Description
This mod allows you to create customized color sets for building, which can then be easily imported into another world.

🛠︰Color Sets ・────────・・・
To save or load a color set you have to type the listed commands below in your chat box.

Usage: /bc [command] [arguments]

Available commands:
Command
Arguments
Description
save
name
Saves a Color Set with the given name.
load
name
Loads a Color Set with the given name.
remove
name
Removes a Color Set with given name.
generate
generates a random color set. It is not saved, only the color palette is changed
list
Lists all available color sets.
help
Shows a help window with all commands

🛠︰Configs ・──────────・・・
This mod can create two config files.
[OLD can be removed] For servers a settings.xml file is created in your world storage.
Color sets are saved in ColorSets.xml in your global storage:
"%appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\ColorSets.xml"

🛠︰Known issues ・──────・・・
The UI has a problem when naming a color set. Pressing keys bound to game actions triggers those actions instead. For example, pressing 'P' closes the Color-picker Screen. While it's a bit annoying, pressing 'P' again allows you to continue. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this issue.

🛠︰Support ・──────────・・・

oh that cool, maybe the owner of the new plugin loader has loosened the restrictions. I should check it out, because in the old one there was a field for dependencies. When this is true in the new one, Rich Hud master could be loaded automatically.
i guess they fixed that then, because i am able to load Rich HUD Master that way without having to add it to my world.
server might be a different thing but i doubt that, otherwise we wouldnt be able to load it via Pulsar

I know I had to submit this mod. Rich HUD Master will not be allowed because there is some network code in it or so. This mod was only allowed because it works without Rich HUD Master
thats correct, it isnt available as a plugin (same with this mod)
but you can load approved mods client sided the same way you do with plugins.
so at the end you can make it work by also loading Rich HUD Master

@Katarina Thanks for the information. I wasn't familiar with Pulsar.
Unfortunately, Rich HUD Master isn't available as a plugin. Glad you found out.

@serialjwalker It is on my todo list to create short yt videos for my mods.
i thought this mod wasnt working anymore, loaded it via Pulsar (which is the new plugin loader for SE) and it didnt work..
duuuh of course it wont work if i dont add Rich HUD Master....
so yea, mod still works, make sure to load the dependency if using it client sided only.

found the issue, for some reason using the Sprays Mod the menu for selecting color sets stops showing up but the mod still works via chat commands.
