    The following is outdated. Please go to the new thread instead.

    Do you always want to play with the same colour? Do you always click and click and click and shoot right past your favourite colour? Then this is the mod for you. Upon selecting a slot in the lobby, it will automatically try to select your favourite primary and secondary colour.

    Your favourite colour can be configured under SETTINGS -> UI.

    Available in PAMM, but attached as well.
    Follow the code on GitHub.

    Version 1.0: Initial release
    Version 1.1: Added support for an alternative favourite colour.
    Version 1.2: Fixed the bug that StormingKiwi pointed out. When selecting a slot that already had your favourite colour, it would sometimes switch you to the alternative favourite colour.
    Version 1.3: Compatibility with build 62165.
    Version 1.3.1: Compatibility with build 62168.
    Version 1.3.2: Compatibility with build 62318.
    Version 1.4: Secondary colours are back!

    Note that secondary colours are invisible in the lobby. Install burntcustard's "Show Secondary Colour" mod as well for best results.

    Meh, it's not a very elegant mod. It just keeps yelling "NEXT!" at the server until it sets the right colour. :)
    I love the fact that raevn's settings manager is flexible enough to change dropboxes on the fly. Pretty neat.

    Great addition. Simple. But nice, since I always play Purple and Gold.

    You stole my colours.

    Monster.

    I hope you die a slow and painful death, to the AI while it is on zero economy.

    Then again, mine are yellow and light blue. Or light blue and yellow.

    Also, this is a beautiful mod and I love you.


    Is it possible to add a second favourite colour?

    And a third?

    And a plan D?

    And a plan E?

    (The great thing about the alphabet is it gives a lot of options for plans)

    Orange! I should probably make it so that it excludes orange for everybody but me. ;)

    Well, I love you too!

    Sure, it could be extended that way. I'll have a look. I'm not sure I want to extend it further than a second colour though, otherwise the settings menu is going to explode. :)

    There should be a field under SETTINGS -> UI. It should have a group called "Favourite colour" there, where you can set your primary and secondary colour. If it's not there, you might need to update to the latest version of raevn's Settings Manager mod.

    The only mod I consider mandatory in my game.

    I'm playing with a few now, but I can guarantee I won't be uninstalling this one.

    Bug report:

    If your primary colour is already your favorite primary colour, it will revert you to your secondary.

    Bug Report

    Hey, I've installed favourite colors through PAMM, but I've yet to get it to show up in the settings => UI menu. I've uninstalled all other mods except for settings manager and favourite color, but still no go. Thanks for your time in this matter.
