The following options are added:
Soulless enemies will appear with no textures and a shaded selectable color applied to their bodies. This will be the new default option for the Soulless Look.
Example with black color (the default):
Example with red color:
Soulless enemies will appear in black and white.
Example:
Soulless enemies will appear normal.
The Purple Flames option is updated to display multiple flames across the volume of the enemy's colliders, making the shape more distinguishable.
The Flashing option is unchanged.
Technical notes
The new options are implemented by editing the CMB model data after it's loaded into memory, but before the game parses it to initialize the CMB Manager internal struct. This happens inside the game's
ZAR_GetCMBByIndexfunction.For the Textureless option, the model's materials are edited to not use any combiners, and to set
ambientanddiffusecolors to the one chosen by the player.For the Grayscale option, every combiner operand that has the value
coloris changed to the valuegreen, so the game will only take the green channel from the texture and draw it in grayscale.If a soul is obtained while the corresponding enemy is loaded, all the edits to the model data are reverted, and every struct depending on it is reinitialized (mainly CmbManager, SkeletonAnimationModel, and SkelAnime). To do this, during the initial model editing the original values are stored in unused parts of the CMB data, so they can be reapplied later without having to reload the Object file from storage memory.

The CMB format structs were taken from some templates made by TrainRLG/M1, and the documentation on the CloudModding wiki.
