Horses being called gray but not being gray

#85526 Posted on 2017-01-05 11:32:37

In the rescue centre, when the list of horses comes up the colour is often described as Gray but when you click on the horse its clearly not gray and its profile will say its actual colour. It looks like this:

5 (#555609) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Stallion Novice 1 100 None
6 (#555629) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None
7 (#555630) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None
8 (#555621) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None
9 (#555622) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None
9 (#555632) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None
B (#555651) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None
B (#555653) 0 year old Gray Andalusian Mare Novice 1 100 None

These horses are not all gray, there is a mixture of bays, chestnuts and black horses. It makes it slightly confusing trying to find a horse of a certain colour.

Hope this isnt too difficult to fix!

Thanks!

Not a glitch; all those horses are actually gray just like the RC says. However when you click their page it shows you their base color, because they are young and haven't yet turned grey. When they are 4 it will change to say Chesnut (graying) or Bay (graying) etc.

Of course because they're Andalusians! Hadn't thought of that initially.

However, it still might be a nice idea to have their colour set to something like (graying bay). Probably not possible tho

Thanks

It's not because they're Andalusians. Most horse breeds can be gray, and not all Andalusians are gray.
When they start to gray out, but are not fully gray yet, it WILL say "bay (graying)". Before they start to gray, it will say "bay", or whatever color it is. When it's fully gray, it will say "gray". (they gray with age)
Before you click the actual horse, it will always say gray, however.

Horses aren't born grey, they're born a certain color - bay, chestnut, black, etc - and then grey out as they age. To keep it realistic, EV has the system that slowly greys the horse over time. When you look at the horse it'll tell you the color they are at the time, so foals will be shown as bay, chestnut, black, etc, and then once they hit 3y they'll begin to be shown as bay (greying). Horses shown in a list (so in your own horse lists, sales, or the rc) will be shown as grey, so you do know that the horse will eventually be grey.
