Nice idea actually.

Coding wise, I think the EdB Interface UI Mod has half the answer on how to code this functionality (the onscreen colonist feature). This is how I see how it could be done (very roughly):

- On colonist death, save the picture of colonist at death (like it shows in the UI mod)
- Apply a "hologram" filter image to it (or don't)
- Then use the end result as a texture (or an additional texture for the hologram building?)
- Select the hologram from the build menu (misc?) and right click to select the dead colonist, or put down an empty hologram.

Hell, I might even try to make this, if I can understand the code in the UI Mod .dll

So much pretty colors, this is awesome for variety! Thank you for making/updating this and keep up the awesomeness!

Edit: the indents in the .xml files needs fixing

Hey,

I'm trying to mod a new race and I really want to set a fixed(non random) skin color (and trait(s)), but I'm having a problem of figuring out how to do that without "hacking" and setting pawn textures as armors <.<

I'm not sure if its possible, but at least when I tried to do something like this, it didn't work:

Code Select Expand

    internal class FooPawn : Pawn
    {
        public static readonly Color FooSkin = new Color(34,197,238);

        public FooPawn()
        {
        }

        public virtual void ExposeData()
        {
            base.ExposeData();
            this.story.skinColor = FooSkin;
        }

    }

I'm guessing that it didn't work because the game sets the skin color sometimes after ExposeData(), but even so, I have no idea how to go around that. I hope that someone can help me.

I guess it would also work if I could somehow override (or add to it (if race == "Foo" then use these colors..)) "public static Color RandomSkinColor()" for the new race, but again, I don't know how to. 

I also would like to see a feature which allow closing and opening (locking / unlocking?) the vents, just like doors.
