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

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:



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

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

Maybe, but I like my paint skills

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

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

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!).

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!

[[ShAn]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

[[ShAn]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!?"

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

[[ShAn]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.

[[ShAn]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.

[[ShAn]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.

[[ShAn]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

[[ShAn]Montis]

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

[[DjST]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 <.<

[[ShAn]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.

[[ShAn]Montis]

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