Color created

[Claudio 81]

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a problem with you.
If you create a color after the last update (1.13) it no longer remains in memory.
This means that once you create a color, we must remember to write down the values of color ... absurd. Does that happen to you too ?

 

[Nuschel01]

Yes, already have a note written down on my phone for the colors I used

Thanks PD 👍

In the first version of the game, that was the case. In the previous updates, the colour list were still reseted between two session, but you could select a sticker, grab its colour and then it reappears on the list. Using this process, I have some liveries where the "other" section is filled with squares of the colours I used on this to find them easilly). But unfortunately this is no longer the case and we have to write down codes. It's a pain for liveries you started before the update (where you knew you can have the colours back) and you have to re-open now.

I've got various lists of colours dotted about. I wish that we could have an option to permanently store and name them. I also wish that PD stuck to the proper HSV (or whatever) codes, rather than screwing about with the first number.

rather than screwing about with the first number.

Divide the H of the HSV value by 3.65, keep the other two values and you should get the color you need.

3.6

3.6

True, I somehow landed on a website telling it‘s 365°

 

[DigitalBaka]

Typo? Fake news? Somebody notify POTUS! Make the livery editor great again!

 

[Nuschel01]

It shouldn‘t make a difference anyway as you can‘t enter digits into the values

 

[uccio21]

Yes it happens also to me, they make the editor worst, this was a very hard challege considering how worst it was.

We should've been given the option to use CSS hexcodes instead of RGB HSV values.

It‘s not RGB but HSV/HSB with the H value in % rather than in °

I'd love for them to open up the options even further than that with RGB, real HSV, CYMK, even Pantone number. Of course, then you get an input screen that looks like colorizer.org. Maybe if they put tabs on it...?

Hi. Maybe this video can help. If you don't have the HSB values handy or just need to pick out a color in a decal.

This is annoying, a small glimmer of hope is if you've used the required colour as 'paint' as that still allows you to retrieve the values.

This works best in natural light though. I always select the outside background option when doing it, and doing it on a panel with no major brightness/darkness. Otherwise the color could up being different. If only slightly, it is annoying.

But yeah this is what I’ve been doing if I forget to screenshot while I work. This is good practice. Look at it as saving your work every now and then like you normally would when working on a design on your pc.
