New Colours

[Harky]

What colour would u like to be able to use in outpost 2?

[Freeza-CII]

Gray Eden Brown Plymouth

[Leviathan]

I wanna c em all

[Freeza-CII]

I have tryed white before and it didnt took to great

[Sirbomber]

I pick Silver, and Gold... More later.

[Hooman]

Yeah pink! Go pink!  (thumbsup)

Gotta love having pink as an option.  

[Sirbomber]

Pink already exists... I'd rather a REAL purple (not magenta, that's your pink).

[Mcshay]

It would be interesting to use the transparency color.

[Betaray]

stealth units, that would be cool lol

[Sirbomber]

I think people would rather have the allegedly unfair black.
How about puce?

[Hooman]

Yeah, transparency would be amusing, but not very fair.

Puce just isn't pink enough.    

[dm-horus]

A full color palette to select any color. What looks like crap to one person might look sexy to someone else. Plus there would be enough of a variety that ppl could choose and use a single color to their liking for their whole gaming career at opu. if you ever saw a screen cap with a pink plymouth, everyone would have a good idea of who it was (im not naming names ).

[Freeza-CII]

Yes but you still have to get it to work on the mini map

[CK9]

silver!

[Betaray]

you guys know that silver wont show up very well on eden units, and gold wont show very well with ply right?

[TRIX Rabbit]

how about

lemony yellow,
razzberry red,
and wildberry blue!

that would be tight

and black is cool too

239R, 66G, 31B, red-orange

[Sirbomber]

Silver on Eden is pretty cool.

[Betaray]

but, all their units and buildings are silver, wouldnt it just blend in? same with gold on ply?

[Sirbomber]

I guess it does sorta blend I little, but it still looks good. Can't get a pic of it though.

[Stormy]

I like Gold and Silver!

An RGB selection screen would be good, but we'd need the game to not let people be within X units in R, G, and B of each other. The units will look almost the same.

An RGB selection screen would be good, but we'd need the game to not let people be within X units in R, G, and B of each other. The units will look almost the same.

I think if the limit was to within 5 is bad than i think the code would be close to this in VB.net (I cant do Op2code. neither can i do 'within a certain range')

btnColor_Click...
Dim intPlrR As Integer = Val(Me.txtPlrRed.Text)
Dim intPlrB As Integer = Val(Me.txtPlrBlu.Text)
DIm intPlrG As Integer = Val(Me.txtPlrGrn.Text)
Dim intOpn1R As Integer = Val(Me.lblOp1Red.Text)
Dim intOpn1B As Integer = Val(Me.lblOp1Blu.Text)
Dim intOpn1G As Integer= Val(Me.lblOp1.Text)
'Repeat 4,5,6 for # of opponents

If intPlrR = intOpn1R - 5 And intPlrB = intOpn1B - 5 And intPlrG = intOpn1G -5 Then
       Me.lblClrChk.Text = "Too Close To Opponents Colour"
ElseIf intPlrR = intOpn1R +5 And intPlrB = intOpn1B + 5 And intPlrG = intOpn1G +5 Then
       Me.lblClrChk.Text = "Too Close To Opponents Colour"
'repeat for all values between 0 to 5 for all 8 opponents (if applyable)

is this right?

[Hooman]

Lol. You'd be better off using < or > instead of =. But yeah, you don't want colors too close together. Also, it depends partly on the color as to what is "too close". The eye is more sensitive to green than it is to red or blue. So green colors can be "closer" together and not be a problem, but the same distance for a red or blue color might not work so well. I kinda wonder if YUV might work better for distance here.

There is a Gray eden

[HaXtOr]

I want to see messed up unit colors.. like that nifty yellow green combo i found that one time but i lost the pic

[Hooman]

I'd actually like to see some color mixes. Not just different shades of the same color. (I might not like the mixes, but I'd like to see a few).
