[Mod] Paint roller [paint_roller]

[Krock]

Put the dye to use one slot on the right of the paint roller in your hud bar.
Punch wool or any of the supported nodes to give it a new color.

+ API

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

Register a single node:
paint_roller.register_one( node_name , dye_group , pack_name )
-> paint_roller.register_one("mymod:node_green", "excolor_green", "My new mod nodes")

Register a table of nodes:
paint_roller.register_table( data_table , pack_name )

Format of data_table: {
     {"mymod:node_white", "excolor_white"},
     {"mymod:node_black", "excolor_black"},
     {"mymod:node_brown", "unicolor_dark_orange"},
}

The dyes have special groups, insert an exact as possible group to your node when you have light and dark tone nodes. Use an unique string to describe your pack, otherwise another will be overwritten.

I like this one better than the spray booth mod. Nice going.

Great mod, nice that you don't have a separate slot for dye or recipe but just the default action bar.

It would be awesome if the tool changes the color, so the tool shows which color is selected.

This looks really cool! I noticed that you are checking the idx<7 to ensure it isn't past the end of the action bar. It was pointed out to me that some mods change the length of the default action bar. After some testing, I decided that checking the index wasn't really necessary. For BridgeTool I left it out, and I'll probably take it out of ExplorerTool on the next update. If you don't check the index, the worst thing that can happen is that the user puts the item in the very last action slot, and if they do so, the logic just wraps around and grabs whatever is on the first inventory square of the row below. Which is intuitive, even if not ideal. And that way, there is no problem with compatibility with any inventory mods that modify the width of the action bar.

Not very important, just an idea to consider. Looks like a GREAT mod, hope to play with it soon!

The

...has returned with a simple coloredwood support.

Hi! I happily can announce now the current development snapshot of Color Cubes has optional Paint Roller compatibility!

It took me a while to get the color names right; it seems many color names didn’t work as expected or worked at all … Maybe this is just me.

Thanks for adding support for this mod!
I know that problem, where it doesn't paint them correctly, cause for this is...

{"dark_green", "Dark green dye",{dye=1, basecolor_green=1,   excolor_green=1,     unicolor_dark_green=1}},

The paint roller does not know if it should take the "excolor_green" or "unicolor_dark_green" when using dark green dye. To solve this problem, you need to use the "unicolor" groups (if there are 2x green as example)

As this seems to be a very nice mod, I've added a version of it to my colormachine mod. The colormachine already is mostly about figuring out which block fits to which color, so it can use quite a lot of code that exists already.

As there are sometimes multiple possible ways of painting a block (coloredbricks, blox etc.), applying the same paint multiple times cycles through those options.

The paint roller in my colormachine mod was formed after Krocks idea here. It also shares texture, craft receipe and basic functionality, although its code is a bit diffrent.

Doesn’t that create an incompatibility between the Color Machine mod and this Paint roller mod?

That's right, it does. The colormachine mod contains a version of the paint roller. I first intended to change this mod here so that it may use the colormachines' functions, which would also have been possible, but in the end it seemed more plain to integrate the paint roller.
