enhancement request: more colors (support for https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/unifieddyes)

[superfloh247]

Hi,

how can more colors be added to basic_colors?
eg. dye:turquoise or dye:medium_green

I think they come from the mod https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/unifieddyes

can you give me a hint how to support https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/unifieddyes and add all colors to clothing?

Hi.
Colors is defined in file colors_pictures.lua.

So, it should be enough to add some code like

if (minetest.get_modpath(unifieddyes)~=nil) then
   for _,unified_color in pairs(all_unified_colors) do
     basic_colors[color_key] = {
        color = S("Color name"),
        hex = "HEXCOLORCODE"
     }
  end
end

after basic_colors definition in colors_pictures.lua.

I managed to add unifieddyes basic colors to clothing, without replacing existing clothing colors.
But that's no even half the work, now I have to add wool crafting items, PNG graphics, ...

I have used for most items in clothing pictures colored by [multiply: texture attribute.
So it should be enough to set correct color codes to the table.
