Colorset System Remake

[Tezuni 2.0]

These options above the basic (default) colorset:

Basic Colorset || Advanced Colorset


The basic colorset would be enabled by default, and clicking the advanced colorset would switch to the user's custom made colorset.  
In-game creation of the custom colorset could consist of tools like these on a gui:

Add this: We can save the colors we made with this into our colorset

saving is assumed, yes.  would be nice if there were created files/tabs to choose from too

This is pretty much my suggestion yes, didn't see that topic.  But it would be nice if the colorset could be switched in-game without a restart, maybe just a clearing of all bricks.

Or no color limit at all.

I don't know why we can't do this...

%brick.setColor("R B G A");

I was actually working on that for a new version of the colorset editor, but didn't get to finish it.

%brick.setColor("R B G A");

This could be a good idea

Because someone though that sending a 1 byte color id for every brick is better than sending a 4 byte rgb color.

and this would add up with hundreds of thousands of bricks

although you could probably make some kind of optimisation to it

or you could have the option to save in two different formats. bls or blsc. bls is the current one we have now. blsc could be a format that has custom colors as advanced bot said, but would be a much larger file as zeblote said.

you still have to send it to the clients???

.bls format stores the colourset with it anyway

Then add an advice before joining a server if you have .blsc deactivated in options:
"This server uses .blsc system, are you sure you wanna join?"

The problem isn't file size.

The problem is ghosting time and memory usage.
