The WTFS Rainbowticus

Given that they should be a lot easier to recolour, one could just find the -end- colour of the toothpaste beam (ie after the blending in the "current" system) and then use -that-.

Right?

can it be made that we recolor weapons and modules as well? so to blend in with the color of the ships.

I can finally make a giant penis ship with white shotgun blasters

Been there, done that.

Except I used lancet beams.

Well there is a slight difference. The recoloured shots are monchrome, so they won't have the same intensity white cores of the original shots. What's while will be fully the custom colour and everything else will just be a shade of that.

so, can we have an ETA of when will we be able to use these coloured shots?

I hope the shipbuilder files of the current one are still compatible with this feature...

Okay, I got the Beamers working now, changed the screenshot to show the WTFS Rainbowticus in all its glory instead.

Need to improve the cyan beam a LITTLE bit.

I would just like to point out that the Rainbowticus is FAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS.

Th15 said over on IRC that the main issue with the cyan beam is how he aimed it.

You need to take showers more often.

Then, maybe even adding new sections will be possible...

At last, we can start pulling obscure colors for our ships.

Thanks for the progress updates.

Any chance we'll be able to have the custom color index in the shipmaker save our custom colors?

I know th15 hates macros, but really, I can't resist. It's too perfect. My dream of creating this man's flagship has been fufilled. I only wish I could have created it :honourblade:
