Lua definition

This is an example of a skincolor definition written in Lua. The color is identical to SKINCOLOR_BLUE.

freeslot("SKINCOLOR_BLUECLONE")
skincolors[SKINCOLOR_BLUECLONE] = {
	name = "BlueClone",
	ramp = {146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,253,254},
	invcolor = SKINCOLOR_ORANGE,
	invshade = 9,
	chatcolor = V_BLUEMAP,
	accessible = true
}

SOC definition

This is an example of a skincolor definition written in SOC. The color is identical to SKINCOLOR_BLUE.

I have no idea why you would choose to do this instead of writing it in Lua, but it's a feature so I may as well document it here.

(Due to the lump loading order being the way it is, if you want to use a custom color in S_SKIN, you must write the color in Lua.)
