Long description

As requested by Anson:
[quote="Anson"]since i started using mods for train management, i don't color wagons or locomotives myself any longer, but let it do by other mods, eg train ore color. but the resulting engine color is always only another shade of dark grey... maybe you could brighten them up, too ? [/quote]

This mod brightens the color mask of locomotive.



With this gif, you can see the difference with and without this mod:

i already had seen how fast you reacted several days ago, but only now had time to have a look at it on my map with the "train ore colors". finally, i can clearly see the different colors of iron and copper trains and they only have a shade of grey. without this mod, they looked as if someone had tried to clean them with a bar of coal ... thanks !

Released v0.2.0 for Factorio 0.15.
Also added support for HD graphics.

Edit: released v0.2.1, mainly for changing the mod name.

And are you sure this is my mod? Its mod ID is not "brighter-hybrid-train-color-mask".

Sorry, misidentified the mod. It's RailPowerSystem, not Electric Trains.

But it's a bug all the same.

Can verify it. Unfortunately, I can't fix it.
I have reported to its author and hopefully he can fix it: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Hermios/ ... sion/13984
It seems that his scripts will cause more problems if other mods override the image paths from the base mod, just like what my mod is doing.

You could run your data change from data-updates.lua instead of data.lua? That would run his mod first.

Hermios seems to have fixed the bug in RailPowerSystem 0.1.2.

EDIT: Nope, the bug is still here.

I thought that will make my mod unable to find the images. But somehow it is working. Thanks.
But I won't upload it, as I don't think it is the correct solution.

@bigyihsuan Please use the following version with the said modification for now:

Hermios has fixed the issue in v0.1.3 of his mod, so I have deleted the file.
