Dyeing messages are inauthentic

Issue

These are the current messages for mixing dyes and using them on a cape in Open RSC

(  NONE) You mix the Dyes
(  NONE) You dye the Cape

These are made up messages.

There are unfortunately not many instances of mixing different dyes and applying them to capes in RSC+ replays. However, we have a few singular messages that can be used to assume a general format.

Dyeing Cape

From /Logg/Tylerbeg/08-02-2018 13.22.33 draynor village, 24 minutes in

(the only instance of dyeing any cape)

(  NONE) You dye the black cape blue

Other dyeing messages

We also have these messages for dyeing other items:

You dye the goblin armour blue
You dye the goblin armour Orange
You dye the wig blond

We can look at all these messages, and see the pattern

String.format("You dye the %s %s", eligibleDyeableItemFriendlyName, dyeName)

Unfortunately, because these are the only dye messages, the exact strings & their capitalizations are not known for all colours & items that are known to be dyeable.

All we can say is that

  1. it seems that for at least black cape, they have used all lower case & specified the colour of the cape, which is not in the item name
  2. blue is "blue", Orange is "Orange", yellow when used on wig is "blond". Were other colours randomly capitalized? We do not know from looking at replays, and it is possible that this information is lost.
  3. "I hope that someone else in the past recorded this somewhere."

Additionally

Mixing Dyes

From /1e_Luis/Quests/Goblin Diplomacy

(one of two people to do Goblin Diplomacy, and the only message for mixing dyes)

(  NONE) You mix the two dyes and make an orange dye

Red & Yellow dyes are the only dyes mixed together in RSC+ replays. Messages for Green & Purple are not in replays. Note that Orange is not capitalized here... It doesn't use the same dyeName array.
