You know how EA added some extra colours to some of the base game doors in the Dec 2014 patch? Well it bugged me that they didn't add the extras to all of the matching doors. I finally decided to have a go at adding them myself.
I've only created the recolours for the double panel door so far and this is where I have hit a snag.
I have altered the Prototype IDs so that the recolours all show up with the original door and this also appears to have made it so that the design tool will happily switch between the original white and the newly added colours without a script call fail. EA must have fixed that.
My issue is that the game displays my added light brown colour as the default thumb instead of the original white. I still want white to be the first choice so that the catalogue looks consistent.
I tried to change the swatch sort ordering number but I can't give my recolours a number further along than the EA original. I can make the number smaller, but not bigger.
I tried a different route of creating a default replacement of the door and adding my recolours as extra swatches but this had a weird result of giving the door a low detail mesh thumbnail and the original white came last, so I scrapped that one.
