What is the use of "Template" in presets.json? about anno-designer

[StingMcRay]

I use the template name for checkers
Also used on the 2205 modules
We use that also on 'preset list' to avoid some menu's from separate anno's

@StingMcRay
Is there a list of all available values for "Template"?
Or are those values come straight from the extracted asset files?

I'm trying to get my head around predefined colors for templates and a list of all templates would be beneficial. I also could create a list by my own if it is necessary.

No, the is not (yet) a Template List, except thus that are in the preset.json file are placed, indeed by extracting the data from the anno rda files; as example :

		{
			"Header": "(A4) Anno 1404",
			"Faction": "PlayerBuildings",
			"Group": "Residence",
			"Identifier": "PeasantHouse",
			"IconFileName": "A4_icon_116_132.png",
			"BuildBlocker": {
				"x": 3,
				"z": 3
			},
			"Template": "ResidenceBuilding",
			"InfluenceRange": 0,
			"InfluenceRadius": 0,
			"Localization": {
				"eng": "Peasant house",
				"ger": "Bauernhaus",
				"pol": "Chata wieśniaka",
				"rus": "Крестьянский дом"
			}
		},

But i can try to make you a list, but then what you need ? Building "Eng" Name and or Identifier and ofc the Template Name?

Ok, thank you for the information.
I will create a list out of presets.json.

My plan is to map a template to a specific color by default. So the user can still change the color, but for those who don't there will be gray roads, blue residences and so on.
The identifier doesn't matter in this case and the template is the least common denominator.

Oke, Probably you need to enable the code in the MainWindows.cs to use that colors.json
and it it possible to set multiple template names (or 'Target Names') under a color definition ?
If you not have a colors.json file i have an AD v7 one on my pc, as we not deliver it anymore sins 8.1
