Hello again, integrated the Solar matrix into ESIR, replacing Solar panel 1-3 graphics.

Is there anyway the individual panels but not the rest of the hardware could be masked?

Concerned with being able to perceive the base mount mask coloring when zoomed out—using runtime tinting on picture layer 1 at present after trying to open it in GIMP and adjust only turquoise's hue as in the item icons but running into issues with shadows becoming pixelated when opening the image; the effects while distinguishable are not quite as intended .

On second thought, this iteration looks pretty good!

I can look into making a mask for this but you will have to give me some time as its a fair bit of work given the destrution animations will require it, the licence for this mod does not permit derivatives of the art assets, you could tint them using the games features but creating a new asset in gimp would be classed as a derivative unfortunately.

Actually after some tinkering and contemplating how tinting works, was able to get the entity, destruction, and corpse appearing in the color schemes of the original EI vanilla solar panel recolors using only table.deepcopy and tints with Solar Matrix as a required dependency👍.

ESIR version 1.2.44 does have the item pictures as recolored internal images, but after fighting with transparency attempting the same for the technology images, went with a tint approach there as well and it turned out great—will switch to tinting items as well in 1.2.45.

nice im glad you found a solution, I may still create masks at some point

Tangential—wound up doing a startup setting for matrix scaling after a request.
Results -> 1,2,3,4
