1914: Follow Unfollow 85; Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.0 - 1.22.2, potentially outdated):
waypointcolours (1.22).zip 1-click install

This is a continuation of Rangelost's mod, Waypoint Colours. Nothing about the mod has been changed. It has simply been recompiled to work on the latest versions of Vintage Story.

In short, this mod:

Adds a new default palette of map icon colors for creating waypoints.
Allows you to customize the color palette with a waypointcolours.json config file, if desired.

Here is the description from the original mod page.

This is a simple mod with the objective of further increasing waypoint icon visibility on the world map.

Upon running the mod, a waypointcolours.json config file will be created in the game's ModConfig directory if it doesn't already exist. The hex colour codes within can be modified, added to or removed to customize available colours in the waypoint menu.

In the ZIP archive, a defaultcolours.json file is included, but not used. It is only there to provide the game's default list of colours for convenience.

As a side-effect, using custom colours may disable some of the game's hard-coded waypoint names (e.g. "Copper").

Note: This mod will not automatically modify the colour of existing waypoints.

There is technically no limit, but depending on your screen resolution, a large amount of colors will eventually make the map marker GUI go offscreen and become unusable. Probably up to around 200-250 colors is safe for most modern screen resolutions. Note that custom icons from other mods may also affect the size of this GUI / the overall limit.

Pamela, Mar 18th at 10:23 PM (modified Mar 18th at 11:18 PM)

Is there a limit to the amount of colors you can have in the config file?

egocarib , Mar 14th at 1:40 PM

Added a new version of the mod for Vintage Story 1.22+

Enjoy!

BugleMama64, Mar 7th at 6:01 AM

mactso i really like your color palette! also works for me on 1.21.6, though ymmv

ShadowsEdge, Dec 18th 2025 at 11:35 AM

Doesn't work on 1.21.6.

eerino, Oct 1st 2025 at 5:44 AM

And this is my color palette:

]
}

I tried to make sure each color had its own shades and brightnesses, but also to keep them from being too numerous to fit within the UI. (Especially if you have mods for additional icons installed.)

Total 64 colors.

I've developed this alternative JSON file for my personal which is organized in a color chart, uses all 11 spaces on each line (44 colors total), with colors that show well on the new beige maps and the oldmap, and the file has breaks every 11 colors to make it easier to edit.

Some of you may find it useful.

Yes, I tested and confirmed the existing file still works fine in 1.20 release (despite having 1.19 in the title).

LunaGore, Dec 19th 2024 at 3:16 AM

Works in 1.20.0-rc.5 in case anyone is curious.
