It's also possible you have multiple of THIS mod (the other styles?) installed at the same time, which is also not required, you only need one of them, despite them being linked as "required mods"
RustyDios 22 Dec, 2024 @ 3:26pm 
That error looks like either you have my mod running before this one (which should be now fixed as I removed the duplicated code from mine) .... or possibly you need to update your Cosmoteer.

What is happening is that something is removing the vertex color entry (or it does not exist because the game needs updating) before this mod can remove it.

I have had an error too starting the game. Not sure when it started, but unsubscribing and resubscribing to the 3 Color-Coded Resources Mod fixed it.

@腾龙灵梦 Do you have installed @RustyDios mod ? His mod is incompatible with mine at the moment. Disable it if you want to use my mod. We are looking into a fix
Spectra  [author] 20 Dec, 2024 @ 11:46pm 
@腾龙灵梦 That's really odd. I didn't encounter any issues while testing the new patch. Is it still crashing? Could you try disabling other mods and running just my mod to check if it's specifically the one causing the problem?

Hello ~ Dear author, after the latest update of this MOD, clicking Enable will cause the game to start error and crash. Please fix this MOD~ I like this MOD very much :) ———— (this review is machine translation, grammar may have problems, please understand):steamhappy:

@goldmanguyperson Thank you for letting me know and sorry for the late reply, Busy end of month and early December. I'm exploring the issue, is caused by the new rare asteroids. I will get a fix by the end of next week.

v Carbon seems to have the same color as sulfur as well
goldmanguyperson 27 Nov, 2024 @ 11:10pm 
The new update seems to have broken some of the colors for some reason. Gold, tritanium, and uranium all have the same color as sulfur now.

Could you make a mod that colors all the different allegiances (Player1, Player2, Player8, Neutral, etc.) differently in multiplayer sandbox when viewed from All Players? It's all just green blips fighting green blips in the vanilla game, gets a little confusing if you're trying to manage some kinda multipolar fleet war.
tr0ll3r 2 Apr, 2024 @ 1:11pm 
@spectra ok, i suspected that. thank you for taking time to look into it. and making the mod as well, as I like it and will continue using it.
Spectra  [author] 2 Apr, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
@tr0ll3r, the mod does not alter custom markers; it only enhances the appearance of the actual mineral icons to make them more readable.

Custom markers are always displayed on the map.

Mineral icons, however, are only visible when you are within range of your ship.

Therefore, if you have custom markers placed but are not within the visible range of the minerals your ship can detect, no custom mineral icon will appear.
tr0ll3r 2 Apr, 2024 @ 10:57am 
@spectra I only have your mod installed. There were 3 and I only checked one. But they only show if I have a vehicle in the vicinity. Mine show like all your screenshots, but see how all my custom markers are white dots instead of a specific color dot, or does the mod not do that?
Spectra  [author] 2 Apr, 2024 @ 10:08am 
@tr0ll3r The mod on my end is working on all distances. Icons should show up.

I just took some screenshots to see if something was broken and showed as yours.
My guess is that you have a mod that is conflicting with my mod.

@spectra just uploaded to my screenshots. in the one, they work b/c i'm in vicinity. in the other, i'm zoomed way out and only get the white dot. maybe that is expected. i was hoping for the dot color to correspond to the resource, which would help tremendously.
Spectra  [author] 1 Apr, 2024 @ 6:56pm 
@tr0ll3r care to share a picture?
tr0ll3r 1 Apr, 2024 @ 11:48am 
Actually, I see that it is working on one of my ships. Maybe I misunderstood this. I was hoping that zoomed out all the resources I map out would show the color when zoomed out. That way, I'm able to just tell which locations have the most of a specific resource by color instead of mousing over everything.
Spectra  [author] 20 Mar, 2024 @ 12:11pm 
@Leonix, I haven't been playing the game.
Can others confirm having this error?
I will take a look at it as soon as i have time. 🖖
Leonix 19 Mar, 2024 @ 10:22am 
Well, something may have happened, because I see vanilla icons... O.o
Spectra  [author] 24 Oct, 2023 @ 2:53pm 
@wolfdk19, even tho the version is not the same as the current, the it should work with the latest version. Unless something big has changed in the game. I'm currently not playing the game so i'm not following the updates.
WolfDk19 23 Oct, 2023 @ 4:37am 
update ?
Spectra  [author] 11 Jun, 2023 @ 4:55pm 
@Martin Astos: Yes, the blinking animation is the default (vanilla) behavior of the icons.

@psionic_m: The mod does not modify the code that affects interaction behaviors. Therefore, the issue you mentioned is most likely the vanilla behavior of the in-game icons for the resources and not intentional.
psionic_m 10 Jun, 2023 @ 1:20pm 
Question: Is it intentional that these colour coded resource names show 'on top of'/'above' the Custom Markers? If I have a custom marker in the same place as a resource name, I cannot right click to remove the custom marker, and hovering the mouse over the custom markers in the same place as resource names no longer shows the text contained within the marker.
Martin Astos 1 Jun, 2023 @ 3:50am 
Yes that is the thing I'm talking about.
It's not a 'problem', certainly not with your mod, I just still find it harder to identify what each asteroid is when the icon is only fully visible for a small percentage of time.
Spectra  [author] 31 May, 2023 @ 8:41pm 
@MartinAstos Do you mean the blinking effect the icons have? Thats the default vanilla behaviour. There might be a way to prevent the animation from playing. Can you provide a short recording of the matter just to be extra sure about it?
Martin Astos 31 May, 2023 @ 3:20am 
Love this version. Any way to turn off the fade in and out that the icons do when on screen? (might be in vanilla game settings and just blind?)
Spectra  [author] 13 Mar, 2023 @ 12:35pm 
@Tantrumus You are most welcome, I'm glad that these little QoL changes help others better enjoy the game ^_^
Spectra  [author] 13 Mar, 2023 @ 12:35pm 
@Nevermore lol, between another one in the set or some adobe software lol
Nevermore 13 Mar, 2023 @ 5:16am 
The Au icon looks awfully familiar
Tantrumus 10 Jan, 2023 @ 5:39am 
I would like to thank you for this mod. I can't imagine this wasn't part of the default game. I have been running this mod from before I ever tried the vanilla game and just cannot imagine playing minus this.
maomaotu 25 Nov, 2022 @ 11:41pm 
他的mod颜色编码了地图和船上显示的自然资源(图标)覆盖。



这个mod应该可以改善资源的视觉扫描,因为我个人不喜欢读符号有多难,因为符号通常都很小。



Mod兼容[0.20.18+]



修改的资源:

-碳

-铜

-黄金

-Hyperium公司

-铁

-硫磺

-氚

-铀



注:

mod不修改实际资源的值,它只增加了对相应资源进行颜色编码的能力。



如果您使用mod,请留下任何反馈。
Spectra  [author] 25 Nov, 2022 @ 12:47am 
This is the text only version. The other styles are not needed, i just added them to bring awareness of their existence in case one wants a different version.
You only need to subscribe to the one you want.
Darth Porgus 19 Nov, 2022 @ 5:41am 
This should get added to the real game!
stormzel 18 Nov, 2022 @ 10:52pm 
@Spectra Roger ,thx
Spectra  [author] 18 Nov, 2022 @ 7:16pm 
@Canyew Yes, it should be client side. I have disabled the multiplayer requirement. So technically it should. I don't have anybody to test the multiplayer functionality so i'm not 100% sure.
Spectra  [author] 18 Nov, 2022 @ 7:15pm 
@PyxelDust, it should not be causing any kind of crash. Can you test it again. I made sure the mod is client side only. Let me know if it crashes.
PyxelDust 18 Nov, 2022 @ 3:12pm 
@spectra It was actually a source of crash to desktop errors, when we uninstalled the mod it stopped happening.
Canyew 18 Nov, 2022 @ 11:19am 
I'm new to this game, are mods like this client side only? So lets say that, if I have this and join a friends game, do they need it too? Since it only changes a few UI elements
DragonF1reCDN 18 Nov, 2022 @ 4:36am 
@Spectra
Thanks! Good to know it's clientside. This will probably be the only mod i use normally when playing lol since i like my ships to be vanilla compatible
Spectra  [author] 17 Nov, 2022 @ 6:14pm 
@stormzel the mod is compatible with any patch, there is only a warning but it should work normally.
stormzel 17 Nov, 2022 @ 4:51pm 
hi , can update mod for new ver(0.20.23) ?
Spectra  [author] 16 Nov, 2022 @ 9:17pm 
@DragonF1reCDN yes, it is client side
DragonF1reCDN 16 Nov, 2022 @ 10:07am 
A question before I actually go for this mod, is it clientside?
Lolindir Surion 16 Nov, 2022 @ 8:17am 
Nice mod :)

For those who don't like the text symbols,
i find it really weird why the devs hyperium took themselves as symbol and the others didn't, so i made my own mod and gave all their ore matching symbol.

@Spectra
If you like we can also link the mods to each other for an optional choice :)
MostBlunted 16 Nov, 2022 @ 6:39am 
Awesome mod, thanks!
Spectra  [author] 15 Nov, 2022 @ 7:03pm 
@The One Eyed Wolf, i would probably release a different mod for the non mineable ones.
The One Eyed Wolff 15 Nov, 2022 @ 4:15pm 
can you extend the custom icons and colours to the non minable resources too?
icuurd12b42 14 Nov, 2022 @ 3:58pm 
Jesus the lack of edit on these posts...
*where with yours I only *see* the asteroid 10% of the time
*Also you also have two mods you know? like this one and the text only one :)
icuurd12b42 14 Nov, 2022 @ 3:55pm 
I'm usually at zoomed at level 24 or higher (you can count the zooms from all the way zoomed in) when I supervise mining while I have another teams elsewhere because I mainly use the zoom towards mouse to also move the view. That's when the large asteroids are just a little larger than the text and medium sized ones are usually visible, bulging up the Letter. With the flashing cycle that makes resource visible 90% of the time where with yours I only the asteroid 10% of the time when your colored square is invisible enough to see behind it... Maybe make the alpha of the rectangle 80% more transparent. just barely noticeable, just enough to hue the asteroid behind it.

Also you have have to mods you know? like this one and the text only one :)
Spectra  [author] 14 Nov, 2022 @ 2:47pm 
@icuurd12b42 The answer is: because when I originally made the mod, I did not know how to add custom icons lol, furthermore, the steam workshop image wont get updated after its posted :(

How far zoomed out are you playing the game? I always zoom in and zoom out. That is a good feedback, thank you for mentioning it.
