[2.0.15] Spidertron remote does not recolor

Post by Yodo »

In 1.1 the Spidertron remote would change color to match the color of the Spidertron it is controlling, but in 2.0.15 this is no longer the case. I understand that there will be limitations when controlling multiple Spidertrons, but for single Spidertrons I hope that the remote can match the color of the Spidertron it is connected to. Right now the remote just stays white.

Have you considered using flow routers instead of balancers?

+1 please, makes controlling several groups of spidertrons at once a bit easier when I can tell groups apart.

Thanks for the report however I don't see this happening. The logic and internals of the remote(s) were changed completely such that the item in the cursor has no idea which spidertrons if any it's linked to. It just exists to render the static icon defined in the prototype and do the selection rendering.

Let's solve this problem. It is nice to be able to change the color of the remote control for one Spidertron or even group. I suggest applying the color to all spidertrons in a group. If a player changes the color for one spidertron, the other spidertrons will also have that color with remoter as well. Or, at least, to be able change color for remoter. Thank you.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like here can be created a group like for locomotives? Then we will have ability to change the colors for all group.
