"Better Ship and Paint Colors"
Changed ships, bioships, and custom paint palettes
Please note that this mod will change the colors of your vanilla ships (as well as ships used with the previous mod Better Ship Colors).
I've made a lot of significant recent changes to the mod Better Ship Colors, so I figured it was about time I call it something new. True Color features an entirely new color palette for standard ships, living ships, freighters, and custom paints (e.g. player, vehicles, freighter, and pet accessories).
I've also included a lite, altered version of True Royal as an add-on, so your royal exotic ships can match the aesthetic of True Color even more closely (this version does not add any new trim colors).
Here's a visual on how this mod changes the vanilla game:
**Freighter accents (painted stripes) have also been made entirely black & white to complement the main body colors.**
**ONLY WITH ROYALS ADD-ON**
TMC;DL (too many colors; didn't look): • Neutral colors have a higher chance of spawning (especially in freighters) • Colors have bolder tones and are generally darker in shade, plus palettes are more consistent • For those who find my standard colors too harsh, I've made a "pastel" version that's a bit dimmer and less saturated • Exotic ship colors can share a similar palette with the Royals Add-on • Most importantly of course, blacks are now TRUE blacks across the board
This mod alters the files "METADATA\SIMULATION\SOLARSYSTEM\COLOURS\BaseColourPalettes.mbin" and "METADATA\GAMESTATE\PLAYERDATA\CustomisationColourPalettes.mbin"
An LUA is in the works, but it may take time as I'm not adept with them.
