GTA Palette & Mouse SCM API

Many of people have asked how to create UI interface in CLEO SCM, but most of them have no required knowledge to know how to begin.
However creators of CLEO added useful commands such as 0AB1 and 0AB2 that make it possible to simulate classes from modern programming languages.
When combined with method of additional variables, we’re able to do something than usual 0AB1 SCM functions.
The subject described in this document is easy-to-use circular HSV palette with few buttons to select color, alpha and switch whether value of color shall be maximized when particular color is being chosen by clicking on palette.
Reasonably a mouse support is easy to use as well. It occurs as a matter of 3 opcodes to add in source of project.
What’s more – you can use more than one instance of palette and draw it on screen. Feel free to use palette and mouse cursor in whichever project where you can find these things useful.
As time goes by - GTA SA modding is still growing up.

Can you please make a video of how this works ingame? It looks very interesting.

[fastman92]

I have only a video of the In-game Timecyc Editor (project already), where palette is used.

On the video, button to switch option, brightening value of color when color is chosen by clicking on palette didn't exist yet.

What i made is Palette & Mouse Cursor SCM Framework for which you will need little skill of CLEO scripting.

It's FOR SCRIPTERS, who want use mouse cursor and possibly a palette in their projects.

Please download archive and open Readme.docx to read more.

This interface is much better than SA's panels.

[Deji]

I miss working with these kind of interfaces. Can't wait until L.A.M.E. is the next thing on my todo list...

Mouse is tiny, though

[juarez]

Very nice. Good job.

[fastman92]

Thanks for replies.

I updated version to 1.1:

Note that anyone can use the palette in their projects freely. You can use it whenever needed. Example: car color editor.
Upcoming In-game Timecyc 1.7 will be integrated with GTA Palette & Mouse SCM API.

It would be nice to see something like this replace the mod shop color picker in-game. Gonna take a look...

You should include a sample that demonstrates how to check if a drawn texture has been clicked on, because I couldn't understand it in the PaletteCircleHandling.
