Yeah, I've seen that too, with or without this mod. I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect MOCX is spawning them in on the Advent team, and then after the fact Rebellious MOCX is switching them if it rolls it.

another issue I wanna bring up, thou its mostly minor.
When using rebellious MOCX, they'll be the color I asign then for a sec, and then turn completely into red color HP bars. Of course I say minor, cuz saving and reloading the save seems to correct them to their appropriate color that I chose for them

Thanks! glad you like it.

The color of the shield bars is handled by UFE, this mod can only indirectly affect it if the hp and shield bars are set in UFE to use the icon color. That said, I changed my UFE shield settings to see if I could replicate it. I've played a few missions that way and seen both friendly and enemy shield bars in the new color, none in yellow. I'll keep it set like that for now, but I'm guessing something in your config is messing with that .ini (or a tweak mod that is supposed to be changing it isn't).

I think this might override ablative health color too, since in UFE I have that health ber set to like a light cyan color for everyone, enemy included, and with this mod on it goes back to its dark yellowish default color, and i dont think UFE has updatedrecently after march.

Minor inconvenience, but neat mod

@LeyShade Wow, that is a lot of mods! At least they look well organized.

I was wondering if there was an ulterior motive, at first your questions seemed like idle curiosity, but then they got oddly specific. Glad to be of help.

The possibilities ...

@EvilBob22 - Thank you for your time and clarification. I manage the AML O+E , which redoes a lot of the factions to be able to cross-deploy and psuedo-ally (at least, thematically explain away them being on the same teams), with custom encounter lists, followers and sitrep exclusions to enable this.

In the mean time, we will intergrate your handy tool here to make sure all factions have a unique colour, and then figure out our further options in regard to UFE per time constraints.

We second Rusty that if someone else made it as a standalone mod, or ports our version to standalone if not done before, that would be a huge boon to the community that uses UFE =)

Thank you for your time and work EvilBob22 =)

You really only need UFE if you are going to put in all that work though, it can all be done through its .ini. (I'm not sure I'm the one to put in all that effort...)

There could be an interesting mix too: you could get a similar effect with less work by setting this mod to one color for the general faction units while using another color in UFE specifically for that faction's group leaders. Not quite a rainbow, but at least there would be some variety.

Custom colour overrides for UFE for each raider Faction **per template name** .... now that would be a config-warriors dream !!

It was exhausting enough just to type up the special bar colours for the rulers!

But that is a very very cool idea - maybe someone will make such a mod...

By "allied factions" I assume you aren't talking about allied to XCom, like resistance fighters, but rather, different 3rd party factions, like bandits and GOC. If they are allowed to both show up in the same mission (not normally the case), they will all be the same color -- the setting is team-wide. As to which color, it would be whichever is last in the list of color overrides that apply.

You could get a rainbow target bar using Unit Flag Extended, but it would be a bit of work to set that scenario that up. UFE can set colors for specific units based on their unit template (it's how it makes the unique colors for leaders). However, there are lots of unit templates; an Advent Trooper is a different template than an Advanced Trooper, and a 3 HP lost is a different template than a 4 HP lost. The bandit mod has a relatively low number of templates, but it still has 21. Set all bandit templates to one color, all GOC to another, allow them on the same mission, and you've got it.

@EvilBob22 - Following on from question 2:

Where there is setups that feature allied factions, or custom configuration to present certain factions as being on the same team, is the colour selected for each team assigned by the first sitrep of that type applied to the mission, or chosen at random from sitreps present on the mission?

@LeyShade
1) Yes, Advent red is one of the color options and the game always changes flanked units to flanking yellow, no matter what their normal color is.

2) Sort of. During any one mission each team is limited to one color. So each faction/group could have their own color, but you'll only see one at a time (two if you have a team one faction and a team two faction present).

@EvilBob22 - Just to clarify, both of the following scenarios are possible with this:

1) All factions, enemies and such can be changed to Advent Red, with Flanking Yellow for flanking shots.

2) If desired, every faction/group can have it's own designated colour, so the icon bar looks like a psychedelic rainbow?

Yes, although honestly I had that option in MoreIcons2020 set to "false" to not change color most of the time. It should still work in theory since MI2020 a) has the "as long as it wasn't already changed" code in it too and b) it is set to normal run order. I'll play with it some more, but not expecting any issues.

I saw it .. and dreaded the consistency with UFE .. so I'm glad you tested with this.
I actually have something similar in the MoreIcons2020 mod, did you check with that active too ?
