Long description

Important: this mod depends on Color Picker. You will have to download it together with this mod. Otherwise, this mod will not be enabled, because the color picker is the main feature of this mod.

You may also want to use the Brighter Color Mask - Locomotive mod.

When you select a locomotive, a small button will appear at the left side. Click it to open the color picker and change the locomotive's color with it.

Version history

Version 0.2.1 (May 1, 2017):

• Changed mod name from "Locomotive Color" to "Color Picker - Locomotive", for better mod grouping.
  • Mod ID is not affected.
• Updated the button to use the new locomotive icon.

Version 0.2.0 (May 1, 2017): Updated for Factorio 0.15.

Version 0.1.0 (Oct 16, 2016): The first version.

Known issues

Before the color of a locomotive is changed, the color picker shows that it is white, but in fact it is not (light-red for vanilla diesel locomotive and yellow for FARL). It is due to the limitation of the modding API. We can get locomotive's color only after it is edited.
Also, there is no way to synchronize the built-in UI with our color picker.

Released v0.2.1 with a new mod name (ID is not affected, so you can safely update).
Also updated the button icon.

It is known that this mod is causing error in 0.15.27.
But I need some time to fix it. Please disable the mod for now if you are playing 0.15.27.

PS: same as other color picker sub-mods.

This is the error I was talking about.
I'm working on combining the mods into Color Picker, so you can delete it for now and wait for the new version of Color Picker.

Cool! Thanks! Should I delete these mods completely or will the current ones notify me of updates?

Also, how long ago did you notice this was broken? Reasons I ask is because I was a witness to seeing a dev in a large MP stream notice it and RGB manipulation got immediately fixed. I'm wondering if THIS is also byproduct of their fix.

Just delete them except the Color Picker mod. I think by the time when I finish the update, no one will still keep the Color Picker sub-mods because they are causing error now.

What fix do you mean? The error is caused by a change in 0.15.27

Fixed that mods could do remote calls outside of events when the game isn't in a valid state. (50509)

The workflow that has already been here since 0.12 (when I started playing Factorio) is suddenly broken in this update.

Thanks! I delete all but the Color Picker mod. I assume the later quote/statement was for another user so I'll ignore.

EDIT: Have you considered a "Color Picker for Cars/Tanks" (and, possibly, any other sort of mod vehicles that might be brought into the game)?

That quote was the answer of "how long ago did you notice this was broken?"
Cars and tanks change color only when a player enters. And the color will be the same as the player color. No way to change that with API.
PS: I think I can release the update tonight, or tomorrow.
PS2: Quite sure you will be surprised by the new feature.

[abordoli]

So will I just be updating Color Picker or the entire color picker suite?

Just Color Picker. You can simply delete the other color picker mods (player color, train stop color, locomotive color, wagon color).
I'm updating the document, and will push the new version shortly.

Looking forward to it! Do you that graphic handy where you have the RGB/Hex values that mimic the ore colors, etc.?

Up there it is --/\
The values are in hex

[abordoli]

Thanks! I thought I saw them somewhere, but couldn't find them again for some reason.

The colors need to be updated, since the alpha channel is now supported.
As a quick fix, you can simply add "FF" after all the hex colors, e.g. coal becomes "040404FF".
I will include the vanilla ore colors as the default color presets in the next version.
