Paint Schemes and Decals

[That Spaceman Spiff Guy]

Is there something in the roadmap for this part of the game? I find that trying to be a purist, you can't really do that with what's provided. A full color palette is fine and all, but I think there should be a second one with more military-aligned colors than just the pre-selected colors below. Pre-selected is cool, but I would not stop there.

As for the decals, it would be handy to have a symmetrical tool to apply the decal on both sides simultaneously if you desired. On this front, I'm wondering if it would be better for those pre-select colors below the color palette to have both the color and the decals included. It's whatever.

More importantly, I wish there was a paint scheme and decal booklet or something in the game to look at and duplicate if you wanted to provided there are more military-aligned painting and decal tools available. Google's fine, but trying to duplicate something is not really straightforward currently. I feel like this part of the restoration is lacking with more accessible tools to restore your tank. Again, customization to do whatever is fine. But I imagine some of us would enjoy restoring a tank to some original scheme instead.

Edit: Also, it would be good to change the color of the camo. I really like that we can change its size, which kind of changes its random pattern.

1. We have few ideas about the colors, to add a input field where player could type either RGB color or HEX code
2. The symmetrical option is not possible with our construction of tanks. It would only work for Hull base and Turret base I think. I can try to enable it in my editor and check if it works ok, if it does, I can add a check mark in the paint room if player wants mirror decal
3. Paint schemes are planned, we just need to implement it. It would allow saving decal schemes, with colour and camo etc.
4. Changing camo colour - this one I don;t know if we can add, it depends on the texture itself, if it has the channels correctly configured. Few of our camos have the option for color of the tank to be visible, some not. The same goes for modded camos from the workshop. I will discuss this with our artists on how to do it.

Thanks for the feedback ;)
