View source for Manual:color.lua

In console mode all game objects are associated with a color. While these are automatically set on a per-object basis there is a configuration file--colors.lua--which allows you to customize them to your own preferences.

== Color Definitions ==
{{Template:Color}}
{{Template:Special_Color}}

More information on colors can be found at [[Modding:Color]]

== Customizing colors ==
To customize an object you will need that object's [[Modding:sID|id]] or color_id. Once you have the id add it to the colors.lua file!
<source lang="lua">
Colors = {
	--This is a cell. Cells have both a light color (the cell is visible)
	--and a dark color (the cell is out of vision).
	--For cells the proper syntax is [id]_dark = COLOR and [id]_light = COLOR
	floor_dark  = GREEN,
	floor_light = BLUE,

	--These are items and beings.
	--The proper syntax for non-cells is [id] = COLOR
	former = RED,
	ammo = YELLOW,

	--This is a lava lever. Perhaps you think you can distinguish
	-- between different lever types by color. Think again!
	lever_flood_lava = RED, --Doesn't work!
	lever = RED, --Makes ALL levers red
}
