Colour co-ordinate pill bottles

[louisloftcraft]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Hey, so I have been playing as a medic for a while and I find it quite time consuming reading the labels on pill bottles. It would save crucial time being able to identify what type of pills on sight than having to read them all out until you finally find the ones you want and the patient dies. It would be easy to to do, blue for Delaxin , red for Bicardine etc. Also syringe cases doesn't hold pill bottles please fix that.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
saves time, makes the game look even cooler and makes Ivan happy

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
you can change the whole entire pixel or just simply change the colour of the labels on the pill bottles.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Dispensers and medical cases have or dispense coloured pill bottles.

+1, assuming the expectation is that the bottles don't change color if you change their contents. Also, generic bottles from boxes should look awful generic, maybe give the option to change their colour with a pen/labeller in the future?

[Casgair]

Absolutely +1. I would love if we could change the pill bottle sprite (possibly label it as well) in the ChemMaster in the same way we set pill sprites, carrying around a full belt of pills that shuffle slots means a lot of unpleasant mouse overing.

It wouldn't be too hard to make the extra sprites, too, you could do color changes to the bottle body, label or cap and be set.

+1, QoL boost.

[doodeeda]

Would like this very much.

[KingKire]

+1, i think it would be nice, as well as having the ability to recolor pill bottle caps.

[Swagile]

Please.

Takes a long time to look through all my pill bottles, especially in the heat of battle.

Color coded would help a lot.

[Crab_Spider]

+1 For those moments the deligent and determined medic/everyman needs to get those Dex+ pills and doesn't have a macro or lacks the focus to pay attention to the labels.

[butters742]

+1 or even having a labelers that labels colours instead.

[Imperator_Titan]

+1, they gave auto-injectors custom sprites so why not do the same for pill bottles? Anyways, it helps save me time from hovering over all of my pill bottles.

[Kerek]

//-1 for the spelling of color

jk, +1 this is a great idea it was probaby planned but who knows.

[louisloftcraft]

Posting from EST timezone. On some servers, aren't there two ways of labelling pill bottles, with a pen, and with a labeller?

Example:
Before: Pill Bottle
After Labeller: Pill Bottle (Labeller Here)
After Pen: Pen Label (Labeller Here)

Therefore you could make 20 unit bicard. Using a pen you could then change the name to
Bicardine pill bottle (20 units)
or
Bicardine 20 units pill bottle (max dose 1)

This segues into- give chem crayons or coloured pens- each pill sprite would just need the label text changed to different colours.

Example: A pill bottle changed with the green crayon.

Yeah this is a massive quality of life change I'd really like to see as a medic. Even just a handful of colours (RBG) would go a long way.

[alekfenrir]

Same, I opened a diff suggestion for this before noticing this one existed, great QOL change for the medics.

[WinterClould]

Would be lovely. Its annoying sometimes to sort out which of my pill bottles are which. A little colour would go a long way. +1
