I'm making a map right now and I want to include bonus colors that are exactly the same as the player colors. Which colors are the same as the player colors.

Look at a 24 FFA. That shows all the colors.

I think now it is an update what makes darker the bonus color if that the same as the player colors.

I actually think this is a good idea. When I have a bonus coloured the same as my player colour, it is quite annoying to see the connections between territories in that bonus. If the borders are darker or shaded or something this problem would be solved.

The bonus borders are displayed slightly lighter when the territory is filled with the same colour as the bonus' colour. That includes players, but also when selecting a blue-bonus-territory on the map preview.

Oh, a few more colors that probably matter.

Territory Selection Color: 00AA00
Map Preview Selection: Same as Blue (0000FF)
Map Preview Bordering: Same as Yellow (FFFF00)
Neutral: CCCCCC

I'm just curious why you'd want them to exactly match. As a novice map maker myself, just wondering if I am missing a good idea. It would seem to me that this would make things harder to see.

If a border color matches a player's color exactly, the bonus color will become a bit lighter.

He needs the exact colors, as Warlight can tell the difference between say, 0000FF (Blue) and 0001FF, while it'd be really hard for a player to distinguish them. Warlight would brighten the former, but wouldn't brighten the latter.

How about putting up a feature request (read: a UserVoice suggestion) to make it a little less strict and also change bonus colours when they are very close (but not equal) to an army colour?

I don't think a uservoice suggestion is necessary as long as map makers have access to Bakapon's list. I'm going to put the list on the wiki ( http://wiki.warlight.net ) so that it is easier for everyone to find.

I added the clause at the end of the section "Defining Bonuses".
http://wiki.warlight.net/index.php/Entering_map_details#Defining_Bonuses


If a player controls a territory that has the exact same color as the player's color, the territory's outline will appear lighter. This is so the player can easily tell which territories connect. The following is a list of the HTML format for each of the player colors:

  • Blue: 0000FF
  • Purple: 59009D
  • Orange: FF7D00
  • Gray: 606060
  • Hot Pink: FF697A
  • Sea Green: 00FF8C
  • Teal: 009B9D
  • Dark Magenta: AC0059
  • Yellow: FFFF00

Fizzer deleted it. He said: This page is meant to be a tutorial for how to use the map designer. I don't think listing all of the player-controllable colors is relevant here, but perhaps a dedicated page "Player-controllable colors" would be better.

The Yellow Team

Report
When I made a map, there was a preset list of colours to choose from for the bonuses. It was a while ago now and I can't remember exactly but I presumed they would already be the same shade as the player colours.

I don't recall every player colour being represented but are at least the simple colours (red, blue, green, yellow, orange etc) the same shade as the player colours? And if not, why not?

Perhaps the list could have all 24 player colours by default, in the exact same shade, to ensure the lightening happens?

People could customise them if they want, but the defaults should be the same.

Apologies if this is the case now - as I said, it was a while ago that I made my map. And even then, for stylistic purposes, I only used three bonus colours.

I never used the map designer, so here's three possibilities:

  • The Yellow Team is right, there is a quick select, it has the 24 player colours and nothing else. In that case the list of colours is largely superfluous.
    Nothing has to be done.
  • There is a quick select, but it's missing some colours and/or some of the colours are "wrong" (very close but not identical to a player colour).
    My suggestion would be to ask Fizzer to change the presets to the 24 player colours (a UserVoice is probably not even necessary for that??).
  • There are no presets, or they barely correspond to the player colours.
    It's probably easiest to make a Wiki page with JAM's list of all the correct value (and I suggest also including the following link: http://blog.warlight.net/index.php/2012/01/warlight-update-1-10/ ) and put a note in the Entering Map Details page which points to the list.

That looks like Fizzer simply used a standard colour picker... That means it's impossible for me to guess how much work it would be to change, but adding 24 additional colours might be possible. If done on the right there's even room for the text "Player colours", potentially hyperlinked to an explanation why you would want to choose exactly those colours.

I did a bit of copy-paste editing in Paint and came up with this, I even misspelled "colours" to better fit in with the rest of the page. ;)



Would this be a correct, complete solution for the issue?
