I'm 99% sure it is impossible. When Dillo is loaded (heck, probably at the start of the game even), it reads the texture from the file into video memory where it resides until it needs to be drawn. So whenever dillo is drawn, it uses that one texture.

The only possible chance would be if the game doesn't cache its resources and for each dillo it creates and loads its own copy of the texture, which would mean the only chance to change the texture is in between the individual loading of the dillo and their textures.

ok

Ok then, just change the texture file. If you knew coding you could change anything in this game, or any game for that matter. I modded the heck outa oblivion.

I do know coding.

Changing the texture file would change every dillo to that texture, not an individual one.

well yea

Yea, i was just giving a swift example of the fact that at least changing the dillo was possible. So really all you would have to do for multiple's is actually add mutiple dillo's to the game. Not through a level editor though, since that would make all dillo's use the same file. You would literally have to create a new dillo, at least the texture file anyway. You could probably find the code for the dillo and rip it to make your own.

The Great Armadillo Father could do it.
Maybe our friend the coder and the patcher could do it.

I sure as hell can't.

By 'The Great Armadillo Father' I think Tyhm meant Peter Stock, the person who designed Armadillo Run.

I don't think s/he meant to offend you.

PS: All hail Peter Stock! :D
