Modding:Colors & Object Rendering

Overview

Colors are defined in display.text.

Each color is defined by a single letter. &<code> means to set the foreground color, ^<code> means to set the background color.

Only the preset letter codes are allowed, adding new colors isn't totally trivial at the moment.

Render Part

ColorString contains the foreground and background string for the ascii and tiles.

DetailColor changes the "third" color used only for tiles, not the ascii.

So ColorString="&M^g" would be foreground bright magenta with a background color of gree.

TileColor overrides ColorString when tiles are being used.

Detail color takes just a single character.

If you want to color the display name, you enter color codes directly in the display name itself, for example the beaded bracelet:

<part Name="Render" DisplayName="&amp;amp;Cb&amp;amp;Be&amp;amp;ba&amp;amp;cd&amp;amp;Ce&amp;amp;Bd&amp;amp;y bracelet" ColorString="&amp;amp;C"></part>
