Repaint 1.7.4

Description


A fork of TPB's Painter mod, updated to work with Harmony 2, fix bugs, and add extra features. 100% backwards-compatible with the original.

New in 1.7:
  • Add vanilla highway texture replacement option
  • Add option to colorize all elevations of the selected network
New in 1.6:
  • Add option to disable LOD colorization (to reduce peak memory use if memory is tight).
New in 1.5:
  • Add tool (default Ctrl-Alt-C) to color networks, supporting roads, paths, and railways. Note that the network will need to support colorization for this to work (for example, most railways don't).
New in 1.4:
  • Overhaul handling of LOD colorization; now compatible with Loading Screen Mod 'Share Materials' option (no more corrupted LODs).

What does it do?
Change building colors
This mod allows you to change the colors of buildings live in-game.

Which parts of the building change color is determined by the asset's creator using a color map. If the asset creator hasn't provided one for that asset, the entire building's color will be changed (attached props are not affected). A 'colorize all' option is also provided to change the entire building's color even where the asset creator hasprovided a color map.

Colorization is also useful for fixing buildings where the asset creator has used colors that are too bright for the game. You can use this mod to 'dull down' the colors (by selecting a shade of grey as the color overlay) to fix that issue.

Use the copy-and-paste feature to make things easier if you have multiple buildings that you want to fix.

NOTE Colorization requires extra memory at game load. If you're very tight on memory, you'll most likely want to use the 'disable LOD colorization' option.

Change network colors
Roads, paths and rail networks are supported, provided they have a color map (most rail networks don't, but some do). This ability will instantly affect all segments and nodes of the selected network, so you don't have to tediously manually repaint everything (if you do want to color segements individually, use the Network Skins mod).

As with buildings, network color changes can be used to lighten or darken the network's default colors.

If a network doesn't have a color map, it can't be colored. There's nothing this mod can do about it. Some individual networks may also have specific issues, such as different color intensities on nodes/segments (e.g. vanilla highways).

For vanilla highways, you can activate the mod's option to replace the vanilla highway textures with more color-friendly textures (see the mod's options panel) - this fixes the issue of different node and segment color intensities for those networks.



How to use it
A color field is added to the top-right of each building's info panel; click on that to open the color picker to choose a replacement color. Each individual building can be colored differently (even buildings of the same type)!

At the bottom of the color picker are three buttons - 'copy' and 'paste' can be used to copy the exact same color between buildings. 'Erase' restores the building's color to the default.

To color networks, select the Repaint network coloring tool from the UUI menu or press the hodtkey (default is Ctrl-Alt-C), and then click on the target network to bring up the color panel. As with buildings, you can copy and past colors across networks too.



Loading Screen Mod and LODs
Earlier versions of this mod (and the original Painter) had an issue when using the Loading Screen Mod's "share materials" option; using that option in conjuntion with the "Colorize" option could cause LOD texture corruption (due to the way that the Loading Screen Mod''s material sharing overrode the game's default behavior).

Version 1.4 of this mod introduced a new method for LOD colorization that works around the Loading Screen Mod''s behaviour; LOD colorization is now fully compatible with the Loading Screen Mod's "share materials" option.

@Fox122 -- Use the Prop Painter Revisited mod.
Fox122 Feb 26 @ 2:19pm 
is there a way to do props? I remember being able to but can't seem to now

@Wijnand1985 Any Network Skins settings will override anything you do with Repaint; the solution would be to remove any Network Skins settings for the affected segments.

Hello, when i start a new map and i use repaint to change the color of all roads, and then place a new road with network skins active, that road has a color that repaint can't produce. Maybe it has to do with the map theme? Could anyone say if it is possible to apply your favorite network skin to all existing roads in a map? That would be the best solution i think.

@algernon Apologies for the delayed response, yes if I reset the network skin settings for the specific road, it works!
algernon  [author] Oct 25, 2023 @ 4:13pm 
@Stuy It is most likely that you've got Network Skins settings for the segments of that road. If you temporarily remove Network Skins, does recoloring work properly?
Stuy Oct 25, 2023 @ 2:05pm 
Yes I just double checked, it is the "Six lane road with decorative grass", it's a vanilla road but I guess it does not work? It colors the intersection, but just not the road. It works for other roads though.

@algernon I forgot to mention I do have Network Skins too since I didn't see it said it was incompatible.

It happens for 6 lane roads, IIRC these were ones from the Mass Transit DLC. If I click the paint brush icon then select a node, that specific road won't change color, but an entirely different road/network changes color.

@Stuy That shouldn't be happening, no. Is it only a specific road that does this?
Stuy Oct 25, 2023 @ 1:45am 
I'm getting an issue where when I select a road, it is changing the color of an entirely different road/network. Am I missing something?
