How to calculate minimap colors?

I suppose I could look at EEs source, but if someone already knows then that would be preferable.

I think it averages the color of each pixel somehow.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

DOH's site has a chart on his website--->http://capasha.com/ee/blocks/ee/blocks.html

Re: How to calculate minimap colors?

I have a class made for this purpose. I've made it all by myself, except for some random color calculation code from stackoverflow. All colors are correct because they are straight from EE itself.
Colors are stored in a dictionary with the blockid as key.

Edit: I forgot this needs some images containing the blocks so it can calculate the average colors.

Re: How to calculate minimap colors?

That's a whole lot of code Gustav, for something quite simple.
I do similar, with images -- however mine is slightly different. I do use a list of colours though. This to be exact.

If the block colour is not in the list (i.e. new added blocks) it will attempt to approximate the colours, and it should be 100% accurate considering EE Client does it as well for new added blocks.

private static Color ToColour(uint value)         {             return Color.FromArgb((byte)((value >> 24) & 0xFF),                        (byte)((value >> 16) & 0xFF),                        (byte)((value >> 8) & 0xFF),                        (byte)(value & 0xFF));         }

public Color getColourMinimap(Bitmap bitmap)         {             return bitmap.GetPixel(8, 8);         }

if (File.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "/includes/colours.txt"))             {                 foreach (string color in File.ReadAllLines((Application.StartupPath + "/includes/colours.txt")))                 {                     string[] splt = color.Split(' ');                     if (splt[0] != "0")                     colours.Add(Convert.ToInt32(splt[0]), ToColour(Convert.ToUInt32(splt[1])));                 }             }

foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(Application.StartupPath + "/blocks", "*.png", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))             {                   FileInfo f = new FileInfo(file);                   if (!colours.ContainsKey(id))                       colours.Add(id, getColourMinimap(bit));             }

Re: How to calculate minimap colors?

I believe that they changed it back in the RPGMaster days so it would be an average of all the pixils in the block, but they changed a few of the old ones, because it screwed up some of the block colors from blocks already made.

Re: How to calculate minimap colors?

This could help with finding the lower numbers in grey blocks and stuff. I think. Would that do anything?

Yeah, I guess you wouldn't have to generate color for the blocks every startup.

Re: How to calculate minimap colors?

Thanks.   I'll try decrypting Atilla's code tomorrow and then give up and use gustav's.
