Faction Colors

[Ghaust the Moor]

I have noticed that people have been changing faction colors mid campaign. How do they that?

[bobbin]

I assume their editing the descr_sm_factions.txt file as it contains the RGB values for the factions colours.

But I didn't think those would be savegame compatable.

Actually it IS savegame compatible.

BTW-It is made obvious by the fact that people are doing it in mid-game, see some AARs. I have done it myself on a few occasions.

You have to alter the red, green and blue colour levels. A useful link is http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html which will allow you to see the colours and give you the values.
You can also change the shade of the boundries between provinces etc.
Also remeber that the script name for a faction is not it's name in the game IIRC Romanii are the Seleucids.

Here's a big list of various colours you can experiment with. Note that you won't always get the desired effect (in other words, colours might not look the same as in the webpage), hence the "experiment" part.
