Show spidertron colors in map view

Post by redstonerodent »

Currently, all spidertrons are white (with a red border) in map view. I'd like to be able to tell which remote goes to which spidertron when zoomed out, so I think the map should show the color a spidertron set to.

This could also apply to trains, cars, and any other colorable entities. I think it would look similar to how dots representing players are colored in map view.

Nice idea. Clarity and consistency with player display on the map.
