Montis' Custom Player Colors v1.35 (2011-08-28)

[Montis]

What it does
This mod let's you customize the color for each player by RGB sliders.
You can also create a custom color for yourself so the slot you take will get this color.

.honmod v1.35 (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4209640/HoN/customplayercolors.honmod) (this requires ModMan v1.2 (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=25883) or above, or the new Java Mod Manager (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=111678))


Notes
- The s2z Version is no longer supported.
- If you have problems with overlapping buttons and text (specifically the "Logged in as:" text overlapping with the Report-a-Player-Button), please try Silv3ri (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=1651401)'s Mod: Hide Language Choice (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=124256#hide_language_choice)


Future plans
* these are if I ever am in the mood (NOT LIKELY!)
- custom presets
- hellbourne and legion colors
- rename the slot names to Player X, so it doesn't say "host has switched blue player" etc anymore (seems hardcoded though :()
- maybe sometime make use of mod options framework

Also, Blacksmith approves of this mod!

:blac:

[Darkager]

I haven't tested this yet, but can you manually enter the numbers for the RGB values?

[Montis]

With this mod? No.
Is that necessary?

[MaxGhost]

With this mod? No.
Is that necessary?


Well it's hard to get exact values with a slider, so I'd say it would be nice to have.

[kevs926]

epic mod for starters..

for those who are so used to wc3 colors, just change the color by a little..like pink to red and edit grey + lightblue

[NiGHTsC]

Thank you so much!!

No more Gray+LightBlue confusions!!

[BlacRyu]

Love it, works great!

[Thageek]

This seems awsome i shall try it out atm :D

[kevs926]

any suggestion what color to use for player 7 or player 8?

[ShadowExile]

Rather than a slider I'd preferr a simple box for R G B.

If you use color text, then you know that you'll be using ^000 - ^999, where it is in RGB form. If you want pure red, it's ^900. It's a lot simpler to use than sliders imo, and would make this mod a lot more easier. If you could achieve this for your next version that would be swell.

[Bearsmith]

This mod is a great idea, but man is it going to be confusing unless you remember the defaults.

[Ignorance]

This mod is a great idea, but man is it going to be confusing unless you remember the defaults.
Refer to enemies by hero name. Makes things a lot easier for everyone. Remember the defaults probably wont be too much of an issue unless you start swapping around colors.

[BlacRyu]

There's a reset button to go back to the defaults. Having a reset button next to each color would be nice as well.

[Sephinator]

Nice Montis :D

[Montis]

so... planned features for nows:
- single-color reset
- textboxes to type in rgb values
- cc-panel implementation so the colors will change for pre-game lobby as well

you guys got anything else? :-)

[Blam]

presets?

[Zejety]

Just remember that not everybody uses this mod when you want to comunicate with your team!
I'll use it =)

[Montis]

presets?
like what?

[SanXo]

Erm, how do I actually use this? Can't find the mod ingame...

EDIT: Never mind, found it on the minimap.

[NiGHTsC]

This mod is a great idea, but man is it going to be confusing unless you remember the defaults.
Yah...just gotta wait for the official version...

[F8]

This is a bad idea, in my opinion.

Many people use the color of the player in order to identify them and communicate with them. Things such as "Pink, are you ready to gank?" or such. Using this mod in-game will eliminate that, as all colors will be different for every player. This is especially dangerous for any new players that may browse the forum and use this mod, as they wont know which are the original places for the original colors.

Really, I'm not sure I like this... but good work on making it happen anyways, I guess.

oh, this is true... perhaps colorblind people can use it conservatively. but the freedom still exists. long live freedom!

[Zaraki]

I certainly see your point, but I for one identify who to attack by hero rather than color. However, that won't help me if someone else uses this mod and say let's gank magenta.

[gwho1]

lets gank magenta!!!!

[Spiriax]

Thanks for this mod! Very cool! :)

I just did this:

Cold Colors (Legion) VS Warm Colors (Hellbourne):

http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2415/slass.png

[MaxGhost]

Your green on player 2 is a warm color. You need more blue to make it cold.

Your purple on player 10 is a cold color. You need to pump more red into it if you want it warm.

[Spiriax]

Your green on player 2 is a warm color. You need more blue to make it cold.

Your purple on player 10 is a cold color. You need to pump more red into it if you want it warm.

Doh. xD Having bright cold vs warm colors is pretty hard when you want to have a good balance and be able to differentiate the colors. I think I got to have some dark colors if it would work. :)

[F8]

I certainly see your point, but I for one identify who to attack by hero rather than color.
Imagine the chaos that will ensue when you're playing duplicate heroes. :)

[hsram]

With this mod? No.
Is that necessary?

you must not program using at least basic RTBs lol.

[Montis]

what is RTB? :X

btw: updated original post with v1.0 :-)
let me know if you find any issues

Changelog v0.95 to v1.0:
- added options to CC Panel
- added functionality for colors of pre-game lobby and hero pick screen
- added single color reset buttons
- added disabling of minimap button
- added (limited) positioning of minimap button

[Montis]

downloads are up again

[Warchamp7]

Can you make a way to change your own color? As in, no matter which slot you're in, you'll be that color.

[Montis]

uhm, probably yes but that could be a bit complicated to do.
I'd have to look into that, maybe tomorrow.

files for v1.0 up again. tell me if you find any bugs. :-)

[Zaraki]

Imagine the chaos that will ensue when you're playing duplicate heroes. :)

Lol, didn't even think about that. Never played the mode so never had to worry about it :p

[Sephinator]

Nice update Montis :D

[mpcvzero13]

Is it possible the CC Panel be moved to a different position? like on the left side maybe or another Row on the bottom.

I think Buddy Follow is in the same position as well. Haven't check if Encyclopedia got covered also

Dunno who among the 3 I'm gonna ask..

Haven't checked if Buddy Follow and Encyclopedia cover each other as well

I heard you got problems w/ Bard's UI CC panel as well..

I guess CC needs to be changed

[Montis]

I can try for the left side, but not today :-)

[Montis]

Can you make a way to change your own color? As in, no matter which slot you're in, you'll be that color.

does anyone know how to check what your own position / playernumber / slot is (or something similar)?
preferably by a command (i.e. Get...) or if that's not possible maybe by variable or by trigger?

[Montis]

okay I found a (messy) workaround for that and I even got it to work after a few hours of coding

it's strangely delayed though - probably would work better without that workaround, so I'm still searching for an answer for the above post :X

[Sephinator]

From the left.

Bard's Ui, Buddy Follow, Encyclopedia. those three works together, but your mod doesn't have any space there :/

Maybe you and bard can make this:

http://i48.tinypic.com/30cr6l3.jpg

Orange square: A button for making the red slide out, and when the red is fully "slided" out, the blue things will begin to slide out.

And the blue things are bard's + your C&C Config options. :)(If you only have one of the mods, only one blue thing will slide out.)

that would be cool :D

Or if the red thing is laying down and when you press it, it will slide up/right and expand in size. :)

OR

make something like 1 row of mod icons. When you click one, Options for the clicked mod appear on a window... something like that

hehe :D

Done! v1.1 released to first post.

Unfortunately, mediafire is down (again, tsk) so I had to upload it to my clan webspace... go easy on that guys :D

CC panel was moved to the left side of the screen and will remain there for the time being, despite the CC panel being a buggy mess (that's the dev's fault!).


Btw I'm still looking for an answer to this question:
does anyone know how to check what your own position / playernumber / slot is (or something similar)?
preferably by a command (i.e. Get...) or if that's not possible maybe by variable or by trigger? as that would save me quite a few lines of code (damn workarounds I have to take!).

[pieRRe]

I found myself wishing that I could change player colors quite a while ago. It's excellent that someone took the time to make such a mod. Thanks!

[Montis]

You'll probably laugh at me when I tell you that the coding for this mod took me like 16 hours or so in total and I probably won't ever use it myself.


Edit: mediafire up again, uploaded v1.1 there and updated first post

[Montis]

Mod v1.2 released and updated to first post.

If you find any issues, let me know because this will most likely be the last release of this mod if there aren't any blatant bugs left.
Feature requests will be considered if they're not "plx maek boxes whare i can input numrebs 4 teh win!?"

[Perseco]

Doesn't save the color configuration after you restart the game. Other than that, great mod.

[Montis]

that's strange, it should!

and it does for me. it resets the settings when updating to a new version, though.

[Perseco]

Well it doesn't even save at all for me.

1. Create Game
2. Change the colors via the icon at the top
3. Hit 'Close' when done.
Note: The colors show up.
4. Start the game, colors get reset... disband the game and create a new one, colors get reset...

Screens (before step 4 & after):

UPDATE: I completely reinstalled the addon and the colors do save when you advance beyond the lobby (Start Game). However, when you leave a game and join a new one, it resets to default.

Same thing happens to me.. Works for the game you set it for after it resets.

[Montis]

okay, what the hell!?
before you told me the steps it seemed to work fine and now it doesn't anymore.
the funny thing is: it resets for me to a different color setting than the standard...

haven't yet figured out why. but this bug will be fixed, although maybe not today - got stuff to do all afternoon.

[Montis]

okay I still haven't figured out the source of the bug but there's a workaround for now:
set your prefered settings in pregame lobby or ingame, then get the console up (CTRL+F8) and type quit to quit HoN. after that, your chosen settings will persist.

Thanks to Asdf for this catch.

[Perseco]

Confirmed, that works.

[Montis]

3 and a half hours in, still no fix :-( going to bed now, maybe I'll get enlightenment tomorrow

[OoGa`ChaKa]

Im curious cant this get expanded. To changing the legion Green and HEllbourne red. For my annoucner mod which makes legion Blue viai announcer and hellbourne red.
Just scurious others might wanna change it to

[Montis]

If I can get this sh** fixed, I might do that too.

[AtroCty]

Okay, first of all I have to say: AWESOME MOD! 5*

But, I have some requests that would be awesome if this mod have this:
- Custom Templates
- Working mini-Map-Pings for every colour (Including Black)
- toggling, if color changes in chat as well
Why? Right now I have my colours
a) My team in white
b) Enemy team in black
Whenever there is a special person, like an enemy carry or a mate that is needed in a teamfight, I give him mostly another color (in this case E.Carry in red, TF-Mate in yellow).

But it is annoying that you sometimes cant read whats writen in the chat because everything has the same color <.<

[Montis]

- custom templates should be no problem, I could make a few buttons "save this state" - "load this state", maybe even with small previews.
- minimap ping ... uh? I'll have to look into that
- chat color ... have to look into that too

but first and for the time only priority will be fixing the friggin saving of the colors!

[Minimix]

Wow, cheers for making this mod. I've totally forgot at my request for swaping pink with red color, and now I checked my topic and found this.
Great job.

[Montis]

finally got the stupid color saving bug fixed. also added auto-updating for the new mod manager (requires ModMan 1.2 now)

[mpcvzero13]

The minimap button position doesn't save its position. u need to right click the button in-game first before it will move to its saved position.

[Montis]

fixed. download in first post or updated via modman

[lXxSwerdxXl]

Um i downloaded this mod and when i use it i change the colors around and the lil boxes at the side that show an example are all white when i try to change colors they dont work. Help?

[Montis]

more info when reporting a bug, please. are you using the .honmod version or the .s2z version?
the latter is not up to date and could cause bugs like this.

also was this bug present before the recent HoN patch? or did you only try with this version?
I will update the .s2z version tonight (in about 6 hours).

[Montis]

updated the .s2z version for 0.1.66.1, download in first post
try it now Swerd

[Yurixy]

this looks very nice, i will test it!

[roflolha]

this is sweeet :D

[Taggsvamp]

Any way you can make so this will be moveable ingame because i use Mini UI and move my mini map and try to put stuff were the minimap were but can't because that little thing ingame kinda ruin the thing so plz do it :)

[Montis]

that's why I made an option to hide the minimap button.
just configure the colors pre-game and everything is fine. btw you can get the button back by using the mini-config in the C&C panel.

[NiggSmurf]

update for great justice

[Montis]

Didn't come around to it yet, as it requires some rewriting and rethinking. I hope I'll get to it tomorrow.

[Montis]

Should work now again. Download from first post or update through HoN ModMan. If you removed the minimap button through the options (the minimap button is the only access to the options panel in FE2 for now), check the known issues part of the first post.

[Montis]

Updated to 1.33, download in first post or through ModMan. Please tell me if you find any bugs.

[revan_xp]

Does it change only the lobby color or even the ingame colors?

[Montis]

both of course!

[KhamL]

Sorry, this is sort of a noob question. Can this mod be used to alternate "ally colors" on the mini map? Like.. in DotA, all allies are in white and opponent in red, etc.

[Montis]

There's already a standard UI button for that :)
I planned to implement an advanced feature of that in this mod but since I don't actually use this mod myself, implementation of that will probably be quite some time out.

[Manastrider]

This works with the newer versions, right?

[Montis]

Sure does, updated screenshot in first post to reflect this (sorry, was too lazy to do that before).

[NiGHTsC]

Works great in 1.0.0


Thank you.

[CapnKangaroo]

This mod needs more publicity

Bumping for --great-- justice

[True`Hero]

Updated version?

[Montis]

you could've gotten it per update through modman since retail, I was just too lazy to edit the thread :P

[DJDavyDave]

u have just won a day of INTERNETZ OWNAGE

[OoGa`ChaKa]

this still needs an update to allow changing of the mini maps Base colors I wanna change Legion to Blue. to go with my sound mod

[`SunTzu]

Bumping one of my favorite mods of all time :D

[NiGHTsC]

Montis, the Report icon on the top panel is stacked with "Logged In As" cause it's position is taken by your icon.

[Fligglebleh]

Great mod! One of my favorites, actually. I use it every day.
I do have one suggestion, though: Perhaps we could have the option of altering the color's names? Right now I have the pink slot set to red and when someone gets switched or whatnot it says the host has switched the pink slot with light blue. As you can see the colors don't match up to their names.

[Silv3ri]

Montis, the Report icon on the top panel is stacked with "Logged In As" cause it's position is taken by your icon.
I'm not sure, but if I understand you correctly, then I think your problem can be solved with my Hide Language Choice (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=124256#hide_language_choice) mod.

Yes you had it.

Not a big deal cause I can still click the Report icon, just want to point it out :D

Off-Topic: Love your mods Silv3ri :p

[`SunTzu]

any word on possible updates montis?

i'd love to see minimap pings and chat color stuff implemented.

also, it would be CRUCIAL if you could make the game ( for the player using the mod only ) change all instances of your hon name to whatever name you wanted, along with whatever color(s) you want.

maybe im crazy but.. i just think it would be awesome to see my name pop up in rainbow colors when i kill someone.

:P

Right now I have the pink slot set to red and when someone gets switched or whatnot it says the host has switched the pink slot with light blue.

I'm sorry, as I said multiple times already: I don't really use the mod myself, it's basically a "when I have too much free time and nothing else to do" mod. So it will probably take a (really) long time for any updates.
I read the thread (somewhat) regularly though and write most suggestion on the list of possible additions. Also, if a HoN update breaks something, I will fix it ASAP. I didn't see the overlapped Report A Player button as something broken, so I just went the lazy road and did nothing about it. If I work on this mod at any point, I will probably relocate the button or change the string "logged in as:" to something shorter.

That should probably be a standalone mod.

[Mazinkaiser]

Um... why? That's broken. A feature of the game doesn't work. That's kind of the definition of broken.

Fix it. :blac:

[NiGHTsC]

Actually, it's not "broken", you can still click it but it's overlapping with the "Logged As:" if you have Montis's Custom Color applied.

[AtroCty]

Bump for awesomenes!

[haschisch]

bump for implementation into hon. together with the feature to rename the player slots to something you like. :>

[Montis]

If you have problems with Overlapping Buttons/Text, you should try Silv3ri's Hide Language Choice (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=124256#hide_language_choice) Mod.

[`SunTzu]

That should probably be a standalone mod.

well.. your mod (which is one of my favorites btw) changes things that only the player using them can see. same with a mod that would change the name and color of the player, that only said player could see. i could see them being implemented into the same mod.

i do understand you are short on time tho :P

[NiGHTsC]

Color FTW!
2.0 fix please :)

[ArtOfDota]

Hi montis, can you please update the colorblind red/white mode for the mini map for the new 2.0 patch


I really really cant play without it. Thanks bro!

[Montis]

I'm aware, that the mod is kind of broken right now, but I'm busy today and tonight, so it will tomorrow evening (CET) at least until I can fix it, sorry guys. I'll get to it as soon as I can though.

[NiGHTsC]

Just tried it and it seems fine, my custom colors are all cool ;)

[Montis]

Uh... maybe ArtOfDota meant Picklefishs colorblind mod? Well I'll check my mod tonight anyway if anything got broken.

[Zesbeer]

any news as to if this mod still works? it would be nice to have player's names be there seat color again...

[Montis]

The mod works fine for me. I think ArtOfDota meant a different mod.

[freestyler7]

Hello. Can you improve the colors on minimap a bit?
In dota it was easy too distinct the colors on the minimap, in hon for some reason all dots look the same color to me. (and no i'm not colorblind)

You can try some stuff like removing the outer circles from the dots (green/red), maybe adding more contrast to the colors etc.

[Duran]

Nice mod, I can't enable the option to 'use own color' though. Is anyone having this problem or is it known? I'm able to edit each individual colour, just not use that certain option.

[ilia]

bump on this..
mod's almost perfect, i have been using it for several months now. still, invisible pings on the minimap are a little bit crippling. otoh it's much better than not being able to tell pink/lb/grey apart from each other and dg/brown from minimap terrain heh. but still >.>

any chance minimap pings will be fixed for this?

[_ShrooMZ_]

you say for the installation method you just "download the .s2z-File into the game's game/ folder" thats sounds easy enough except that there are no .s2z files in that download... not working

[_ShrooMZ_]

Don't have Chrome here.
guess FAQ is wrong then. or fixed?

Sorry, the s2z Version was removed some time ago as it's no longer supported. You have to use the HoN Modman. Updated first post to reflect this.

Can anyone give me details on the Minimap-Ping problem? I don't really use this mod myself, so I didn't encounter a problem with that.
Would also be nice for 2 people to volunteer with testing, I'll probably be online tonight at around 8, GMT+1.

[ilia]

i havent really tested it in detail but custom colored pings don't show up on the minimap
the 'ping' is still there (so you can press space to go where the minimap ping was) but the exclamation point + circle thing on minimap are not.
i can actually see default colored pings even with this mod, only the colors i've changed i can't see
8@gmt+1 is that like 1.5hours from now? i could help out for a bit

[Montis]

yeah in 1 hour from now

[Montis]

erm I just tested it and the custom colored pings worked for me!?!
so I'm not sure what gives

[Justango]

The only ping problem i had was when i made a player color black it wouldnt show on the minimap. although at this point ive only tested it in practice mode.

[Montis]

yes you're right, that was what actually happened :D so my mod is fine, can't fix that.

[Durandal_]

Can't seem to get the (override players color) to work, i click on the enable and nothing happens

[Montis]

you mean the "own color" part?
can you post a screenshot where you sit in the lobby in a slot and have the setup window open?

i wanna set a template for example always enemy=red and friend=white. yes i can make it now but it changes on everygame according to my side. so i need to change colors in every game. so is there a way to make it always enemy=red color or other color np. and friend= white? actually i like same color friends and same color enemies. i can do it now but i should fix the sides for every game. i hope u understand what i mean. Cant u add an option like this? or is there any option for this one?

[Zesbeer]

the only bug i have found with this mod is if you have the "enable own color" enabled and you disconnect and reconnect it wont overwrite your toon.

This is what I would really like to see as well. Manually changing friend and fore colors every game is quite a chore.

Does anyone know of any other mod that can achieve this? (That is, setting players colors to friend and foe, or at least having an easy toggle button on the minimap that can switch allies and enemies from red/blue to blue/red or something. Us red/green colorblind players would really appreciate it.

[Wiggy_boy]

this is nice, but are u capable of making a mod which makes u able to swap places with each other... for example... ingame u have

Player Myself
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5

or it's
Player Me
Player 1
Player 2
Player 4
Player 5

on the top of the screen, i think u get what i mean... but so i can modify, so i could have it

Player Me
Player 2
Player 5
Player 4
Player 3

if i'd like???

[BlakeDarko]

Hey,

i cant get the mod running. I have the lates modman etc, every other mod works fine. What am i doing wrong?

Looking for same thing too.

[complexxL9]

Where do I find any settings for this mod after installing it? How would I verify that it is installed at all?

[complexxL9]

Is this abandoned and no longer working?

[complexxL9]

Whatever, I want to play this and can't as it is now.

[Veldt]

use the old mod manager... if its not broken dont fix it

[complexxL9]

where is that old mod manager?

[Montis]

It also works with the new mod manager.
Also, this mod still works except the lobby button was gone.
This is now fixed!

And as I already wrote a few times: I most likely won't update the mod anymore until something really breaks. Meaning there probably won't be any new features.

If you're a mod developer, you're welcome to take over though. If you want to do that, PM me and we can clear any remaining questions or whatever.

[complexxL9]

I'd love to do that, but I have no knowledge of programming whatsoever. I was able to find the settings (accidentally) and its good enough for me atm. Heroes are still not distinguishable, but on minimap it looks great and its a lot of better then nothing :) I hope you will keep this mod alive as it's not playable with default hon colors for people like me.

[Montis]

try to update the mod, then you will have the button in the lobby back :)

[complexxL9]

You have my thanks!

[Bobopedic]

thanks for this mod, I really do appreciate it. it makes the game much easier to play for us colorblind players.

[MikCe]

Great mod!! if theres anything it needs for improvment, i would proabaly say keeping the team chat in'colored' mode because alot of players just say 'red/blue goback' or stuff

[Nuahs]

Help please...

Does this mod still work? if so then...

I'm not sure how to install this, it says use HonMod but theres no .honmod file in the download. I see a ui/montis file, mod.xml. icon.png and the changelog txt.

I've tried extracting it to different pathways but Modman doesnt pick it up at all.

[Nuahs]

Ok. nevermind anything I said. Downloading with firefox works fine...dumb me

[NakedChef]

Dont know if anyone has asked this but i love this mod and heropanels II but they conflict with one another can you fixs this issue or am I doomed to choose I know the creator of heropanels refuses to fixs this issue last i checked he said he wasnt fixing it, can anyone help me with this problem.

I think the correct usage in the console would be
set g_playerColors "#000000, #1CE6B9, #9000c0, #FFFC01, #FE8A0E, #E55BB0, #959697, #EBFF10, #106246, #8B4513"

[kadeve]

[Mazinkaiser]

[Beowulf]

Bumping 2 year old threads is okay...

More of only a "year" old thread.
