Color Sets!

In an attempt to make the BT game more friendly to people with color blindness, I (with the help of @gponick) have made a new release that allows you to setup multiple sets of colors to deal with various landscapes. This is great if you're not color blindness because the default colors can hardly be seen on martian style planets. Also I've added the ability to dash any of the parts of the line of fire lines (direct, indirect, and obstructed).

I had to add new mod settings to the mod.json in a new format, but your old mod.json file's settings will still work for now.

Anyway, here's an example image of a blue indirect fire line on an ice planet at night normally and with simulated full color blindness.

indirect blue cb

Super difficult to see in either. So now there's a keybind for changing to the next set of colors.

I'm still working on a couple ideas to help that look like this.

Now you use readily available color pickers on the web to get rgb values and plug them directly into the mod settings. No more dinking around with 0-1 conversions. Your old colors should keep working!

Maybe you want the lines to be blue?

ModTek! Configuration!

Added compatibility with ModTek, so now you'll need that already crucial library installed to get this one working.

I think this image presents the most concise case for why you want this mod. You've been in the situation where the lines are both red and you move and then realize you actually don't have an alpha strike. The orange-yellow line is indirect fire:
