How to select a new colorset?

[Platypi]

Basically, what I want to do is select a new colorset when I host a server. I understand this can be done by installing RTB, but I don't want to rely on an discontinued and probably doomed-to-be-broken add-on. I've tried looking at Zeblote's colorset editor, but I believe it can only set the colorset for a singleplayer game. How do I select a new colorset for my server without the aid of RTB? If I need to write a script to accomplish this, that'd be fine as long as someone (or someones) can direct me in what to do.

The colorset manager portion of RTB is not broken. If you really wanted to, you could probably pull the code out and make a standalone add-on. You could replace the default colorset.txt file and make it read-only, but that would be a much worse solution than just installing RTB.

There is a way to do it without any mods.

Open the Colorset_Whatever.zip file, and copy out the colorset.txt file to your desktop or something
Go into Blockland/Config/Server
Copy the colorset.txt file into there, and overwrite the existing one.
Your colorset has been changed.

I didn't say it was broken, I said doomed-to-be, as in it will probably, eventually, stop working because nobodies working on it (as far as I know.) I may screw around with the code, but although I have scripting experience, TorqueScript is almost completely new to me. But I can probably decipher enough of it to get along. In the meantime, however, I'll just replace colorset.txt.

Alright, I'll have top try that when I get home. I was looking in that folder earlier, and I didn't see an existing closet.txt. Does it just use the default colorset unless a colorset.txt exists?

Well, looks like it worked fine. Thanks guys!
