FAQ

❔ I like this mod. It is so silly.

Yeah, this mod is practically useless.
- It is inspired by Ghastrix's Energy Colorwheel!
- Good at solving puzzles? Need mad scientists' help at Where to add Shader for small laser shot?

❔ May I adapt the codes for my own mod?

Yes, the mod adopts Apache license v2.0 which enables freely use, modify, distribute, & even sell the mod.
You're encouraged to adopt same license for your mod but not obligated to do so.

❔ Found a common bug; when using 2 or more ships, colors cycle at random.

You might have also noticed that Cosmoteer only allow the player to view internal of single ship at anytime. The game's shader uses a global variable _uniformColor to get/set crew's uniform color of the ship that you're looking at. As a result, laser/beam color would change relative to the ship that you're looking at.

A workaround were to copy-&-paste crew uniform color to all ships ...lame.

That is awesome

I like this mod people can even be creative with their weapons now and, this mod is awesome because you can use the colored lasers instead of the vanilla ones to add more color to your ship!

I also like this mod, its certainly unique.

clojelo Does it shade the part too or just the shots?

      Bubbet

      Yes, a custom shader is applied to ship parts.
      Only red color bits are re-shaded.

      This mod is but an experiment with shaders.
      Feel free to use the collated shaders for your mod(s).

          clojelo Ah nifty. I might look at using that, for something somewhere. XD

                            MrLeftHand so how many colors are there

                            At least 28 x 28 x 28 = 224 ~= 16.7 mil

                                  I would love this to be a standard feature of Cosmoteer. To have unique weapin and engine colours in MP games would be awesome. Plus it would be almost a new tactic to through off your opponent with the garish colours.
