As stated in the subject line, just a heads-up that when you turn headline effects off in cheat mode, you will then be unable to change the intensity or color of lights. The cheat seems to prevent the light palette from being displayed.
@BryonyRae Was this ever fixed ?
Nope. Still an issue.
And it still wasn't fixed. I was about to take some screenshots and need to turn the headline effects off.
When I wanted to change the colour of a wall light I noticed that the palette did not come up.
Would be cool if they would fix it one day....
I was never aware this was a bug. Is it? The cheat basically blocks anything pop-up relating, and since we have to be in Live Mode to change colour/intensity, I can see it being rightfully recognized as a "pop-up". The cheat also prevents you seeing the name of a townie if you mouse over them, which also seems to make sense. I always assumed it was a normal part of the cheat.
I think that you're right,@ju1ka, in that the palette has apparently been classified/built as a headline effect, but I consider it a bug because hiding it is actually blocking functionality (vs. hiding the plumb bob, thought bubbles, etc.). I don't think that the coding is executing incorrectly; I just think it needs to be re-written so that the color palette is re-categorized or handled as an exception and not blocked from view.
Oh yeah, makes sense of course. To be honest I never understood why they decided to take light intensity/colour function out of Build Mode and put it in Live Mode. It makes changing the intensity/colour of invisible lights impossible.
This problem STILL exists!!!
