Ophidian's Order Armor & Chromatic Spice - A Conan Exiles Project

This is a proof-of-concept project featuring the creation of a customizable playable armor for Conan Exiles. The objective for this project was two-fold. First, I wanted to recreate from scratch the White Viper armor from Black Desert. Second, I needed to create a tinting system for Conan Exiles that would allow me to customize the armor with up to 12 dye channels in-game. This has been one of my most ambitious projects to-date taking a few months to complete. It has been an incredible learning journey.

The result of the project will become part of two mods. First, the armor will be added to the WAUS mod for Conan Exiles, and the expanded tinting system will be added to the system already present in Chromatic Spice. In order to take advantage of the armor's expanded tint customization, both mods need to be installed.

Chromatic Spice is the tinting system written in blueprints that allows players to non-destructively apply persistent coloring to their armor. Chromatic Spice operates independent of the core game, and does not affect the native tinting system in any way. After the update, the system will support up to 12 tinting channels per armor slot.
