Proposition(s) for colors w-z

Post by Jimmy »

As I said in my other thread, there are no colors available between w & z for the \c escape codes. Shall we address this? :)

I spent some time going over the Heretic and Strife palettes, and settled on four ideas for new colors that I believe fill niches that the current set of colors doesn't.

These aren't final by any means, and can probably still be tweaked a lot.

Tested in all the default fonts, as you can see, although bear in mind these all got translated to the Doom palette first since I was testing every font under this IWAD. Strife QuestFont is the only one that really obviously suffered as a result. (It looks much better under the Strife palette.)

I give you: ice, fire, sapphire and teal.

Code: Select all

Ice
{
	#343450  #7C7C98    0 94
	#7C7C98  #E0E0E0   95 256
Console:
	#343450  #7C7C98    0 127
	#7C7C98  #E0E0E0  128 256
Flat:
	#7C7C98
}
Image

Code: Select all

Fire
{
	#6F0000  #D57604   0 94
	#D57604  #FFFF00   95 256
Console:
	#6F0000  #D57604    0 127
	#D57604  #FFFF00  128 256
Flat:
	#D57604
}
Image

Code: Select all

Sapphire
{
	#000468  #506CFC    0 94
	#506CFC  #50ECFC   95 256
Console:
	#000468  #506CFC    0 127
	#506CFC  #50ECFC  128 256
Flat:
	#506CFC
}
Image

Code: Select all

Teal
{
	#001F1F  #236773    0 80
	#236773  #7BB3C3   81 256
Console:
	#001F1F  #236773    0 127
	#236773  #7BB3C3  128 256
Flat:
	#236773
}

I like that fire color. The others aren't bad either.

Thanks. If anyone wants to pitch some alternatives there are plenty of ideas in Fuzzball's new text colors PK3, just check the spoilers on that page.

Truthfully, "Teal" looks more like "Mint" to me. (Not that this is a problem; mint's still a really good color.)

Yeah, I absolutely agree with this!

If you want it to be more like "Teal", then you should darken it a bit and try to make it less white-ish. Though, I also like the idea of a "Mint", too.. :wink:

My two cents on this is that all 4 of those colors rock, and since we're all inevitably gonna nitpick and suggestify-it to death if we leave this open too long, I'd say just go with 'em. :P

[dislcaimer: not knockin' anyone who's suggested otherwise or anything -- I'm mostly saying this because I'm resisting the urge to do that exact thing myself. ;]

I'm with xaser on this -- all four colors do rock. The fire one is just a delicious color to gaze at. Not to mention ice and sapphire as well. I think these will be a great addition.

(Side note: I don't like strife, but damn do those colors look GOOD on the strife big font)

Okay I'll do a PR once I've got my head actually attached.

In trying to make one just now over the online GitHub repo I may have made all 8 crucial file edits in separate branches. I think I fucked up...? ?????

You should do all edits in one branch. But GitHub in browser sucks anyway as it creates way too many commits if you need to modify bunch of files.
I think I'll compose one commit from your changes as I want to test them anyway.

EDIT: Works fine for me. I've changed padding a bit to look better with 4 spaces tabs and updated messages in Cocoa color test code.
Pull request is here.

Oh geez thanks, haha. I was so lost doing it on the site anyway and really should've used GitKraken which I'm actually somewhat au fait with.

Cheers for adding these, was fun to put them together.

I suppose they could the option for \c0 through \c9 next.

Why? You can specify colors directly by name. It made some sense to complete the list but there won't be any more.

ACC headers needs to be updated with the new colours: https://github.com/rheit/acc/blob/master/zdefs.acs
