Can't Create Custom Weapons with Starcheat Anymore?

    I am used to all the assets from before the Upbeat Giraffe update, and never took the time to unpack the new ones until now.

    To my dismay, I can't find the base asset files for the randomly generated guns or melee weapons anymore. Meaning, I am no longer able to create custom guns and swords anymore, or by extension, colour them, in Starcheat.

    If I've overlooked something or I'm mistaken, please let me know. I really don't want to use a green gun on Magnus anymore.

    Need to use the old format.
    With the ID generated gun.

    I found the asset folders that hold all that old information, so that's a start.

    Now I have a new problem, I'm trying to colour armour pieces in StarCheat (there are people on the server that said it could be done) but I'm having difficulty figuring out what's wrong with the JSON parameter I've put in.

    I'm trying to edit the Outlaw Chest (novakid, tier 3).
    Parameter name: colorOptions
    "image": "/items/armors/novakid/nova-tier3/chest.png?replace;a47844=8d0000;754c23=740000;472b13=520000;555555=1c1c1c;383838=121212;151515=151515;fbdf71=e3e3e3;d9b035=e1e1e1;e0975c=bdbdbd;ffca8a=bdbdbd;a85636=a1a1a1"

    The game considers this to be an invalid JSON. Not sure how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You don't wanna use colorOptions, that's just a list of colors Starbound uses when generating the item. What you wanna do is create a new parameter called "directives" and add in "?replace;a47844=8d0000;754c23=740000;472b13=520000;555555=1c1c1c;383838=121212;151515=151515;fbdf71=e3e3e3;d9b035=e1e1e1;e0975c=bdbdbd;ffca8a=bdbdbd;a85636=a1a1a1". You wanna leave out the item image information; It's redundant, the item already has a parameter that determines the sprite.
