[quote="h2o.AvA"]Gladly.
I was going to add give pirates their own color, however since only one color is remaining..
I haven't played XTC much, are pirates important or can they remain the same color as an unknown sector?[/quote]
hmmm pirates are playing a big role in XTC i think,
they got splintered up in several clans too. So far i havent
encountered them. i rather have Terran and Aldrin have their
own sector colour then pirate sectors since those two are
pretty much at each other's throat. No way to get more colours in the
game? (hardcoded?)
Thanks for this excellent script btw... makes the galaxy map much
more enjoyable and easier to view.

[quote="hunterkiller"]Heya nice mod Very fun =]
Is their anyway you can make it work with Xtended for tc?[/quote]
Xtended for tc = XTC = already taken care of in this script, you can choose between installing the vanille director files or the XTC director files. (dont forget to rename the one you wanna use to ''director'' instead of ''director vanilla'' or ''director XTC'')

Colors in the next update:
Blue - Argon
Green - Boron
Cyan - Player, Aldrin(XTC)
Magenta - Paranid
Orange - Split
Red - Kha'ak, Xenon
White - Terran, ATF
Yellow - Teladi
Grey - Unknown, Pirate, Yaki
What is the least influential or smallest race in XTC?
Perhaps I should change the Player's sector color to match a different race, or make it selectable. (Sadly, we don't have any more colors to use)
Or would you rather see colors based on your notoriety?
Green = +10000
Yellow = -9999 to 9999 (Border)
Orange = -99 to 99 (Core)
Magenta = -100 (Core)
Red = -10000 (Border)
Cyan = Player
Blue - Argon
Green - Boron
Cyan - Player, Aldrin(XTC)
Magenta - Paranid
Orange - Split
Red - Kha'ak, Xenon
White - Terran, ATF
Yellow - Teladi
Grey - Unknown, Pirate, Yaki

I haven't finished the story line in TC so I haven't started XTC.
For player owned sectors, currently it is sharing the same color as Aldrin, is there a better race I should change it to share with, or perhaps I'll just make a menu and leave it up to you regarding everything, heheh.
Hmm, I like that last idea, so unless I get negative responses then that is what will occur in the next update or two.

two oberservations for XTC version and one question:
i get blank messages from unknown, as described in yr other
thread post ''http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=293720''
i assume once its fixed there it will be fixed here as well..
some sectors while beeing argon core sectors got red coloured
in my game. I havent found a single pirate sector so far so maybe
its disguisded as a race sector...
How can we safely de-install yr scripts? Removing yr scripts
makes all sectors numbered, they loose their names. I wanna see
if by de-installing and re-installing it again it might solve my incorrect
red coloured sector problem.
thnks,
qwizzie

Uninstalling..
I didn't think of that.
Currently you can't, however..
I believe they are Red because Argon took those sectors over.
The blank message needs to be fixed on the senders end.
If XTC send a message containing a sector name or ship name, then it will be blank.
I recommend complaining to the patch dev team to implement a simply color stripping code, they can even use mine, I give them full permission...
More things added to the todo list:
Add Hotkey to update sectors and uninstall colors.

New Version 1.3a
Multiple fixes:
Kha'ak Sector, Aldrin and Player colors, dynamic reimplemented, compatibility for and requirement to install Colored Object Fix added, ability to manually change a color, update/reinstall all colors, and uninstall.
XTC has a lot of new sectors which are 'captured' by the races, originally they are Red, so they will appear Red. Every so often you will need to change those. I will attempt to get permission to provide a patch for their code so that it is fully automated, same with STO and RSM.

niceeee, will install tonight. thanks.
EDIT 05-01-2011 : installed the MD Control for XTC & Colored Object Fix
made sure it was running in my game... saved. Installed yr Dynamic Colored Sector Names v1.3. Had a problem with colors not beeing put in... just the renaming of the sectors. Put a hotkey to yr script, tried first option (to choose color for one specific sector) and out of no-where all colors where showing in the galaxy map. Put a different color on the sectors of Adrin ownership and saved. i must say it looks great ..well done !!!
