I've noticed you got a nice pile of hexcode gibberish in your sig, which probably should be displayed in Japanese. Where did you get Japanese text support? Whenever I try to d/l it, it just errors me to hell.

TheGerf, not just any gerf.

As grenideer mentioned, you could use palette manipulation to handle this, if you're very careful, and you're using 8 bit color rather than 15/16 bit. The problem is that you would have to set aside a block of colors for use only on a single character, otherwise you'd have your trees or other characters turning funky colors when the player changes his clothes or skin color. If you set aside a few colors (say, colors 240 through 255) for use in the player's clothing, skin, etc, and document all of the assignments you make (color 240 is for skin color, 241 for hair, etc) then you could use the pal array to (see VERGEC.TXT) modify the colors. One way would be to preprogram several colors into the game (give the player a choice between green, aqua or pink, for example), or just give them 3 color bars a la RPG menu color changers. Good luck.
