Player-Colored Weapon Rings (coloredrings.wad) is an aesthetic modification that changes the color of weapon rings based on the colors of the players around them.
A standalone pickup ring will change its color to that of the player nearest to it:
A thrown ring will change its color to that of the player who threw it:
This modification may be useful in Team Match and Capture the Flag, to better identify which thrown weapon rings are harmful and which are not. Or perhaps a weapon ring will change color as a player is headed towards it, which gives him/her a warning that another player is close by. Or maybe you just want to spice up match with some cool new colors!
When you enter a ringslinger gametype for the first time with this mod loaded, a menu will appear which will allow the host player to customize what is colored and what isn't. Once the game is set up, it won't appear again, unless you summon it manually. Special thanks to Joat for his awesome GUI mod!
Here are the included console commands and how to use them:
cr_menu
• Opens up the graphical menu, so you can set the below commands all at once if you wish.
cr_rings
• "No" (or "Off" or 0), which colors all thrown rings with (roughly) their original color.
• "Yes" (or "On" or 1), which colors all thrown rings with the color of the player who threw it.
cr_ammo
• "No" (or "Off" or 0), which colors all collectible rings with (roughly) their original color.
• "Yes" (or "On" or 1), which colors all collectible rings with the color of the nearest player.
cr_trails
• "none" (or 0), which sets ring trails to be their original colors (golden sparkles and dark smoke).
• "primary" (or 1), which sets ring trails to be the same color as the ring which spawned it.
• "complement" (or 2), which sets ring trails to be an inverse color (or close to one) of the ring which spawned it.
• "secondary" (or 3), which sets ring trails to be the player's second color, if that mod is loaded. If the mod is not loaded, the color will revert to its complement.
cr_fire
• "No" (or "Off" or 0), which leaves fire trails spawned by the Elemental Shield to be their regular color.
• "Yes" (or "On" or 1), which colors Elemental Shield fire trails with the player's color.

Note that the wad is wadzipped so that it is easier to download from servers, which means if you want to access its innards you'll need to first decompress it with this tool.

Known issues:
• Firing off large numbers of rings (especially those that spawn explosions) at once can cause a lag spike.
• Modifying certain values mid-game or adding the file mid-game may cause some rings to be miscolored until they disappear.
• Firing ring explosions in NiGHTS mode causes the player's trail to briefly change color.

Update 4.3 - FSonic fix
Update 4.2 (initial release) - Console command switcheroo
Update 4.1 - Console command simplification
Update 4.0 - GUI and spinfire colors
Update 3.0 - Secondary colors
Update 2.0 - Pre-release version
Update 1.1 - Console command
• Fixed a bug where, due the the way the GUI works, FSonic's dashmode would not activate. The script still involves some manipulation of player stats, but should be far less invasive now.
• cr_ammo and cr_rings are switched, as requested by professional SRB2 match players from Discord.
• All console commands now begin with "cr_", for even greater ease of use.
• Added a GUI for ease of setting console commands.
• Split the "colorrings" command into "colorammo" and "colorrings", for simplcity's sake and to make the GUI easier to use.
• Changed the "colortrails" command to "colorringtrails", and modified the value set so that trails can be their original color, the player's color, the inverse of the player's color, or the player's secondary color. A lot more choice now!
• Added the command "colorspinfire", which can color Elemental Shield spintrails.
• The file is now wadzipped.

• Added the command "colorspinfire", which can color Elemental Shield spintrails.
• The file is now wadzipped.
• Got rid of thinkers for explosions and sparkles—thanks for pickup up on that, Prime.
• Fixed NiGHTS mode conflicts.
• Added a console command to enable secondary colors.
• Added list of inverse colors for ring trails (if enabled).
• Added support for secondcolor.wad
• Fixed NiGHTS mode conflicts.
• Added a console command to enable secondary colors.
• Added list of inverse colors for ring trails (if enabled).
• Added support for secondcolor.wad
• The console command has been changed into a console variable for simplicity's sake. Here are the slightly modified arguments:
"none" (or 0), which sets all weapon rings to (roughly) their original color.
"all" (or 1), which colors all weapon rings with player colors.
"thrown" (or 2), which only colors rings that are thrown by players.
"pickup" (or 3), which only colors the pickup weapon rings themselves.
• Simplified code by making the hooks call a singular function.
• Proximity-based ring coloration now takes the z-axis into account.
• I was able to make the ring sparkles player-colored! Yes, that includes rail rings and bomb ring explosions.
"none" (or 0), which sets all weapon rings to (roughly) their original color.
"all" (or 1), which colors all weapon rings with player colors.
"thrown" (or 2), which only colors rings that are thrown by players.

I have included a console command so that server/admin players can customize which rings are colored. The command is "colorrings", which can be followed by any of these arguments:
"off" (or 0), which sets weapon rings to their original color.
"on" (or 1), which colors all weapon rings.
"thrown" (or 2), which only colors rings that are thrown by players.
"pickup" (or 3), which only colors the pickup weapon rings themselves.
"off" (or 0), which sets weapon rings to their original color.
"on" (or 1), which colors all weapon rings.
"thrown" (or 2), which only colors rings that are thrown by players.
"pickup" (or 3), which only colors the pickup weapon rings themselves.
