Colored Tinted Windows Mod?

Trying to find a mod that adds tinted windows with different colors. Only found one on the entire Workshop and it doesn't even work. Anyone know where I can find one that works?

Anyone got an answer for this...?

It should be simple to make one, but it would not be simple to make it a variable, it would need to be a separate one for each color you need...

Good enough for me. Any tips on how to do that?

OK, a quick investigation and test...

Location of file: <install path>\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Data

File name: TransparentMaterials.sbc

Section:

<TransparentMaterial>
<Id>
<TypeId>TransparentMaterialDefinition</TypeId>
<SubtypeId>GlassOutside</SubtypeId>

Values:

<ColorAdd>
<X>0.0</X>
<Y>0.0</Y>
<Z>0.0</Z>
<W>0.9</W>

... changing the Y value to 0.8 gives you a nice green shade ...

You'd need to make a file with just that section defining the transparent material, with the correct header/footer sections as in the original, saved in the 'Data' subdirectory of your new mod as something.sbc and that's about it. More help may be available but will not be as prompt from me, though others here or on the Keen Discord can probably assist.

Namaste, and good luck. :)
