And we should also make it possible to access it from the SpriteBank, so it can be used in the gui.Rseding91 wrote:The "copper_wire_picture" property was removed and converted into a utility sprite that all electric poles use.
I'll convert all of the "utility sprites" to be defined in the core game prototype files for 0.15 so the images can be set by mods.
No. The game only had internal logic for the 2 wire types. It will simply allow you to change the sprite(s) used.aubergine18 wrote:Will this allow additional wire colors to be added, for example if I want a blue wire in addition to red, green and copper? (Would also need to update the `defines.wire_type` and facilitate adding connector/shadow offsets for wires (but not mandating them, eg. I might only want specific entity prototypes to accommodate blue wires).
Would that change allow me to at least colorise/tint the wire via mod code? So player attaches any color to my entity, but then my code can see that and tint the wire blue?I'll convert all of the "utility sprites" to be defined in the core game prototype files for 0.15 so the images can be set by mods.

I was wondering if this was ever implemented. Would like to have power poles with no wires showing between them, even though connected.Rseding91 wrote:The "copper_wire_picture" property was removed and converted into a utility sprite that all electric poles use.

Yep, it's even in the 0.15 changelogTheSAguy wrote:I was wondering if this was ever implemented.

You can mod it out to any other sprite using the same syntax as that file.
