You're quite the archaeologist, haha. I got tired of looking for the post you were replying to.

There was a small bug in the mod – only the combat model was changed. Now, the model for the map has been replaced with the combat model, so the bug is gone.

Hello everyone!
How difficult would it be to recolor the Dolmen of Knowledge? (An object that grants 1000 experience points upon visiting). Specifically, I need to change the blue color of the crystal to red, green, or purple.
There's also an effect, and I'm not sure how much of a hassle it would be to remove it, or if it can simply be recolored. To be honest, I haven't looked into this, so I'm asking.
I'm only interested in the object's appearance (and the effect, if possible). A new object will be created from a copy of the dolmen with a different color, so only the recoloring is needed.
If anyone knowledgeable reads this and thinks it's too difficult or tedious, please let me know so I know I need to find another way to do it.

You can easily repaint the dolmen itself, but you need to see the effect – sometimes the effects alter the textures, but I don’t think there should be any problems.

Okay, I'll help. But there are a couple of questions, and the final result depends on them.

1) Do you only need the models? That is, will you create the objects for the map yourself and assign the models and effects to them?

2) If you don't know how to create objects, I'll create them, and you'll only need to specify the paths in the Shared string, but then I need to know what these dolmens should be – the same Knowledge Dolmens, or maybe buildings for defense/attack/knowledge/magic power, or maybe just decorations.

3) If you don't know what the Shared string is, I'll add these objects to the object panel, but the questions from point 2 still apply.

Here are the dolmens; in the archive, there are folders with models and effects. There's also a folder called "Posters" – it contains objects with paths to effects and models defined. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you very much! It looks great. I've already connected everything, and the objects are basically ready. Thanks for the xdb portrait; it sped up the process a bit.
I'll try to figure out the files; maybe I can recolor something myself if needed .
For now, just a "plus to your karma" .

You can recolor it; the stone textures are in DDS format in the models folder. You can open them in Paint.NET or Photoshop.

Here's my "original" texture in PDN format (I don't know if you can open it in Photoshop; this format is used by the Paint.NET program). The trick is in the layers: the first layer is the yellow stone of the monument, and the second layer is the colored stone, which you can safely recolor without damaging the first layer.

So, basically, if I take any texture (well, not just any, but let's say hypothetically), cut out parts of the objects onto a new layer, recolor the layer, and save it, will that result in a "safe recoloring"?
