I haven't played campaign yet but a recent update implemented a global setting for turning of team colors.

Mods only work in custom (multiplayer) games.
Nils 28 May, 2016 @ 10:01am 
Also, what about the buildings and teamcolours?
Nils 28 May, 2016 @ 9:58am 
Hello, How does this work in singleplayer?
Does it remove teamcolours for the enemy in campaigns?
Do enemy tanks wear historical skinpacks (if I have them installed) in singleplayer campaign?

I dont own COH2 because of the ugly teamcolours, but if its now possible to play with historical skinpacks im considering to buy it...

This is a core part of Company of Heroes for me. Can't play with "baby blue."

It is not likely they will change their implementation, as they seem to be overriding Skin Packs and such to give units a certain aesthetic. However, they can always require this Decal Pack and encourage people to use it instead of forcing it off in the Tuning Pack.

Thank you very much. have informed the boys about it, hope it will help me
Greetings Alex

It is likely due to the implementation of those mods. As I mentioned a few posts down, they are probably trying to remove team colors via attributes. I would contact them about it.

Very nice mod, unfortunately does not work with the Generation War (realism mod) and Spearhead - Combat Overhaul. The mod works only for some, not on all vehicles. hope you can help. the other Team Color / Decals removal does not work for me.
Thank you.

finally a usable mob! well done :critical:
WayneZer0 24 Aug, 2015 @ 10:51am 
nice good i hate the team colour tankhs you
eliw00d  [author] 12 Aug, 2015 @ 8:07am 
You are using a Tuning Pack, which means that whatever the Tuning Pack is doing conflicts with the Decal Pack. My guess is that they tried to remove team colors by editing entities in the Attribute Editor, especially since the default Decals are white instead of your team's color.

So, long story short: the Tuning Pack is at fault.

This screenshot displays what currently occurs with Fritzchen's 'Soviet Summer Skin'. All the pictured vehicles show up with overlapping decals, except the IS-2 tank, which always seems unaffected. You are meant to be seeing plain green Soviet vehicles with a red star and some higher-res custom slogans in Cyrillic.

eliw00d  [author] 11 Aug, 2015 @ 6:54pm 
Well, the Decal Pack should work, regardless of other Packs you are using.

Could you show me what you mean by custom skin on top of a default white skin? I am having a hard time picturing that.
Pane Caldo 11 Aug, 2015 @ 4:18pm 
*It was one that Fritzchen made. :P
Pane Caldo 11 Aug, 2015 @ 4:18pm 
It was one of Fritzchen's mode - the Soviet summer one with the red star on green background.

I think it might be the Spearhead mod doing it now. It gives you access to King Tigers and other tanks if you're the Ostheer (depending on which of the mod's commanders you pick), which you wouldn't normally have. Sometimes custom skin packs work fine if I'm playing Ostheer and build certain tanks (like the Panzer IV), but they don't work for others - they'll work for the King Tiger, but the Stug III (long and short barrel versions) will have the custom skin on top of a default white skin. I'm going to ask the modders if there's anything they can do about it, since I'd hate to abandon it just to be able to use custom skins - still a little buggy, but even with limited modding tools I think it's better than the vanilla game in every respect.
eliw00d  [author] 11 Aug, 2015 @ 9:41am 
Interesting. What skin is that? I can look into why it might conflict.

Otherwise, you got it to work?
Pane Caldo 11 Aug, 2015 @ 9:34am 
I think it's just a problem with one skin in particular that requires maximum image quality settings or something. The other ones seem to work okay. Thanks for the advice, anyway!
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 5:19pm 
That sounds like something worth trying. Can't do any harm, right? Eh, any harm it does I can probably fix easy enough by resubbing manually. Thanks, I'll give it a try!
eliw00d  [author] 10 Aug, 2015 @ 4:26pm 
It was just a test to try. Strange that it is not working for you. It runs fine for me with custom Skin Packs, Tuning Packs, and Win Condition Packs. Maybe try deleting all of the .sga files in Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2\mods\decals\subscriptions and letting Steam Workshop download them again (outside of the game)?
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 12:50pm 
No, all custom win conditions turned off. No change.
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 12:19pm 
Hmmm. Well, the whole reason I'm using a blank decal mod is for the custom skin packs, but I can certainly try running it without the custom win conditions.
eliw00d  [author] 10 Aug, 2015 @ 11:40am 
Are you using a custom Win Condition Pack? There is actually an option that disables Decal Packs from being used, maybe they set that to true? Try running without a Win Condition Pack, no Skin Packs, and just the Blank Canvas. It should work.
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 11:00am 
As an example, I run the Spearhead mod and use one of Fritzchen's Soviet Summer skin packs - the one with the red star on a green background. The vehicles turn up with his skin overlapping the default team colours (in this case, they are white).
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 10:57am 
Other decal packs seem to work fine. Other skins load as well. I just can't seem to have the skins without any decals.

Just looked through the warnings file. A whole lot of text I didn't understand how to read, but I Ctrl+F'd BlankCanvas and nothing came up. Searching "decal" brought up a block of text that looked like it was about the mods I subscribed to, but there was nothing obviously suspicious in that part of the file.

Will try revalidating game files again.
eliw00d  [author] 10 Aug, 2015 @ 10:04am 
Check your warnings.log for any errors related to BlankCanvas. You can find it in Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2.

Do other Decal Packs work for you?
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 9:03am 
Yep, that's right. I checked the in-game Workshop menu to be sure. I also waited a bit after starting up the game, to let all the subscribed stuff load in. Tried refreshing the Workshop page, also tried unsubbing & resubbing.
eliw00d  [author] 10 Aug, 2015 @ 5:52am 
Barbas, so you subscribed, then you equipped it in the Decal Slot of your inventory, and the decals are not removed in-game?
georider 10 Aug, 2015 @ 3:46am 
It's working properly for all fuctions it's a very usefull tool for all of us making custom skins
Pane Caldo 10 Aug, 2015 @ 3:37am 
No, this one doesn't work either. I think it might be some weird game update that did it. I unchecked the British Forces DLC in the Steam game menu, since that kept bringing up an update notification in the main menu.
eliw00d  [author] 9 Aug, 2015 @ 6:45pm 
It should work, but let me know if it doesn't and I can help you figure out why!
Pane Caldo 9 Aug, 2015 @ 4:42pm 
Thanks for this. I saw you recommend it in a forum post. I'm returning to it after trying a few others that didn't work right. Validated the game files. Let's see how it goes this time...
georider 31 Jul, 2015 @ 4:13am 
Nice Work, that maybe what I need to make skins again. PM for more details here, thanks .
eliw00d  [author] 26 Jul, 2015 @ 6:20pm 
Glad it is helpful! You're welcome. :)
Waynes World Rox 26 Jul, 2015 @ 10:33am 
Awesome stuff just what I needed, your work is always great, thank you...
Darkside II7 20 Jul, 2015 @ 8:57am 
Perfect,thank's!
eliw00d  [author] 24 Jun, 2015 @ 4:46am 
@Advisor
Yes, and neutral vehicles as well. There is no way around it, other than to have the people you play with use the same decal.
Advisor 24 Jun, 2015 @ 2:36am 
Good. But enemies and teammates still have a colours(
グローザ 23 Jun, 2015 @ 11:47pm 
Nice one. Finally can avoid seeing those team colours when testing my mod. :)
eliw00d  [author] 23 Jun, 2015 @ 7:49pm 
Sure thing! :)
