About this mod Author’s original text

A better color picker and brush size tool for drawing articles as the Journalist.

When you draw as the Journalist, a color picker window appears next to your canvas. Instead of picking from preset colors and sizes, you now have:

  • Full Color Spectrum: Drag the color picker to choose any color you want (HSV picker with a gradient square and hue strip)
  • Custom Brush Sizes: Slide the size selector to any thickness from 1 to 100 pixels
  • Drag-and-Drop: Move the picker window anywhere by dragging it
  • Smart Sync: If you use the default game colors or sizes, the picker updates to match them automatically

Fully compatible with multiplayer — client-side only, other players see your custom colors automatically.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
