^It works in 2.0.2 for me... ???

Thanks for telling me. This prompted me to investigate further, and I found the reason it didn't work.

Windows Threat Protection got overzealous, since I hadn't started the new Aurora.exe yet and gave Windows the OK to run it, it refused doing so through a third-party app. It works now. :)

And it works for Aurora version 2.0, because AuroraPatch is built with future compatibility in mind.


You sure? I've tried running the current AuroraPatch with 2.0 and 2.0.2, in fresh installs and in copies of my working installation which I patched... in both cases AuroraPatch just says "Failed to start Aurora" and that's it.

I realy hoped some/most of the code of this would have been added to 2.0 ... but sadly ... -.-

I too hope that someone who can code will take this over and makes a new version .. at least with the color and regional settings ...
The colour and regional settings stuff has been ported over to AuroraPatch for quite a while. (And it works for Aurora version 2.0, because AuroraPatch is built with future compatibility in mind.)

This mod is essential. It is not only colors. This allow to play on lower resolution and also adds awesome hotkeys for example at scrap component UI allowing to skip lot of clicking.

Is this going to be updated to 1.13? Ive just come back to Aurora and would love to use this :)

You ought to read my post above yours. This version is no longer being updated hence the "final" in the post title.

But the link you sent is to a deprecated mod/theme, and T2DTheme doesnt have the features this does and its been nearly a year since you commented... Unless T2D is going to be developed to have resizing, custom themes etc it isnt a replacement for this.

You are correct that the T2DTheme doesn't have complete feature parity. However it is the only thing that is actually updated for 1.13 so unfortunately its the best I can give you.

However, you can with minimal editing do resizing and some custom color stuff so its not quite as bare as you make it out to be, just needs more work than the 1.12 version. I still use it with 1.13 to this day and have been able to do all things I needed it to do. In my case I use the SolarisTheme.

Edit: Here is SolarisTheme http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=12568.0
Consider looking under the "Approved Mods" section of the forums for more, you might prefer Deep Blue.

AuroraMod noooo :'( :'(  I can't imagine Aurora 4x without this mod.  Thanks for your work.  I will wait for better times.

I think we need to pressure Steve to incorporate some of the features from the mod...  personally I really need the color part of this mod as I find Steve's original colors to be really bad for my eyes.

I agree that this game could really do with some Quality-of-Life improvements (such as colour and font settings that allow more of us to play), however unfortunately it's been incredibly hard to get any traction on this - Steve was so anti-mod when C# first came out that he threatened on multiple occasions to just not publish the game at all and keep it to himself. It's the reason the subreddit, forum, and Discord had complete bans on even talking about mods for a while.

That said, it'd obviously fine for Steve to do this - it's his game and he isn't even paid for it. He can do whatever he wants.

So perhaps the dialog that originally allowed modding to happen can be re-opened, and some avenue to allow modding could be introduced? I'll put my money where my mouth is and can offer to actually do some of this - like many other people here I have some background in software development - if that's at all helpful. I just want to be able to play the game again, to be honest.

All-in-all I'd consider AuroraMod a success - not only has it helped more people play Aurora, but it also took some pressure off Steve with regards to UI requests. He's also told me he may look into incorporate some of those changes in the main game.

This is honestly all anyone can ask for, thanks for making auroramod.
