[MOD 0.15+] Color Picker 0.4.4 - Reworked mod settings

[Mooncat]

looks interesting how about a version that works on lamps?

Thanks!
Lamp color is limited by the circuit signals. So this mod cannot be applied on lamps.

I think I'm doing something wrong. I've installed Color Picker and the locomotive/wagon/train stop/player mods, but I don't get the new color GUI anywhere. I'm on Factorio 0.15.12, Color Picker 0.3.0, and the lateest versions of the other mods. All of them are toggled on. Is there something else I need to do to find/activate/use the Color Picker interface?

Hi,

Color Picker is only the core mod. You need to install one of these https://mods.factorio.com/?q=Color+picker additional mods for what you want to recolor.

Don't know what's happening there...
Do you see the small rectangular button with the icon of player on the top bar of your screen? It is from the Player Color mod and should be always visible. Click it to open the color picker UI.

For the other mods, you will have to open a locomotive, cargo wagon or train station. Then, a button will appear on the left of your screen. Click it to open the UI.
If it still doesn't work.... please tell me your mod list.

Aaah, there it is. I was looking for a toggle switch or something in the locomotive pop-up, and didn't see the little icon in the upper left.

Unless I missed it (which is possible), the mod description isn't terribly clear about that--maybe you could update it? In any case, though, thanks for the help, and the great mod!

Sure! I will update the descriptions when I update them. I'm planning to make new features (e.g. customizable color presets). But don't know when I will have time to do so.

In case you were not aware, Color Picker in .15.27 now throws an error on Line 45 of control.lua related to new changes on 15.27 remote calls

Yes, it is addressed in Color Picker - Locomotive.
Color Picker itself doesn't have problem, but the mods that use its function doesn't work for now.

Here is the announcement of the big update of Color Picker!

Version 0.4.0

• Changed the mod license from CC BY-NC 4.0 to GNU LGPLv3.
• Added Chinese mod name and description for Factorio 0.15.24+.
• Combined the following mods, you can delete them if you have installed them before:
  • Color Picker - Player
  • Color Picker - Train Stop
  • Color Picker - Locomotive
  • Color Picker - Cargo Wagon
• The color picker for the above entities will be opened by default instead of collapsed when the entity is selected.
  • It will also keep being opened when you select another entity that supports color picker.
• Added runtime mod settings to disable the above color pickers.
• Added the ability to copy-and-paste the color from a locomotive or train stop to cargo wagons or the other way around. It can be disabled with the new startup mod setting.
• Added support for the alpha channel.
  • Added "support_alpha" optional parameter for the "add_instance" method. It is false by default.
  • The alpha channel is supported for player color, train stop color, locomotive color and cargo wagon color.
• The "result_caption" of the "add_instance" method is deprecated.
• Added the ability to store color presets. By default, the default locomotive color, player color and a blue color are defined as presets.
  • You can add your own presets by clicking the last button in the presets table. 24 presets can be stored for each player at most.
  • You can name the presets by alt-clicking the preset buttons.
  • You can quickly remove presets by shift-clicking the preset buttons.
  • Due to technical limitation, presets cannot be saved across different games. This may be solved in the future.
• Known issue: because the UI has been reworked, existing color picker UIs from the old saves may not work properly. Please close and reopen them.

The color picker sub-mods have been combined into this single mod.
The alpha channel is supported (it was a mistake to not support it before).
You can now save color presets! (A reference to Unity's color picker)

Edit: This will be in the next version:

Didn't want to push the support for fluid-wagon so early. But I made a silly mistake in 0.4.0...

Changelog

• Added color mask for fluid wagon.
  • Added public function for modders to add the same set of color masks to other fluid wagon entities.
• Added color picker support for fluid wagon.
• Added mod settings to disable the above features.
• Reworked the "Make color pastable between cargo wagon and others" to "Make color pastable between wagon and others".
  • It now also applies on fluid wagons.
• Fixed error when loading a save that contains older version of Color Picker.

[Lezreth]

When loading my current game which had the original sub-mods (player color, etc.), the color picker button does not appear in the toolbar. It does show up when starting a new game or when loading a game which did not originally have any of the color picker mods loaded. (Might be a migration problem?)

[Mooncat]

Released v0.4.2.

Changelog

• Removed the blue default color preset. Added the colors of coal, stone, iron, copper and uranium as default presets.
• Added default names for the default color presets.
• Updated the tooltip format of the color preset buttons.
• Updated the style of the hex color textfield for invalid value, to match the style from vanilla.
• Improved the presentation of transparent color:
  • For the result color block, the top-left part of the block shows transparency while the bottom-right part remains opaque.
  • For the color presets, when a preset button is hovered, its color becomes opaque.
• Fixed the bug that the alpha channel is hidden after the color picker for train stop, locomotive, cargo wagon or fluid wagon is re-opened by clicking the button on the left side.

When loading my current game which had the original sub-mods (player color, etc.), the color picker button does not appear in the toolbar. It does show up when starting a new game or when loading a game which did not originally have any of the color picker mods loaded. (Might be a migration problem?)

Thanks for the report. This will take me some time to verify because I need to downgrade Factorio.
For a quick fix, I think you can first delete Color Picker and all sub-mods, then load the game and save. Next, install Color Picker and load the game again. This way, Color Picker should be treated as a new mod in that game.
Edit: found the cause. The above quick fix won't work. It will be fixed in v0.4.3.

[Mooncat]

Released v0.4.3. A small patch.

Changelog

• The player color button is now shown correctly when loading a save that had Color Picker older than v0.4.0.
  • If the button is not shown and you have saved the game with Color Picker v0.4.0+, please turn off Mod settings > Map > Enable player color picker, apply, and then turn it on again.

[Mooncat]

Released v0.4.4.

Changelog

• You will be notified to uninstall the old Color Picker sub-mods if any of them is detected..
• The mod settings under "Map" have been switched to "Per player".
• Now changing the colors of train stops, locomotives, cargo wagons and fluid wagons using the color picker or via copy-and-pasting requires the permission to set entity color.

I made the mod settings in "Map", because I thought it would be a good idea to let the server admins to control the accessibility of color pickers.
But I soon realized Factorio's permission system has already provided such ability. That's why this update exists.

Also, because there are quite a number of reports about errors caused by the old Color Picker sub-mods, starting from this version, you will be notified to delete them if any is detected.

The game crashes when using your mod with the Railway Painter mod. Your mod works fine when using it other ways, but when clicking on "New" in Railway Painter and clicking on any of the buttons in the Color Picker window the game crashes. I am posting this in both places as I don't know which one is causing the crash. The error message is below:

Error while running event color-picker::on_gui_click (ID 1)
Can't copy object of type function
stack traceback:

Whilst trying to assign a colour (purple) to the list with ALT+click the game crashed with the following error.......



The list of the other mods being used can be found here.....

PS I've now fixed this - the button style name had been changed in the vanilla core files

Incompatibility with More Locomotives or Vehicle Grid or both.

Just installed Color Picker on our server - one of the players was getting this error.

But the rest of us weren't.

We found the workaround.......

Open up your Graphics Option settings and Uncheck Low Quality Sprite Rotation
Now restart Factorio
