I would like a slight shift in the hues of the photon spectrum.

Currently:

red - yellow - green - aqua - blue

Proposed:

red-orange - yell-green - green-blue - blue-green - blue-violet

Or maybe:

red - yellow - green - aqua - violet

(This suggestion may break old saves. There should be a Photon Shift mode, similar to Ambient Heat and Newtowanian Gravity modes.)

It would also make sense to have an intensity value of the spectral lines. Simply adding tmp as a half-intensity marker would work. (CTYPE data would describe emitting of the wavelength at full intensity, and TMP would describe emitting at half-intensity.) (This won't break old saves.)

Uses:

Shift:

* Create spectral blue-violet laser, using corrospending light.

Shift Alternative:

* Create spectral violet laser, using violet light.

Intensity:

* Easy peasy purple laser, using half-intensity red and blue.

* Photons make more sense with intensity.

Simon:

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, is this a change to the way photons or FILT works? Currently, FILT has some undocumented modes where it can Add, subtract and filter colours based on it's TMP value.

TMP	Action	Example
0	Assign	A red photon passes through a green filter, the photon becomes green
1	Filter	A turquoise (green + blue) photon passes through a purple (blue + red) filter, the filter removes any colour that isn't red or blue, photon becomes blue
2	Add	A green photon passes through a red filter, the red is added to the colour and the photon becomes orange (red + green)
3	Subtract	A white (red + green + blue) photon passes through a purple (blue + red) filter, the blue and red are removed and it becomes green

I understand these, but this is not my suggestion.

I suggested a change to the photons. Better explained:

I think we should change the colours that make up the photon spectrum.

red -> red-orange

yellow -> yellow-green

green -> green-aqua

aqua -> aqua-blue

blue -> blue-violet

 

I think we should also allow half-intensity spectra in photons.

EX. dark pink photons.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to act on fewer photons instead of acting on half-intensity spectral properties.

Reply to Edit: Good spotting out! However, as the change is very little, little of the community would say no.
