📋 About This Mod
Colorful Signs
Allow colors in signs and set default color to white.
This mod allows you yo use the Unity Enriched Text functionality, which works with the following tags:
| Tag | Effect |
| -------------------------: | :----- |
| <b>b</b> | Bold |
| <i>i</i> | Italic |
| <size=50>s</size> | Size |
| <color=#ff0000ff>c</color> | Color |
Try writing this lines in any sign:
<color=#ff0000><b>Hello</b> <i>World!</i></color>
<color=#ff0000>Colorful</color> <size=2. 6>indeed!</size>
Color Library
This functionality allows you to use specific colors without having to remember their hexadecimal value.
Inside the plugin folder there is now a file called "color_library.json". You will see something like:
"red": "#a12d2d",
"blue": "#292fcf"
This will turn "<color=red>" to "<color=#a12d2d>" when inputting a sign text value, effectively changing its color. You can edit the Json to have your own color palette!
When editing the Json:
-
[]Remember that the last element doesn't have a comma at the end
[
]Don't use special characters, try to stick to alphanumerical values.Bugs? Report them here.
