German Map Colors Overhaul

Description
Welcome!
This mod changes the map colors of German related nations intended originally to get rid of specifically the hideous color of the NGF and Austria-Hungary of base game Victoria 3, however I figured it would be nice to do the majority of major German nation's overall.

This is my first ever paradox game mod; please be patient, I'm still learning how to code. By the way, this was originally developed for a friend and I, but I figured I'd post it to the public anyway.

WHAT DOES IT DO?
》North German Federation to a 50/50 mix of German Gray and Prussian Blue (also similar to North German culture map color)
》South German Federation to a shade of cyan similar to the color of the South German culture map color
》Germany to a generic gray, reminiscent of German colors in most other paradox games
》Austria-Hungary to a similar shade of the rusty Victoria 2 Austria-Hungary's color
》Dictatorial/Fascist Germany to a lighter tan/brown color reminiscent of fascism usually being associated with brown or dark gray colors, and in reference to the German Brownshirts

SIDE NOTE: I did not change Communist Germany's green color cause, to me, it actually fits pretty well. It reminds me of some cold war inspired mods of HoI4 and (if i'm not wrong, I don't actually remember) I believe communist Germany's color in HoI4 is a similar shade of green to Vic3's version).

P.S. Please remember to upvote the mod if you enjoy it, thanks!

New update has been finished, hope everyone enjoys the new colors and compatibility to the new 1.2 update!

Hello everyone! Just to give everyone information on whats going on with the 1.2 update for Victoria 3 (which itself it actually looking pretty optimistic for the game's future). Letting everyone know, their will be an update of this mod when version 1.2 comes out. Also might be changing the SGF's color due to it being extremely similar to Sardinia-Piedmont's color on the map. Please let me know a better alternative to a color for the SGF, suggestions are open until v1.2 comes out.

110% agree, literally just had to fix some minor parts of the mod (literally nothing is different in-game). Yet, Victoria 3 has to whine and say, "sorry you can't play the save cause the checksum is different, this is definitely the most mod friendly game of paradox guys". It really pisses me off, one day after another I get more pissed off at this shitass game. Paradox really needs to stop making half-ass games then sell overpriced DLCs for features that should already be in base game, they really need to step their shit up.

Unfortunately not, it was a necessary fix for an aspect of the mod and steam workshop information however It won't update again anytime soon (since I don't update this regularly). Once again sorry everyone, just got to start a new game.

Yeah the checksum comparison is just frustrating in the "moding friendliest PDX-Game ever", when a minor update to a tiny mod changes your checksum :X

Can we revert to the prior version to continue playing existing saves?

The only time I'd update it is if I'd change any colors, and as of now I have no plans too, I work on mods for other games anyway. After all, this game is kinda a joke at the moment until they get their major patches in.

True but I only updated it for a quick fix this one time. I won't be regularly updating it so their really wouldn't be a use.
