it will not match if you change your force or relax..... not really sure why that is relevant

It's just going to end up being a cluster in the market of every single color code there is, but it could also be a way to sink tc. half supported/half unsupported.

I honestly think that they should be untradeable. I mean, what's to stop me from making a void force, and then subtract 1 unit from the RGB. There we go, now I have a colour so close to void that I can crash the market with it. Then there's the question of it being no QI. I mean, if every tom, dick, and harry can get themselves a close-enough-to-void/demon/pure etc item, then the current colours would be worthless for those who earn them (there would be no accomplishment, because whitebelts could wear something super close to what a custom belt could wear).

Basically, I love this concept, and I do agree that there should be a change to the way that some joints work so that you can edit the relax of a joint (because I also find it hard to play with joints, because it's hard to tell if it's held or relaxed), but I don't think that this will solve the problem.

I support this idea, but it's execution sounds like bad news bears.

This wouldn't be a problem using the same function used in the usertitle shop.

Theres no point of this , If this was real It would mess up the game. We have alot of colors in the game , basically why do we need more? we have so many customizations and that Color forge would just mess it up.
Unsupported

I like this idea and there are a million new colors that could be made

And i have an idea to fix the problem with void and stuff that might work? Idk. what if the colors you could could choose were like the colors of a rainbow so pure and black could not be created, but then you could adjust the saturation and lightness (for more color varieties) but the scales for saturation/lightness dont adjust far enough to have a color dark enough to pass for void and not light enough to pass for pure?
But idk if that could work because it might mess with the rgb code.
Hope that makes sence

Overall i really like this idea and i support it
