Zone Color Changer
Allows zone color modification. Useful for players with color issues like color-blindness or for those who don’t like the default colors. Press Ctrl+K.
This is a continuation of the mod Zone Colours.
The mod provides an option to change the color of each zone type, zoning panel icons are not affected. (would be a great feature) The color profile is stored in in AppDataLocalColossal OrderCities_SkylinesModConfigzone-color-changer.cfg like the original mod did.
The color pickers have been in the zoning panel above the rico icons. Was cool but the colorfield always expanded to the bottom (even if set to top, something with border wrapping I think, couldn’t solve it) with lower half out of the screen. So the color pickers are in their own UI Panel (which doesn’t remember its position on reload) now, the toggle keybind (default Ctrl+K) can be set in mod option panel. They are not labeled but in same order as in the zoning panel, should be obvious and I didn’t want to clutter the UI.
Taking the color pickers out of the zoning panel solved the random crash at newgame bug in the original mod. It tried to access the zoning panel before it was unlocked or something like that.
The old mod did only save at OnLevelUnloading(), fast return to desktop and crashes would not save the profile, so three buttons (I could not figure out how to load custom sprites I gave up) were added:
save current (and overwrite a previously saved) color profile to the .cfg file
load previously saved color profile from the .cfg file
reset to default color profile (but do not save the profile)
The mod is not perfect and the color pickers in an own panel seems like a step back, but it’s working. Some "design decisions" are results of bad programming skills. I did not find any other mod providing the feature this mod does (if there is any pls let me know). Early beta version, feedback, suggestions and contributions are welcome 🙂
