Description

I’ve always wanted to try and mod my own games, mostly to tweak things to my personal preference. However, I'm far from being a programmer (my skills are more in the realm of creative directing, haha) so I never did... until now! Then, I stumbled upon AstralSprout's Custom Dye Mod Guide and one thing led to another...

... and thus, "Once Upon A Dye" came to be!

As of right now, there aren't that many dyes; I made this mostly to experiment with some of my favorite color palettes inspired by popular animated films (I've dropped a hint in each dye as to which ones those are), while also trying to get more comfortable with programming in general.

Since this is my FIRST EVER MOD (whoohoo!), any constructive suggestions are more than welcome.

(NOTE: These dyes lean more toward specific color schemes rather than trying to blend in with the world of Baldur’s Gate, but I did try my best to not make the colors too gaudy.)

Here are the inspirations for each dye if you were curious...

Spoiler:  
Show
"Body Language" = Ariel's palette from The Little Mermaid
"Briar Rose" = Aurora's outdoor palette from Sleeping Beauty
"Fairest One" = Snow White's palette 
"Fitzherbert" = Flynn's palette from Tangled
"Honour" = Mulan's palette from the finale
"Malevolence" = Maleficent palette Sleeping Beauty
"Manly Urges" = Mulan's soldier palette
"Outcast" = Esmeralda 's main palette from The Hunchback of Notre Dame
"Provincial" = Belle's town palette in Beauty & the Beast
"Reflection" = Mulan's matchmaking palette
"True Love" = Anna's main palette in Frozen

The pack of dyes are sold at the following vendors:

(OPTIONAL) There is a version of my mod available for download that adds the dyes to the vendors previously listed AND to the Tutorial Chest, which you can summon mid-game using this mod.


To-Do List

  • Add more dyes
  • Add pack of dyes to more vendors
  • Add option to make dyes consumable
  • Make nicer reference photos for dyes
  • Add compatability for Aetherpoint and Volitio's AV Item Shipment Framework


Installation

  • Choose one of the files to manually download; do not install both!
  • Open BG3 Mod Manager (you can download it here if you don't already have it).
  • Drag and drop the .zip file into BG3MM and it will automatically import over. You can also unzip the file in a different location, if you prefer, then drag and drop the .pak into the app as well.
  • Go to "File" at the top left corner and select "Save Order". Then go to "File" again and choose "Export Order to Game".
  • That's it! The mod should now appear in you game.
  • NOTE: This might also work with Vortex... however, I'm not familiar with it. This mod has only been tested with BG3MM so use Vortex at your own risk.
