Seems like there is no effect.
Apparently the json palette with the stat checker on is unable to see the path to modified files like:
Code:
"Graphics/Portrait/Lona/../../../ModScripts/_Mods/Lona_Booba_Graphics/Graphics/Portrait/Lona/pose1_subpose1_body.png"
or
Code:
"../../../ModScripts/_Mods/Lona_Booba_Graphics/Graphics/Portrait/Lona/pose1_subpose1_body.png"
or
Code:
"ModScripts/_Mods/Lona_Booba_Graphics/Graphics/Portrait/Lona/pose1_subpose1_body.png"
etc.
However, for example, the head is repainted successfully, because the path to the files is original.
So I guess I'll just stick to the previous method of loading the palette through script until I find, or someone else finds, another one.
