Since this mod has been reported working in 1.6 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692

I’ll try to get it updated so that it at least doesn’t break in the settings menu anymore some time soon-ish, as well as the compatible version. I haven’t really been playing Rimworld recently though, so it probably won’t get more features from my end any time soon.

However, unless the Rimworld devs change how the lines are drawn (by changing the method signature, for example), this mod will keep working regardless of version warnings. This did happen in 1.3, so it’s possible.

If anybody wants to make a pull request to add additional lines it handles, please feel free!

Also, to clarify, it isn’t just changing things in the XML. It uses reflection to intercept calls to the method that draws the linkable lines and modifies the CIL bytecode to use a different version of that method that takes an additional argument, which is where we set the color.

I can confirm this is functional in 1.6 (lines are much thicker / brighter). However, the settings menu is broken (just throws errors and is blank).

Any plans to update to 1.6?

yeah settings with XML Extensions block everything as you can't close the settings for this mod...

it's work on 1.5
BUT dont go to this mod setting specialty with XML Extensions

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.5 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod

Works well, as this is just a simple XML mod that changes several digits

hey quick question, even tho this isn't 1.5 marked, does it work with 1.5? if so Mile made a mod that will fix it

1.5?

Hey, uh... Going to the mod's setting in the Mod Option Menu... completely prevent you from switching to any other mod, so you can no longer change the setting of any other mod.

No issues in 1.5 for me after brief testing.

1.5 please :)

Will you update it to 1.5 :)?

Hi! Thanks for the great mod! Would it be possible to have an option to make the lines drawn between linkable buildings draw over the buildings? Its almost impossible to see when the buildings are close to each other. Thanks!

Haven't yet -- I've been extremely busy with work. I haven't forgotten about it, though!

Did you get a chance to look at it?

I'll take a look and see what I can do. If that mod uses the same (e.g. vanilla) line-drawing methods, I don't think it would be too difficult. Thanks for the suggestion!

this is the only mod that doesnt seem to benifit from your new colored lines!!

Would be possible to get a patch for it if you have some free time I mean ? :D :D :D D :D

I can't understand github. ^_^

Make a pull request on github and I can integrate it. I'll need to set up the structure for the localization, though, first.

You don't need to translate yourself. I will make my own mod/translation. But I can also throw localization files to you, although I do not know which file sharing sites steam does not delete.

I'd certainly be willing to -- however I only speak English, so I'd need assistance with localization.

Can you add Translation Keyed?

@JSTM:

Without really looking into it, I suspect something similar could be done, but that's beyond the scope of what I want to do with this mod.

Do you think something similar could be done for the combat cooldown/warm-up animations?

Feel free to ignore this because I'm just basically begging for free mods.

Fantastic! Glad to hear!

Looks like that fixed it for me!

I pushed another update that seems to have fixed the error. Let me know if you're still having issues or if it's been resolved. Thanks!

I have an error upon launching the game:
"Error in Better Linkable Colors, assembly name: BetterLinkableColors, method: SettingsHelper:SliderLabeled, exception: System.MissingMethodException: UnityEngine.Rect Verse.Listing.GetRect(single)"

Good news! As far as I can tell, everything still works just fine. I only had to change the About.xml file to indicate that it's compatible with 1.4. Let me know if you run into any issues, though!

Okay! I'll see what I can do! I'm not going give a timeframe for when it'll be live because I don't want to make promises I can't keep, but unless things have REALLY changed behind the scenes, I don't think it should take too long. I'll post a comment or update if anything unexpected comes up that will make it take longer.

Also, thanks for the support, everyone. I honestly just made this for myself and threw it up on the Workshop because I figured I might as well. I never expected to get so many downloads!

Like others, also commenting to show support for an update. Thank you for even considering taking a look @drummeur

Yes, we need this mod!! It really does help, however small that seems! An update would very much be appreciated!

Yes please update, I really like this mod and don't ever play without it!

yeah I was using this cuz it was making things easy to see with colors lol

@Mr.SpacePenguin

I'll be honest, I haven't played RimWorld in months. If people are still actively using the mod, though, I'd be happy to take a look and see what needs to be changed for 1.4.

will this gate update for 1.4?

now we only need a mod that turns the color of medical beds and prison beds.
or removes color change all together allowing you to keep the original color.
i use dubs paint shop, and the beds changing to blue or yellow ruin the look of my base...
thanks for this mod regardless drummeur. found yours while looking for what i described above lol

@ODevil I'll need to look at the code to make sure, but assuming they're written the same way as other "line link" functions, it shouldn't be difficult.

I was thinking of the ones boosting the spot, but hurting it seems rather useful as well. So, both? If I dare make that request?

@ODevil I'm fairly sure I could add that. What exactly would you like to see? Links between buildings that boost or hurt meditation spot usefulness?

This is really nice, thank you.
One request tho, could make it so Meditation Spots also benefit from this? Would be neat!

Finally, I can see the damn links. Thank you lol

Update for 1.3 is out. Let me know if there are any issues!

Update: yeah, something breaks with 1.3. I'm looking into it.

@Shipidge: Yes. Honestly, I expect it will work just fine without any changes, but I will definitely update the compatibility list in the metadata. I will also want to see if there are any lines added by the new DLC that could benefit from being given the same treatment. First priority will be making sure that nothing is broken, however.

Will this be update for 1.3?

this is what i looking for.
thank you so much

Thank you so much! Small QOL fixes like this are amazing
