Auto-Color

Description
This mod was created primarily for use with campaign games like Gloomhaven or various Legacy games, in which players typically use the same colors every time they play. When connecting to the game, players will automatically be switched to their saved color. Similarly, when a game is loaded while players are already connected, they will be switched to their saved color.

Players without a preferred color who occupy a seat wanted by another player will be forced out of the color into Gray.

To use:
The first time this mod is loaded, it will create a notebook tab called Colors; you can also create it yourself prior to the first use. This tab should contain separate lines for each color, like this: "White:UprootedGrunt". The color name has to be capitalized, then a colon (:), then the Steam username of the player (note, no spaces should be entered between the colon and the username).

The additive load this mod to whatever game you are playing. If you save the game after that, the mod will remain, and any future connections will automatically apply the color.


[Special thanks to GabrielM, author of the Gloomhaven Fantasy Setup, a mod from which I stole the idea of grabbing data from a Notebook tab.]

Very cool Shep.

Just wanted to thank you again UprootedGrunt, this is really useful.
I upgraded your mod with a couple of QoL things that made it even easier to use, at least for me.

The notebook "Colors" tab. Just so I can rule out easy to fix issues.

What do you mean by "notebook formatting"?
UprootedGrunt  [author] 27 Aug, 2021 @ 7:32pm 
Hmm. It's supposed to make you grey first, then the real color. Want to drop your notebook formatting in the discussions area?

It doesn't work for me for some reason. He throws me to the greys all the time.

Already tried it, works like a charm. Thanks!

Yes, I meant between the colon and the username. It searches for the name starting with the character immediately after the colon, and searches until the next control character (line break, for instance). A space after the colon would expect a space at the front of the username.

BTW, what if the Steam username has spaces? (you mention that no spaces should be entered; did you mean between the colon and the username?

Awesome, found it, didn't notice it was hidden from all colors except black. Thanks!
