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

[[ShAn]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.


How it looks




red arrow indicates the button which opens the pre-game options panel


Download
.honmod v1.35 (this requires ModMan v1.2 or above, or the new Java Mod Manager)


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's Mod: 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


Changelog
v1.35 Bar fix (2011-08-28)
- fixed the lobby button to appear again
- added changelog.txt for the new Java Mod Manager

v1.34 Retail ready (2010-05-12)
- updated HoN Mod version string for retail

v1.33 there, I fixed it (2010-04-02)
- added a button for options on the system bar (usually visible pre-game, or with F6 in-game) so you can now again alter the colors in the game lobby and/or recover the minimap button without console use
- fixed + and - buttons (Thanks to Warchamp7 for telling me they didn't work)

v1.32 FE2 Update (2010-03-28)
- updated functionality for Frontend 2.0
- removed CC Panel options (duh!), as well as the options from game lobby and hero pick screen for now

v1.31 small fixes (2010-01-22)
- fixed minimap button incorrect behavior (didn't load position/visibility on start)
- removed "own color" option from CC Panel, hopefully further circumventing the notorious CC Panel bug

v1.3 watching the game, fixing a bug (2010-01-22)
- fixed the "I don't want to save the colors" bug
- added auto updating for HoNMod Manager, therefore requires ModMan v1.2 or above

v1.2 the probably final release (2010-01-08)
- added button (with options screen) to pre-game lobby and hero picking interfaces
- scrapped the player 1-10 color configuring (only!) from the CC panel to work around the stupid CC panel bug
- repositioned CC panel options again so they won't overlap with other stuff

v1.1 my color is my own, alone (2010-01-07)
- added functionality for own color which overwrites the color of the slot you take
- moved CC panel options to left side (bottom-ish)

v1.0 initial release (2010-01-05)
- added options to CC Panel
- added functionality for colors of pre-game lobby and hero pick screen
- added single color reset buttons with the default color displayed
- added disabling of minimap button
- added (limited) positioning of minimap button

v0.95 beta release (2009-12-31)
- button above minimap for enabling disabling this mod
- options window for customizing all player colors by RGB sliders


Known issues
- can't see minimap pings of black colored players

[Darkager]

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

[[ShAn]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.

[hsram]

With this mod? No.
Is that necessary?

you must not program using at least basic RTBs lol.

[[n0ob]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!!

[[S2]BlacRyu]

Love it, works great!

[Thageek]

This seems awsome i shall try it out atm

[[n0ob]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.

[[sSi]Ignorance]

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.

Yah...just gotta wait for the official version...

[[S2]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

[[ShAn]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? :-)

[[BBDS]Blam]

presets?

[[ShAn]Montis]

presets?

like what?

[[LC]Zejety]

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