Mod Tool: Color Picker
« on: April 14, 2019, 05:45:32 pm »

Typing out all the color variations for a modded creature's skin is tedious.



This is easier.

Features:
  • Select graphically from a list of colors
  • Copy the formatted list of colors to clipboard, ready to paste directly to your raw files.
  • Paste line of colors copied from raw files to see how it looks.

That's pretty cool. Can it read out raws as well, could people copy+paste the color values from existing creatures?

It can't read the entire raw, but you can copy and paste any list of color values separated by colons.

Ah, got it. :)

For everyone else: Open the raws, and copy only the color token, like this "AMBER:1:AUBURN:1:BLACK:1:BROWN:1:BUFF:1:BURNT_SIENNA:1:BURNT_UMBER:1:CHARCOAL:1:CHESTNUT:1:CHOCOLATE:1:CINNAMON:1:COPPER:1:DARK_BROWN:1:DARK_CHESTNUT:1:DARK_TAN:1:ECRU:1:FLAX:1:GOLD:1:GOLDEN_YELLOW:1:GOLDENROD:1:LIGHT_BROWN:1:MAHOGANY:1:OCHRE:1:PALE_BROWN:1:PALE_CHESTNUT:1:PUMPKIN:1:RAW_UMBER:1:RUSSET:1:SAFFRON:1:SEPIA:1:TAN:1:TAUPE_DARK:1:TAUPE_GRAY:1:TAUPE_MEDIUM:1:TAUPE_PALE:1:TAUPE_SANDY:1", without the [] or the TL_COLOR_MODIFIER tag.

Then open colorpicker.exe and press the paste button. It will show the colors. If the program crashes, it's because you copied more than just the color tags.

So I'm sure this wasnt in the original scope of your plan... but... have you thought about expanding this program to be able to completely (or almost completely) write a new creature for you. So, have a bunch of potential tags to choose from:

[PET]
[CAN_LEARN]
[CANOPENDOORS]
etc

Could even possibly put a small fill in? [PETVALUE:___]

or maybe somehow add in some if statements: if [BODY:TAIL...

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:TAIL:HAIR]
   [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:

and

[TLCM_NOUN:tail:SINGULAR]

also a  "clear" button that removes all of the selected colors would be nice.

Honestly, I made the tool to fulfill exactly the need that I had at the time. If somebody wants to expand on it, then by all means do so. I'll put the source on github.
