I activated this midgame, instead of replacing old color to new one, now i have various ore map color. Uninstalling the mod didn't revert this.
So how do i revert the map view ?

I dont know what the problem by you is, because by me and other Guys its all fine. Its only changing the data raw not more, that isnt possible that there are other colors on the Map.

If the mod just has a data.lua and defines updates to data.raw inside of that, and you encounter bugs/artifacts after removing/disabling the mod, report this as a bug.
A mod has no control over anything once it has been deactivated.

This will refresh map to current view.
Also, isn't stone a little too similar in color to oil?

could you make mod which will write ore name(maybe on hover over ore field) instead changing color of it? I play with bob's mods and its nearly impossible to recognize ores.

that would be good too. i am not coder, but couldn't you find some workaround? there can already be text on map (player names or trains station names) so if you could just place it on ore field, it would be more than enough.

Yes and no. You could put invisible train stations on the ore field, but then their names would also pop up in the station list of trains...
You could workaround that by reacting to a GUI being opened and then deleting all the artificial stations, only to re-create then when the GUI closes. But that seems overkill.

I'm not good with coding thinks like that. I can only code some small thinks not more.
