suggestions

Can we have the bot color options increased by allowing the RGBs to be split and moved independently, rather than grouped.

Can we also be allowed to drop them to 0's with there being restrictions on allowing combos of anything 0-3 on all 6 digits. (example: allowing 00ffff, but not 112233)

Bump!

Bump! :)

I actually added this to my backlog awhile back but never replied here. I moved it higher because I think this would be fairly quick to do as long as there's some reasonably simple way to decide whether a color will be visible enough.

Yeah, I agree. I could see having a "blacklist" of options that aren't allowed (combinations that are too dark (000000/000001, etc) would be a way to go but that might cause a lot more effort and become more work than necessary. Could just make it were 444444+ options are available, that would open us to a lot more options.

Make each character have a value. 0=0 1=1, 2=2 etc up to 9, then a=10 and so forth while having the requirement of meeting a minimum value. Could be 12 to match the current system, or 24 if the three pairs are split and individually controlled.

I imagine the code for the fight/train again links already has something that could be useful for this type of thing.

Individual -/+ of all 6

And allow at least 2 to be 0-3

Bump

How would people feel about the native HTML5 color picker for color selection?

(click the colored squares in the "Choose your monster's colors:" demo area)

For context, in addition to allowing individual RGB values to go below "44" (provided the overall color's relative luminance on the game's black background is still high enough), I'm also looking into free-form color selection rather than the existing fixed "1st/2nd R value must match" (and so on) restriction. The native browser color picker would probably be easiest for doing this, but it seems fairly limited on some devices (on Android Chrome you cannot select by hex color and I read that on Android Firefox you can only select from a small set of fixed options). It's probably fine for desktop players.

As a FireFox main, I hate it because it doesn't work on FF based on the page

Otherwise I like it

I honestly think anything that would allow for more options so people can distinguish themselves apart from the others (most of us like to use the same color across all our bots) but we're quite limited in our current selection for similar colors (example only so many red options or blues).

Note that the Firefox restriction is mobile-only (Android only?) AFAICT. On desktop, the Firefox picker looks fully functional.
