Appearance API since 0.1.5
From 0.1.5 setNpcIdentity, setNpcSkinColor and setNpcTattoo remain independent of armor. Changing or removing armor does not clear these values. Covered skin/tattoo regions naturally remain hidden by garments.
Armor parts (from 0.1.9)
Available from 0.1.9. Armor catalog lists the 26 bases; Armor upgrade catalog lists all 84 pieces. This existing function/guide is not newly introduced in 0.1.9. The new upgrade system adds per-character top/mid/bottom selections, full presets and separate player/NPC setters. A different base clears the old parts; choosing the same base keeps compatible selections. Identity, skin tint and tattoos remain separate. See the guide for requirements, safe replacement and synchronization validation.
