I'm working on a mod with different bipd's and what i want to do is have the custom apply i would prefer if i could get both primary and secondary color to be visible but its not necessary if anyone knows a tutorial or can tell me how to achieve this i would be very appreciative

You sound like you want a Halo menu edit.
But just skin it. Use entity it extract/inject the dds files.
Use Photoshop with the dds plugin to edit them

USE GOOGLE for the dds plugin and photoshop.

no what i want to happen is if i change the primary color of a spartan to sage i want to have that sage bleed through onto a different Bipd such as a ODST

well i have been hoping someone would find like they did in globals for maps a way to add more colors to choose from rather that the standerd set like a desert camo, jungle and so on ya know but yeah a sage odst sounds cool

Colours are not stored in the globals tags, they're hard coded into the game and have/can only be modified via memory hacking the active executable.

I think he meant the colors you choose when you go to pick a team. In the pregame lobby also during mid-game. Those colors can be edited through the .map file itself. I'm not sure what colors you are talking about but they aren't stored in the executable.

he is too vauge in his question becausea if he wants to change the color of bipds in SP you have to mess with the bipd tag itslef.

I think what he wants to know is if you can make the ODST have colors. And not just be black. Maybe like change areas on the ODST to represent the team you are on. Like if you are on green team, make his biceps or maybe his thighs have a green tint to them so it shows he's on that team.

Create a color change map and reference it in the ODST shader.
