Hi Havelock!
I think this is a matter of translation into another language. I will try to clarify:
The original Maxis/EA Mahjong Table had no ability to be recolored in the
SimPE Wizard, even though I already had the CEP. Just using the
CEP did not give it the function to be recolored. If I tried to recolor it, no texture showed up -- nothing to choose in order to add a different texture.
The same thing happened in the
SimPE object workshop. There was no way to get a texture to recolor. So I cloned the object in order to finally get a texture I could alter. But, once it was cloned, there was still no way to make recolors of the clone. The recolor texture was missing in the original and all clones made from the original. Not there at all. Never there.
While it is true that Numenor made the CEP, and gave all of us the ability to recolor objects, some of the objects in the game still could not be recolored -- not without special help beyond the regular use of the CEP. The Mahjong Table is one of those objects that cannot be normally recolored, even while using the CEP.
So, when you "fixed" my unrecolorable clone, you made a Mahjong Table that is finally and for the first time now able to be recolored -- this is unique because other Mahjong Tables, including the original, still cannot be recolored.
So because of what you did, if someone uses my clone as a base, they can easily recolor a Mahjong Table, and that is a new function you added that did not exist before in any of the Mahjong Tables. That is why I say you are the one who made the Mahjong Table recolorable.
Have I said this in a way that is understandable to you?
I do not feel I am slighting Numenor by saying these things. I know that without the CEP, no one would be doing any recolors -- and without SimPE, no one would be doing any clones, either. I hold Numenor and Quaxi in the highest regard, and I am very thankful for what they have done. I'm sure everyone feels the same.
But, you are the one who helped me, in the forum, when I was having difficulty with my clone. And it was you who added the missing bits of code that made it an object which can now be recolored. So, you are the one to whom I give my special thanks. :D
