[REL] Planet Name Themes

Could you add a UI option do make your own theme? I can go into the mod files and make my own, but it might be easier for most people to have a UI that does that. Not to mention it would look cooler that way.

Other than that, keep up the good work, loving the mod!

I made it as easy as I could to allow for new themes, but only through creating new theme files. Javascript doesn't have permission to write new files to the filesystem, so I would have to keep themes in local storage if I wanted them to be editable. The reason I went with doing it this way is because I wanted to make the theme files easy to share, but not necessarily as easy to create.

If you make a new theme, be sure to post it here! Making them takes a lot of time and it would be a waste if only you got to use it. I can add it to PAMM for everyone! Remember too that you unfortunately have to make new entries in modinfo.json in order for it to see your new theme.

All right, that's fine! thanks for the fast answer. Was gonna make a theme your way any way, but was wondering if it was possible.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

lol, ok, i'm ashamed of myself for having to do this, but here we go:

"Directions unclear, got d**** stuck in ceiling fan"

But seriously, I done broke it.

Haha, what broke? If I did my job right (no promises), it should be simple enough. If you ever seriously break a mod, PAMM can uninstall and reinstall.

I just have no idea how to add the mod to the modinfo.json file. I opened it with word, turned this:

Code:

    "settings": [
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/cPlanetNameThemes.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/legacy.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/stargate.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_trek.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_wars.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/settings.js"
    ],
    "system_editor": [
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/cPlanetNameThemes.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/system_editor.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/legacy.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/stargate.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_trek.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_wars.js"
    ],
    "new_game": [
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/cPlanetNameThemes.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/new_game.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/legacy.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/stargate.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_trek.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_wars.js"

into this:

Code:

    "settings": [
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/cPlanetNameThemes.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/legacy.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/stargate.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_trek.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_wars.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/settings.js"
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/Blargh.js"
    ],
    "system_editor": [
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/cPlanetNameThemes.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/system_editor.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/legacy.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/stargate.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_trek.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_wars.js"
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/Blargh.js"
    ],
    "new_game": [
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/cPlanetNameThemes.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/new_game.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/legacy.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/stargate.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_trek.js",
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/star_wars.js"
        "coui://ui/mods/cPlanetNameThemes/themes/Blargh.js"

And now I don't see the themes in my options at all.

I should really learn how to code before messing with this stuff. Those classes I took years ago just aren't that easy to remember...

Second to last line in each of those sections needs to end in a comma.

And there's no better way to learn how to code than by playing with someone else's code and breaking it a lot until you see how it works.

There is also the free book posted here which is written for people new to JavaScript but not completely new to programming. I have been writing JavaScript for years and I still find it useful though.

Why thank you! Now I wish unreal script had a book like that.

Fixed it! Actually I just added a hack that finds the div that the name is supposed to go in and fills it with the name. It bypasses knockout, but it won't matter to most people. I might just have to update this mod every time uber changes that page.

That works!

Anyone know why this mod shows up halfway down the list in PAMM even when it was just updated?

Check your date ? It should be yyyy/mm/dd

modinfo.json:

Code:

"date": "2014/02/02",

I love the icon you made for this mod!

Seems fine to me with the Linux version of PAMM. Are you sure you are sorting by "last updated"?
Also, there are five mods that have 2014/02/02, so you should be somewhere among the first five.

Just verified that it still works in v61250. I had a biome name for desert that was mapped to earth planets of a certain temperature, but it looks like it is picking up the new Desert biome and going with that. I love when things just work!

Works in Gamma v.62037

Seems broken on v.62857. I'm getting the following exceptions e.g. when trying to add a slot to a team:

Code:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'biome' of undefined
getBiome
getPlanetNames
cPlanetNameThemes.getPlanetName
model.loadRandomSystem
NewGameViewModel.self.regenSystem new_game.js:690
