Features

LegacyFlavour currently includes the following features:

1. Unit Display for Road Tools: This feature introduces a 'Unit' display for road tools, making it easier to plan and build your roads with precision. (Note: This feature requires the unit type to be set to Imperial in the game options.)

2. Transparent Zone Grid Cells: We've made zone grid cells transparent for a cleaner, more visually appealing city layout, allowing for a more immersive city planning experience.

3. Re-worked colour Zone colour scheme: Changes the colour scheme of zones to better match Cities Skylines 1. (UI icons will be updated too in the near future).

4. Colour-Blindness Modes: This is WIP and currently in testing. Cycle zone colours to match a scheme for specific types of colour blindness.

5. Toggle Shortcuts:

• ALT+Z to toggle the zone colours mod.
• SHIFT+Z to cycle through colour blindness modes.
• ALT+S to toggle Sticky Infomode Whiteness.
• SHIFT+W to toggle Sticky Infomode Whiteness value override.
• ALT+R to reload the config file
• ALT+U to toggle Units display

1. Configure Zone colours via JSON: Config file in mod directory to allow custom values.

2. Dynamic Zone Borders: If it snows zone borders will switch colour to be more visible on snow. UPDATE this now calculates snow coverage so is more accurate. It may have a delay as updates occur periodically to prevent performance hits.

3. Dynamic UI Icons: UI icons for zones now adapt to match the configured colours. These are dynamically generated from the games icons based on config settings.

4. Sticky Infomode Whiteness: Shortcuts to override infomode 'whiteness' setting to stop it constantly popping up.

5. UI System via HookUI: Integrates with HookUI to offer an advanced UI system, elevating your control and customization options.

6. Configurable Zoning Configuration: Customize zoning options like never before. Adjust colours, borders, and more, directly from the UI.

7. Enhanced Control over Weather and Time: Control weather and time settings with new features, including saving these states between game reloads.

8. Easy UI Access: Access the new UI menu conveniently through the HookUI button located in the top left corner.

9. Live UI Configurations: Experience live changes in the game as you adjust settings. Utilize colour pickers and other interactive elements for an immersive configuration process.

10. Buttons, buttons!: You can set colour blindness profile sets to the vanilla colours, reset them to Legacy Flavour's default.
