Looks like the mod is packaged with an incorrect filename.
oops, uploaded the zip with an incorrect info.json file. I've fixed it. let me know if you encounter any other issues.

I'm thinking about bob's mods where there are more of those. And maybe support for bob's faster belts but thats a bonus
Finally got around to completing that. new release, v1.1, support for bobsmods. let me know if you find something that doesn't work

Thanks, it seems to work nicely. Not all entities on the map updated after loading save - might be game issue with not updating minimap.
Stuff near me updated but not in main base.
Those new colors will need some getting used to

to redraw the map to the new colors; the colors will slowly update as the game progresses if you don't type the code (not everything on the map is updated all the time). not a game issue.

Updated to work with factorio version 0.13.x; code for belts, etc in other mods may/may not work at this time (until they are all updated and they are tested with this mod) https://mods.factorio.com/mods/osldgoth ... Map_Colors

How does this effect ore's for example I'm always having problems differentiating between Iron & Tin in bob's mods on the map. This is just one example there are more that I have problems differentiating between.
v1.3.5 - Now with a GUI legend which updates as you research. Newly colored items are roboport, radar, and pipes(both pipe to ground, straight pipe and storage tanks). As before bobs belts and 5dim belts are colored and in the legend (if mod is installed and tech is researched). DyTech belts however while still would be colored, are not in the legend until that mod is updated for factorio version 0.14.x The mod now also runs rechart() if you add the mod to existing saves or update to a new version (IE: 1.3 > 1.3.5), however, if you remove the mod, you will need to run rechart() yourself to revert the colors back to factorio default.
Disclaimer: I still have a few tweaks to make and multiplayer has not been fully tested. As always please report issues here.

Don't know if this is possible, but it would be cool if you could change lights that are "on" a different color?

I am sure this is possible to a point. At least having the code 'know' when the light is on/off, setting a color for each state... is easy. but getting the map to show the color isn't as easy. You wouldn't want to redraw the entire map every time a light blinks. On large maps rechart() takes a while. There is a way to update just the chunk an entity (the light) is in; However, I think having an icon on the map would be better in cases like this instead of changing the color of the entity. A map icon is outside the bounds of this mod. I would like to figure out how (if it's possible) to add icons to the map for future mods. Of-course one could always just skip the icons on the map and instead use a gui or write something to the console!

similar to how I've done it for this mod.
data.raw[entity-type][entity-name].map_color = {whatever color you want} or use .friendly_map_color if you need
