Manual change player color?

Post by mrgenie »

I searched for "playercolor" and "player color" and "change player color" here in the forum and nothing came up so I guess no one ever asked about this.

But how do I change the color?

Germany has a color it's almost impossible for me to find out where there is supply or not (well if it's over 50% it's visible but below 50% kinda gets lost on the terrain color)

I found in the options.ini a playerccolor like 0xFF646464, 0xFF0064FF, 0xFFE63C3C, 0xFFFFFF00... etc
but how am I supposed to figure out the German color? :)

Maybe a GUI addition to allow players to change the color?

You'll need to go into the cvp file for the sandbox you're playing. These files can be found in your map folder. For example, for the 1914 sandbox, you'll want to open the SR1914.cvp file in an editor such as notepad++. From there, find your nation's entry and then look for regioncolor. I haven't messed with this myself, but I assume this will do what you're looking for. :)

Yes, I don't believe you can change country color in game. There's currently no way to edit saved games.

you are correct, works only for games started after the edit...

Check this topic - viewtopic.php?f=79&t=25240&sid=bfdbf151 ... 36e31c900f
As described there you can edit only scenario file to set region's color. For example i set Washington color to blue in Shattered world scenario by adding this lines to the scenario file:
&&CVP 2907
regioncolor 0xff0000CC
&&END
