Can Painting tool be modded?

Buggi · May 31, 2018

I have a huge project to paint and was hoping I could make a gun to paint with. Like choose a texture and fire away at the surfaces I want to paint.

Instinct tells me it's a very hard-coded system. I'm hoping someone has experimented with this.

Here you go, just point and shoot!

Copy and replace this over your paintTool in items.xml

If you want more durability so it does not break as fast you can adjust these numbers higher <property name="DegradationMax" value="500,500"/>

Cheers!

Also another thing I have done in my mod is change all textures to only require 1 paint and you can do that as well if you want in the painting.xml and just look for PaintCost and set them all to 1 <property name="PaintCost" value="1" /> just a suggestion.

Thanks! Yeah, I already set the paint costs... Now I wish there was a way to 'paint entire block' while in survival.

No Problem and yeah there is no way to paint the entire block but this gun basically has double the range and has less of a delay so it can be used faster.

Dm, hold r, choose paint all sides.

...or something close to that.

Oh, while in survival. Nm.

Also I figured you might want it to be a seperate tool so you can use this icon

and rename it and use a new ID for it and restore the original paint brush if you want, just have to make a new recipe for it and if you want you can add it to the trader and loot.

What's the link between the new 'paintGun' and the painting UI?

Not too sure what you mean but I think what you wanting is this <property name="Class" value="TextureBlock"/>

that is the action class that is tied to the paint UI tools

I use my tool like this, i removed the sound, particles and the delay to paint, but i am using the edit mod, idk how its works on survival

But if you want to paint in one color you can use the edit tools, you can download from here https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?47459-Unlocking-In-Game-Prefab-Editor-(Terrain-Tools)-dll-mod

1- Save your prefab

2- Select the prefab glue (You need to active DM to show the glue), Then press "K" and you need to find your texture id in the texture menu http://prntscr.com/jp3kc5 press "R" when the painting tool equipped, http://prntscr.com/jp3ius

3- if you dont know the id of the block just stay 0 and replace for the one that you know http://prntscr.com/jp3k1l
