Onimods - Colored Fire

Description

Onimods - Colored Fire adds variant buildings with colorable exposed fires, like torches, campfires and braziers. The color of the flame can be selected via a color picker, copied and pasted just as with electric lamps. About 1.6 game update: I'm in the process of adjusting all my mods to version 1.6, the updated mods will likely be uploaded only after game version 1.6 goes live (along with the new DLC), as I'm using this opportunity to apply some potentially save breaking mod changes that were on hold for some time.

Features

New Buildings: ‘Colored Torch’, 'Colored Wall Torch', ‘Colored Campfire’, ‘Colored Darktorch’, ‘Colored Fungus Darktorch’, ‘Colored Brazier’ and ‘Colored Darklight Brazier’. All added buildings can be identified on the build menu by the small colored flame icon on the top-right. Colored Fires: All added buildings are built with the colored fire, on the same color of their normal versions, that can be changed with controls similar to the ones used on electrical lamps. Inverse Fire: A toggle that makes the inner part of the flames darker instead of lighter, purely cosmetic effect. Royalty DLC support: Colored Braziers counts for royal titles ‘number of lit braziers’ rooms demand. Ideology DLC Support: Darklight color can be selected on the color picker, or via an added control (that toggles between the default orange color and the default blueish darklight color). Colored Torches and Colored Wall Torches share styles with their normal versions.

Mod Settings

Toggles to enable the ‘RGB Cycle’ mode for the fire color. Unlock 2 extra control toggles, one that activates the color cycle just on the fire visual effect, and another, ‘RGB Ambient Color’ mode, that also continually changes the surrounding light color. The ‘RGB Ambient Color’ mode has a heavy performance impact, use with caution!

Mod compatibility

In theory, it shouldn’t have any hard incompatibilities, but drop a message if you find any odd behavior, along with the Hugslib exported error log link (Ctrl + F12), use the "Standalone Log Tool" version if the original one is not working.

FAQ

Q: How does it affect performance? A: It shouldn’t have any greater impact than normal torches and braziers already have in-game, as in having a lot of them around does eat some performance, but do comment if you find any noticeable impact. That does not apply if you turn on the ‘RGB Ambient Color’ mode on something, that one does hit performance heavily, I split it from the toggle of just making the flame go color-wild for a reason! Q: Can you add support for XYZ mod? A: If you find any mod that makes sense trying to add a ‘colored fire’ building variant, or that adds new styles for one of the variants base buildings (most likely torches or braziers), do leave a comment with a link to said mod and I’ll try take a look!
