i [Rejected] Tank graphics suggestion

3 years ago

One of the first things that came into my mind when I first played Krastorio and saw the tank (which is very cool) was that in my opinion it looked a bit out of place because of its very dark color sheme. There is no other vehicle that has such a dark color.
So I tried to change it on my end to look more in place to the other vehicles and this is my result:

Vanilla Krastorio:

Adjusted colors:

In my opinion it fits better to the rest, so maybe you want to change it in the vanilla game as well?

That is very sad but I understand and thank you both for your awesome work. I hope that this mod will not die any time soon now when it will become incompatible to the future progress of Factorio.

But anyway, if anyone wants to create a mod with my changed graphics, please feel free to use my files (all is available and done, you just need to put them into a working mod):

U can do it urself easly, in this case is enough that u look inside the Krastorio 2 files and find how is defined the tank, and do in a mod in the data stage of mod data.raw.car[tank-name].property1 property2 and so on and u override the sprites, on the wiki of Factorio u can find moew informations.

Thank you but its not that easy for me. I dont understand how to replace the whole graphics.
I think the tank graohics are inside the layers, but there are several layers (like an array). One for normal, one for shadow and one for mask. How do I know what I have to replace with what graphic? They are not named. How can I replace the first with the base, the second with the mask and the third with the shadow? I guess thats what I have to do.

I am stuck with a line like this:
data.raw.car["kr-advanced-tank"].animation.layers ... ???? I dont know what I have to do if I want to replace the base png with my png now.

Maybe someone can help here? Thank you!
