I want to make it so that in a mod I plan on making changing the shirt color instead changes a character that you're playing as, and changing the pants color changes the skin for that character. Each of the characters would have a unique character model, and would have unique gameplay. I'm wanting to target Ironwail at the very least, as that's the source port I use regularly.
 
It is not possible to change the character colors. You have to create new models for that color of the character.
Also for gameplay you need to make code changes.

I'm confused by this. "It's not possible" and "you have to create new models" gives me conflicting statements. Can I do that without having to edit the engine itself? I already planned on having multiple character models. "Also for gameplay you need to make code changes." I mean... yeah, that's what I was planning on doing.
