Since the advent of the default dyes mod +in minetest_game, this mod has become more of an extension of the default mod and a library for +general color handling. + +Unified Dyes expands the standard dye set from 15 colors to 32, 197, or 256 (see below). + +#### Dependencies: +* any minetest game (0.4.17 or 5.2.0) +* mods + * default + * dye + * basic_materials (0.4.17 or 5.2.0) + * intllib (optional) + +#### Enhances + +* flowers mod. +* bobblocks +* blox +* castles++ +* coloredwood +* cotton +* flags +* homedecor +* ilights +* metals +* painting +* plasticbox +* stained glass +* unifiedbricks + +#### License: + +* GPL 2.0 or higher. + +## The Palettes: + +In these images, the "-50%" markings on the left next to some shades mean 50% saturation +for all hues in that shade line. Note that the shades above "full" don't have (or need) +this variation, since they're already lower-saturation by having been generated by brightening +the full colors. For the greys, the percentages shown are of brightness relative to pure white. +In these palettes, there are a few special cases: pink is aliased to light red, +brown is aliased to medium orange, and the recipe for dark orange differs +from the standard formula. I got the names for the more esoteric colors from +this site: http://www.procato.com/rgb+index/ + +![unifieddyes-extended-palette.png](unifieddyes-extended-palette.png) + +This is the official "extended" palette, showing 240 colors, arranged as 24 hues +with 10 brightness/saturation combinations for each, plus 16 greys. For an example +of how this palette is used, see Stained Glass mod. If you happen to examine the palette file, +you'll notice several bright green pixels in one corner, so-colored to remind me (or you) +that these are unused pixels that will be discarded by the engine. If you notice +a warning about this palette not having exactly 256 pixels, ignore it. + +![unifieddyes_palette_split.png](unifieddyes_palette_split.png) + +This is the 197-color palette, which is actually supplied as a set of "cut up" palette images: +each of the 24 hues above has its own file, with each file containing 8 shades of that hue, +plus one more containing the 5 levels of greyscale. These palettes are used when you need +the "colorfacedir" mode, especially when you need to define a whole bunch of alternate shapes +from your base node. You define a single base node, as usual, then 25 copies of each +of your alternate shapes, one suitably-named copy per hue (there's a helper function for this, +by the way). Take a look at my Colored Wood mod for examples of how this is done +(you can also see examples of the "extended" palette in that mod). + +![unifieddyes-colorwallmounted.png](unifieddyes-colorwallmounted.png) + +This is the "colorwallmounted" palette, which contains an abridged version of the above palette, +since the engine only allows 32 color slots with that mode. This palette +contains eight of the standard hues, three shades each (full, medium, dark), +plus the standard 5-shades of greyscale, along with light blue, light green, and pink. +Take a look at my Industrial Lights mod for an example of how this palette is used. + +## About venenux version + +VenenuX minenux project has a unifieddyes mod backported for minetest 0.4 and 5.2, +it backported almost all the fixeds and some improvements to work stable in those versions. + +https://codeberg.org/minenux/minetest-mod-unifieddyes + + diff --git a/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes-es.md b/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes-es.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e69de29 diff --git a/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes-extended-palette.png b/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes-extended-palette.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..19ad330 Binary files /dev/null and b/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes-extended-palette.png differ diff --git a/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes_palette_split.png b/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes_palette_split.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..09175e9 Binary files /dev/null and b/mods/unifieddyes/unifieddyes_palette_split.png differ
