LWOTC ADVENT Back In Black

Description
This is a small LWOTC mod that switches the color of all the new ADVENT units (but not the new alien types) to the classic black/while/red colors used by vanilla XCOM 2.

As long as I'm here, thanks very much to @Hobbes___ for making this available. I've always used it for LWotC campaigns, and it's great to know that I can keep the enemies from that mod in Covert Infiltration while keeping their uniforms...er...uniform. :)

This comment is a little late, @Mac Dog64 , but I have this working. It's actually really easy. For those wanting to make this work with the LWOTC Standalone Aliens Pack, you'll need to...

1.) Go into the Config folder for this mod, and locate the file called XComLW_AlienVariations.ini

You will need to change the name of this file to: XComWOTC_AlienPackVariations.ini

2.) Open the file that you just renamed. The very first line should read: [LW_AlienPack_Integrated.X2EventListener_AlienCustomization]

You will need to change this to read: [WOTC_AlienPack.X2EventListener_AlienCustomization]

3.) Save and close the file.

That's it! Your ADVENT troopers will now wear the Back In Black colors, regardless of their class. No more ADVENT Rainbow Brigades.

So I tried Multi functional Bathroom's and I think I must have done something wrong as the LWOTC ADVENT units don't appear anymore.

Full scenario, with this in mind, in the LWOTC Alien pack it has this in the config under 'Alien Pack variation', do I change any of this or keep it the same?

And with the 'Back in black' mod, what is the full change I have to do from start to finish?

I haven't got LWOTC but I only want the LWOTC alien pack for my game, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[WOTC_AlienPack.X2EventListener_AlienCustomization] (This is within LWOTC Alien pack)

Does this work if you have the Aliens pack but not Long war of the chosen?

This is brilliant

This mod is like a Christmas miracle. Thank you.

I can confirm that this works with the standalone alien pack if you rename the files, just change the name of the alien variation config file to "XComWOTC_AlienPackVariations" and change the name of the event listener to "WOTC_AlienPack." This will make it override the configs for the standalone instead of the configs for LWOTC, giving you the new skins.

No problem :)

Just had a look at the mod (and there's a ton of new ither ones I'd like to try LOL) and it *might* work but you'll need to ensure that my mod is loaded last.

Again, a standalone alien pack is something I even tried to do for WOTC so I'll definitely look into this in the future, thanks for the heads up.

Fairs, hopefully in the future, great mods all around:)
