Helmets and shields reset their colors upon leaving map

As in the title. For example:
- When I change my colors to green, helmet and shield also becomes green. Upon leaving the map/loading game, helmet and shield go back to their default colors.


Solution:
Helmets and shields doesn't go back to their default colors.

    The bug here is actually that the helmets and shields shouldn't be changing colors at all. I'm curious now why that might be happening.

    I can add that to my "Cosmetic Revisions" mod, but the fix here is actually to make sure that the helmets and shields don't change colors at all.

    EDIT: I've logged the bug in our tracker.

    Did you put this mod somewhere? It sounds awesome.
    Maybe you could make it, so helms and shields have different color menu, so you can have 4 different colours on your character? If that is even possible?


    EDIT:
    I have even better idea. For mod OR even for vanilla EE:
    Make an option in inventory screen, that you can have default colors or recolorable helm/shield.

    One of my next planned changes is to remove the color effects from base armors, which (among other things) would allow shields and helmets to use your major/minor color selections.

    Is this really intended? That you can't customize Helmets and Shields with different colors? If that's the case, why are their even colors to choose from at all? Hard to believe that this was the intended behavior. If so its a step back from the original in terms of cosmetic customization of characters.

    Nice mod!

    I've also created some new components for helmets and shields (and armor, if you're interested in that).

    @Aosaw: originally shields and helmet plumes could change color. Is this an intentional change to making them unchangeable?

    @Dux89
    Strictly speaking, the change was that we just added a color effect to override your major/minor colors for the plume and shield. But yes, I believe it was intentional.

    If you want to remove those color effects, the mod linked above has a piece (somewhere in that thread) specifically for armors, shields, and helmets.
