[REL] Favourite Colour v1.4 [63180]

Oh, goodie! The handlers have been fixed. I no longer need to shadow so this mod is less prone to breaking you PA now. Also I was that @burntcustard claims that the secondary colours are back. Neat! I need to build that in again.

This mod is very stubborn! If I try to change my color in the lobby, the mod takes over and puts it back t whatever it likes best. This can be a problem when both the first and second choices are already taken.

Oh? If both the colours are taken, it shouldn't even try to do anything at all. I did build in an infinite-loop-prevention check, so if you change your colour 50 times, the mod will just give up. (Although your fellow players in the lobby will be wondering what that heck you are doing )

The previous pre-gamma version of my mod was able to detect when the user itself would change the colour and stop interfering. It did that by hijacking the go-to-next-colour command, but they put that function in a new viewmodel inside a new viewmodel inside the main viewmodel. I'll find a way though.

Favourite secondary colours are back!

Also, I made the mod less stubborn, @cptconundrum.

This mod actually only works for player 1's color. I'm only just noticing it now.

awwwwwwwww

Doh! I tested it briefly in FFA's it seemed to work fine, or so I thought. I guess I just got 'lucky' and already got my favourite colour on joining. Looking at my code, it should certainly account for it. Oh well, I'll try it out when I'm home again.

Testing is harder ever since AI's don't pick colours anymore.

Nope. I lied entirely. Posted in the wrong thread. I meant to post in player chat colors... sorry.

Why you...!

Still going strong in build 63180.

May be partially broken (due to rSettingsManager ?), as seen in other topic here and there

Oh, probably. It does rely on that. I'll have a look and try to fix it. Thanks!

There's a new settings manager that you can switch it too: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/wip-more-settings-manager.61034

Yeah, I noticed that one. I may just follow @burntcustard's example though and just use the built-in "api.settings". I'll see.

The only issue is the settings types and such are really limited in the default API. That mod extends it with more options.

Latest stable build of the game and I can't get colors to save and when I select secondary colors the only option is random.

Yeah, Fr33Lancer reported that too (see above). I still need to fix it though.

Ok! Looking forward to a fix.

Ok, fixed now! And available on PAMM. I also made a new thread for it here.

Awesome!!!!
