Painter

This mod adds a Color Field button to the Building Info Panel.

Click this button and use the Color Picker to change the building's color.

Buttons to Copy, Paste, or Erase are provided.

Options to 'Colorize' whole building or 'Invert' the colored parts are also provided. Game restart required for these last two to take effect.



NOTES:

1. The Color Picker is accessed through the Building Info Panel that appears when you click on a building, by clicking on the little square color on the top right. (See images)
   
2. This works on all buildings except Match Day stadiums and Festival buildings (These don't change color so no use).
   
3. Changes are saved in the savegame but the save can still be loaded without the mod.
   
4. Each building can have its own color. You can have different colors even if its the same asset, unlike other mods like Customize It!, Prop It Up, etc.
   
5. The parts of a building that change color are defined using a special color map when the asset is created, which means only some parts of the building will change color, depending on the whims of the person who created the building. Some buildings are colored on the roof, others the walls, others the entire structure. For example, in the second image above, you can see only the roofs of the houses are colored.
   
6. If a building doesn't change color when you use the Color Picker, it means the asset was not made with a color map. (New as of May 2) You can now select Colorize checkbox, then restart the game and the building will have a color map created for it.

NB: This mod could have been a part of Customize It! mod, but I decided to split them because some people may not want to use Customize It! and want to use this, or viceversa. The buttons of the two mods sit side by side and don't overlap.


Thanks to Judazz and SamsamTS, whos UI code I've modified and used here for the user interface.

This mod uses Bloodypenguin's awesome Translation Framework and comes packed with 5 translations for the mod description and buttons text: Swedish, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish. If you'd like to add your own translation, let me know in the comments below.

I used some code from ModTools for texture work.

Guys, with this mod in mind, if you can add color maps to your buildings going forward that would be great! If you want your building to be just one color you can always set all variations to the same color. Adding nice color maps will make this mod useful. Thank you!
