not working with the new launcher

I see my bad then and btw its a very good mod keep up the good work :)

@Zexal Yeah, that's the color picker mod that I usually mention as incompatible. This just happens to be the older mod page for Vivid Hair Color so the info is far less up to date.

I mean "One Million Colors" my bad

Not sure if this was mentioned but can confirm "One Million Armor Colors" conflict with this mod

@GothikaGeist
OK perfect! thank you :)

@lelesiriosc
I think remember something like that... yeah I think it's normal. I just added more colors to the form and didn't touch the vanilla palette. As you know my mod is essentially just a modified vanilla palette file with thousands more colors. Just FYI, the colors you see in the colorform, in the Unreal Engine/Modding Kit, are NOT representative of the colors as shown in-game. I also found that the color forms use a strange hex code to achieve it's color. Every hex code is preceded by "FF" even though that isn't the case in general outside the modding kit.

@GothikaGeist
ok, thanks anyway :) instead I noticed that in the color selection there are 3 lines of 21 colors all black the same, is this normal?

@lelesiriosc
I don't know the exact steps. Just that it's possible.

@GothikaGeist
ok, wanting how to do it?

@lelesiriosc
Maybe. But it's an "either / or" scenario. You can have either the default armor colors or Vivid Hair Color palette for armors.

Hi, is there a way to add all these colors to armor?

I've just recently got back into modding XCOM2 and I can confirm that the mod does function correctly with War of the Chosen. I'm not aware of what other mods might be incompatible except other hair color mods and possibly the old "color switcher" mod.

The only real solution I can offer anyone who can't get the mod working correctly is to install "Alternative Mod Launcher" (AML): https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

My understanding is that the release of Chimera Squad and it's 2K launcher basically destroys mod setups and causes a ton of weird issues (the specifics of how/why are beyond me).

Download AML and use it as your PRIMARY METHOD TO MOD AND PLAY XCOM 2.

@名字真难取
It works fine in WotC, use the alternate mod launcher. See my previous post.

I wonder why it not works with wotc, is it the launcher's fault or I lose something

is there a update so this work with the wotc and the more recent updates

Great mod.

@Akali★
2K's new launcher is rubbish, use a good one: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

i'm having a problem with this mod, i used to play this without a problem on WOTC, why now it doesn't work on WOTC for me anymore? it appears that yellow sign on the launcher, and doesn't work in game, am i missing something or?

anyway we could somehow get this color pallet avialabe for armors as well?

@Nigel Thornberry:
Oh. So you're saying the "black" in this mod is intenionally a blue-black? And the black-black is in your version?

I must be mis-remembering things. Not for the first time...

@Dragon32 @Mr. Bibbles
Thats not the case, its actually a dark blue, i actually have a friends only conversion of this mod into armor colors i cut a lot of the har color varients but kept most of the colors, including black and its a black black not blue-black.

@Mr. Bibbles:
There's "More Armor Colors", but I seem to remember reading something that black being blue is caused by the game itself.

Is there a version of this color pallet for Armor? I want to equip my guys with black armor, not Dark, dark, dark blue. =\

Where are the 50 shades of gray?? Jk, great job here

Works well with WoTC. Have installed mid game without issue :)

@Eth

I'll take your word for it. I don't even own WotC in order to test it.

@GothikaGeist

I'm testing it on WotC now. Two or three missions in with no issues.

Probably not compatible with WOTC, and I don't have the time in the near future to even attempt to make it compatible.

Try though I might, I have not been able to get any additional hair color functionality, and I have no other mods that conflict with this for function.

Anyone know if this is WOTC Compatible?

War of the Chosen ? :(

Or grab More Armor Colors

Its not terribly difficult to convert the hair colors into armors, i will agree that it is very time consuming. Ive taken about half of the colors of this mod and made my own armor color mod out of this pack with most of the natural hair colors removed.

Its basically adding the colors one by one to a list and took me about 3-4 hours to convert to an armor color pallet. (That mod is currently friends only as i do not wish to step on the author of this mods toes).

Is it possible you could do this for the armours? <3

@Vorcheski

It takes a long time. I'm currently modding Fallout 4 and that also takes a long time.

If you could do this for the armors, that would be awesome.

@Nicholas

Thanks, I'll try to look into it this summer.

I see. It does sound incredibly tedious. Hopefully yourself or someone will get around to it. The color mods we have now just aren't..tactical.. Either way, hope your current modding endeavours are going well! Best of luck!

@Nicholas


The problem is that adding colors in an XCOM 2 color palette is very time consuming.

It's done using a list, and the colors in the palette are like thin strips in the list. So let's say I'm working, at minimum, with around 1,000 shades of color. Every time I add another color to the list it resets me to the top and then I have to scroll down 1,000 shades of color to reach the new one.

But that's the best case scenario, working right at the final color. With the way I align colors to the 7x7 grid it takes extra work to make sure nothing gets messed up.

Very time consuming, and incredibly boring work.

@Nicholas

I haven't modded XCOM 2 in a long time, so I don't actually remember if it was that simple to do.

That said, I tend to "curate" the colors I use for my mods. Usually I start with a base color and then decide how I want to divide it into the 7x7 grid. I assume I'll be using the same method/formula I used with Vivid Hair Color Extended (for XCOM 2) in order to save time.
In which I had 7 total 7x7 grids for EACH color, 343 shades per color. That's almost as much as this original mod (350) just for each of the 3 main colors

Thank you very much for your response, I'm curious, is it not possible to simply get the colors you have here to apply to armors instead of hair, and upload it as a seperate mod? Or is it simply not that simple? I know very little about the intricies of modding, so I don't pretend to have any real knowledge it.

Either way, I hope you consider it, armors are in desperate need of more color freedom.

@Nicholas

Maybe one day. I've just released Vivid Hair Color Extended for Fallout 4, so I'm working on that. That said, creating individual colors for XCOM 2 is really time consuming. If I do it anythng like my second version of this mod, Vivid Hair Color Eextended (for XCOM 2), there would be around 1,000 shades of color. That shit takes forever.

Any possibility you could do something like this but with Armor colors? There's one mod that does armor colors as well but it's no where near as extensive as this. I have been DYING for a true black color that isn't an incredibly deep deep deep dark blue.

Vivid Hair Color Extended released, 1,049 shades of color in total!

@Dragon32 @Ueberlappen

Maybe one day, but as of recently I got hit with exams and such. Especailly since I'm trying to go hard and learn Japanese as well. Vivid Hair ColorV2 has been on the brink of completeion for a few weeks now but I haven't found the time to sit down and update that last batch of colors and upload.

@Ueberlappen
Until and unless GothikaGeist releases an armour mod look for "More Armor Colors"

Nice now I want this for armor too

@GothikaGeist Personally just the pink would work. A lot of other colors are covered with the others. Basically if you're looking for specifics, anything white with a "shade" of a color... think of like how platinum blonde is. Like I said, great work and looking forward to the next update

@DeusRex
I could do that, but for the time being I wanna get out this update this week that just adds more of the "main" colors: Blonde, Ginger, Red, and Brown. Once I bring out this update I'll look into better variations of the "unnatural" hair colors. I could definitely bring pastel shades for each. If you have any color references or anything throw em at me, it'd make things easier for me.
