LIDAR: More colors

Description
A good chunk of materials (such as metal or wood) do not have a custom scan color, which de-values exploration and thorough scanning. This mod fixes that by adding custom colors to them.

Completely identical to the 28th May 2022 version of LIDAR, except the extra colors.

The default scanner color (that weird gold) can be changed via the LIDAR_ScanRGB command (for example, LIDAR_ScanRGB 255 25 255).
You can get RGB color codes here: https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html
You can disable doors being green with this command: LIDAR_color_interactables 0

A gmod update broke the newest version of this mod so I had to revert it. The following commands are not present.
You can also switch to color based on distance when shot!
Use LIDAR_color_based_on_distance 1
You can also change the strength by using LIDAR_color_based_on_distance_modifier


Maps in the screenshots:
1: Frozen Winter (the first one as sandbox version)
2: cs_assault
3: cs_office
4: cs_italy
5: de_dust2
After that, Frozen Winter again
Last few screenshots are abandoned combine bunker, last one gm_construct

Opposite of my One color mod.

Experience weird bugs? Doesn't work?
Unfortunately, I cannot fix any bugs that may occur for you, however the gamemode works fine for the majority of players.
The most frequent issue is playing on Chromium or any other non-main branch.
Make sure you disable all other addons (as they mess with LIDAR) including other LIDAR addons (as they often override eachother). If it still doesn't work, disable any addons that you may have installed manually by putting them into the addons folder (if you don't know what that means, then you don't have any there).

If even that does not work, I cannot help you further, and I'm really sorry for that. I do not understand the code well enough to make any big changes.

Want Red Man gone, but keep the new colors?
Check this crossover mod!

It's good, source engine code is a mess when you do any change lmao!

Hey! So what you're saying is that saves in this gamemode don't load properly, but others do? Maybe that's just a LIDAR thing, sorry about that

Hey so, normally I can get this to work in saves.
But when now when I load saves with this on, it doesn't work?
Is this a issue with a Gmod update? Or something I'm just not understanding?

Personally, I think this is the definitive LIDAR experience. The expanded colors work well to aid awareness, but it's still creepy and unsettling as hell. I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to drop Red Man and download the "crossover" mod, but as an absolute lightweight when it comes to spooky stuff, I still think you should try this version of LIDAR, it's the total package.

The command was recently removed as Gmod refused to load the mod

It doesn't recognise the change_color_based_on_distance commands
