Any chance of having Pirates of Sartosa? Theres only The Drowned for Vampire Coast.

A must have mod at this point, especially if vanilla unit saturation gets annoying.

@matthew39 "Warhammer 1 Texture Update Project" mod does that if you're interested

Love your colour tweaks!

Probably not the best mod of yours to suggest this, but would it be possible to add faction colouring/team colour masking to Engineer, Engineer Lord and Huntsmarshall?

(they all use red by default)

nice, the vanilla color saturation is WAY too cartoony, I would not even mind less saturation, but still S+ mod

@holyredeye sorry I don't know this mod but by all means try it and find out, this mod doesn't reskin anything just changes faction colours
Elixar111  [author] 17 Dec, 2024 @ 11:46pm 
@ligma this mod does lower the saturation a bit for quite a lot of the playable factions that were overly saturated yes (each faction is reskinned on an individual basis though, there isn't a global 'saturation reduction' or anything)

@sylphy that would need to be a mod which retextures stone trolls to remove the faction colour mask from the loincloth which isn't really something I would cover in this mod, there may be one out there that does this
Sylphy 17 Dec, 2024 @ 10:57am 
There is some way to change color of the loincloth of stone trolls ,They would look better without color like common trolls
Ligma Bababooey 16 Dec, 2024 @ 10:36am 
does this mod lowers the color saturation ?
HolyRedEye 13 Dec, 2024 @ 9:55pm 
Can I use it with Amber's Armored Megapack reskin mod?
C0untZer0 12 Dec, 2024 @ 11:09pm 
when will you have time to update?

3. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963313913&searchtext=The+Warhost+of+Zharr - Warhost of Zharr Recolor

4. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com /sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855672386&searchtext=Har+Ganeth - [EoM] Guv's Red Colored Har Ganeth (WH3). I like the red color of the Har Ganeth faction flag

5. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id =2856078953&searchtext=Argwylon - [EoM] Guv's Bark Brown Argwylon Recolor Mod (WH3). I like that the Argwylon faction is in brown woody colors (like their flag) as befits forest spirits

6. Is it possible to change the colors of the Pirates of Sartosa faction to the colors that their "imperial clone" had. I like the flag of Aranessa (The Swordfysh) from Grand Alliance.
Wandering 15 Nov, 2024 @ 7:22am 
Hi!) Thank you so much for your wonderful mod!) I love your reskin mod and can't play the game without your mod! I would really like you to add the following mods to your mod. I like these 6 mods, but they are not updated, and some of them conflict with your mod. There are only 6 of them, please add them to your mod:

1. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940940273&searchtext=Cult+of+Sigmar - more red-ish Cult of Sigmar

2. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964078039&searchtext=Warhost+of+Zharr - Warhost of Zharr Reskin. Please apply this color palette for the Disciples of Hashut faction

Just gonna chime in and say that I LOVE the new Bloody Sunz-look.

Excellent work!
Burusagi 17 Jul, 2024 @ 9:16am 
'preciate you looking into it, my dude.
Elixar111  [author] 16 Jul, 2024 @ 11:16pm 
@Burusagi I hadn't played Bloody Handz in ages but I agree with you the white doesn't look great, I've changed it so it's more of a light leathery colour
Burusagi 16 Jul, 2024 @ 1:40pm 
Any chance you could look over Wurrzag's Bloody Hand boyz? I love how their red warpaint is more visible but them all wearing bright white loincloths makes it look like they're wearing tighty-whiteys or worse... diapers! :P
Elixar111  [author] 3 Jul, 2024 @ 12:16am 
@Imperator Thanks for letting me know, should be fixed now.

Explanation (if anyone wants to know):

This mod doesn't retexture any units, for some reason In Patch 5.1 CA went around adding tertiary colour masks to series of units/props at seemingly at random and by default most factions have black as the tertiary colour because it isn't used making these areas appear black on the models. CA also sneakily changed all the vanilla high elf tertiary colours to white in this patch as well though so that it wouldn't show up giving the impression that this mod was causing a bug by making the armour black on certain units. In reality I've no idea why CA has gone around adding tertiary colours masks, if you spot any more similar issues let me know.
Imperator 1 Jul, 2024 @ 10:24am 
Hi, I noticed that with your mod enabled I have texture bugs on some high elves units. Silverin guard's shield turned black and the ror chrace lions are totally black too
Zeonist decolonizer 28 Jun, 2024 @ 7:14am 
@Elixar111 Thx for the explanation, that clears a lot for me.
Elixar111  [author] 28 Jun, 2024 @ 6:55am 
@Zeonist By default the mask.dds includes RGB channels which determine how the faction colours are applied to the corresponding texture. The Red channel is the uniform primary colour, Green channel is the uniform secondary colour and Blue channel is the uniform tertiary colour (although very few units in the game use tertiary).

In terms of whether this can be altered to apply colours other than the Uniform colour Primary, Secondary, Tertiary I'm not sure but the mask.dds Alpha channel is also used to apply vfx to some units (like the icy effect on the frost maiden eyes etc.) but I'm not entirely sure how this gets determined. Best bet would be to route around in the files of the reskin mods you download.
Zeonist decolonizer 28 Jun, 2024 @ 5:53am 
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what determines the colors applied to the mask.dds.

Context: I tried tweaking the colour schemes and realised some faction reskin mods draw their uniform color from Primary Colour instead of Uniform Colour Primary.

Thx.
Elixar111  [author] 26 Jun, 2024 @ 10:27pm 
@Omnplayer sure go for it
Omnplayer 26 Jun, 2024 @ 3:25pm 
Would it be okay if I made a version of this with compatibility with Unique UI?
Elixar111  [author] 25 Jun, 2024 @ 3:54am 
Mod Updated for Patch 5.1, pre-empting comments that the mod doesn't work with the new custom battle faction colour display (the two little coloured squares) - this is a issue on CA's end, for some reason they made it so that the squares show the banner colours, not the uniform colours. Why they've done it this way I've no idea, I would basically consider it a bug. It's pretty much 50:50 whether the banner and uniform colours match up even in vanilla.
ArchVegan 2 Jun, 2024 @ 8:38am 
Thanks for the Cylostra update! Think we'll ever get one for Aranessa to make her color scheme match her white and yellow banners too?
Weteran 5 May, 2024 @ 12:28pm 
Theres only few who play her :)
I notice it when i checking open hands on zombies, than i realise CA screw up (from immortal release) mask on all missile zombies, even ROR ones, and theeen... i notice Sartosa and cylostra use yellow as primary color.
It's most noticeable on zombie deckhands mob
Cylostra= yellow trousers with blue stripes, Aranessa= yellow trousers with black stripes.
Noctilus also use black as secondary color, but i dont think its big deal.
Elixar111  [author] 5 May, 2024 @ 12:08pm 
@Weteran I don't think I'd ever really played as Cylostra but I had a look and I agree with you, it makes more sense for the colours to be reversed, I've updated the mod with this changed :)
Weteran 5 May, 2024 @ 10:48am 
Hi, what would you say about to swap colors for the Cylostra faction, i think she uses now yellow as a primary and blue for secondary, to make her more distinguished from Sartosa who use Yellow/Black.
For Super Earth 3 May, 2024 @ 5:31am 
One of the most underrated mods, it has greatly improved my gaming experience.
tactical juggalo 26 Apr, 2024 @ 12:53am 
hello idk why it doesnt work for me, boris boys still look purple
The Mannis 17 Mar, 2024 @ 3:14am 
Is there any way for me to keep only your Ursun Revivalists change? Thank you
Vahdrak 22 Feb, 2024 @ 11:50am 
will be update of the mod bc of the new patch of shadows of change??
Elixar111  [author] 14 May, 2023 @ 12:44am 
@Gman9090 I didn't make a mod for WH2 no although there are some out there which just change banners. For my part the banners which this mod changes are for consistency with the changes to the faction colours so wouldn't really make sense to do one without the other. I'm not sure about compatibility with Hooveric as I don't use it but don't see why it wouldn't be, it depends on whether Hooveric makes changes to faction colours itself (I used Hooveric in WH2 and think it does change a few) but feel free to give it a go!
Gman9090 13 May, 2023 @ 9:37pm 
@Elixar11
Gman9090 13 May, 2023 @ 9:37pm 
Did you happen to make a MOD that only changes the Faction Banners? I loved the one's for WH2... Great MOD thank you for making this... I'm guessing it is not compatible with Hooveric's Faction reskin?
☬The Maharaja of Punjab☬ 13 Mar, 2023 @ 5:24pm 
I agree with Starlord
Starlord 13 Mar, 2023 @ 4:50pm 
Hey Elixar,

Its me, your boy, starlord. Just coming to see if you could release them individually again. Many thanks for this beautiful mod.
Roninx2 20 Feb, 2023 @ 1:39pm 
I would kill for just for the goldtooth colour on it's own
Malganyr 20 Oct, 2022 @ 10:17am 
Hello can you do the same for Tomb Kings ? Like Arkhan previous colors from TWW2 were more better than actual colors
Starlord 10 Oct, 2022 @ 4:17pm 
Love your colours for a lot of factions. Been using it since you first released it.
Starlord 10 Oct, 2022 @ 4:17pm 
Would you be able to release any of them individually? I am using a couple different faction colouring packs: Yours | Heraldy | Faction Colour Change but I can't overwrite the ones I want from yours without having the ones I do not want.
Omnplayer 6 Oct, 2022 @ 9:37pm 
Could you do a sub mod for Unique UI as well?
WalhallBerserker 4 Oct, 2022 @ 9:24am 
Could you do a submod for tabletop heraldry immortal empires mod please!?
Fantastic Mr. Fox 17 Sep, 2022 @ 8:51pm 
Could you change Ostermark to have their loreful purple/yellow color scheme?
Elixar111  [author] 14 Sep, 2022 @ 2:56am 
@nex0320 Zhao Ming / Western Provinces colour is largely the same. If Miao Ying / Northern Provinces colours aren't changed for you then you must have another mod conflicting with this one.
nex0320 8 Sep, 2022 @ 7:01pm 
i don't know why, but cathay color dosent changed at all
GoatScream 6 Sep, 2022 @ 9:18pm 
Nice mod, but I prefer the blue/white middenland, that is literally their colour on the book army
Elixar111  [author] 29 Aug, 2022 @ 8:50am 
@rome2 Zhao Ming's primary colour I didn't change because it matches the colour of his armour and fits his faction reasonably well IMO, only the secondary colour is changed from light green to white (only really affects the hero cloaks and magistrate unit card).
