Author Topic: Universal Colorset  (Read 1950 times)

    I'm sure other people have had this idea, and I'm just wondering if it's possible. I don't really consider this a request, but I figure it belongs here just to discuss.
A colorset that is universal, meaning it has the whole spectrum of colors that is adjustable, but isn't limited to 64 colors. For example, if I were to place a ghost brick, I could set it to whatever color I wanted, and it would save as that specific color. You could save the colors as a set as well, but for the most part, there would be no limit. Get what I mean?

This seems like a very interesting idea.


Like when a rainbow is shown and you drag a circle to select a color?

Would be extremely hard to plant bricks as the same color

Someone told me before you can only have 64 colors, that's just how it works or something.

That's why like on paint for example, you can set favorites as a set, but limitless.

so uhh you want more then 64 colors?

this is cool!
im tired of switching colorsets.

but like brighter dark said, it would be hard to have the same color.

a tree with slightly different color shades of green would look epic tho.

if you can read.

So the colorset box would be like "Recents" or something?
This would be amazing.

it is how it works, because of the very weird way that badspot did it
I don't know why he would make it work like that but he did
it's dumb imo

like, we don't have to have 64 different datablocks for every single brick and vehicle. so... why not just make the paint can and all of its stuff work that way? with an overlay of that color, for example
and that's obviously possible as well

Each color adds a few datablocks so that we can have slightly fancy effects. It's set at sixty-four to keep you from using all of your datablock quotient on colors.

I'd rather forgo the effects, personally.

Yes. Colors = datablocks. But, 128 wouldn't be bad except for how much space the paint gui would take up.
