Interface & Race colors.

Could use some help :P

November 12, 2006 11:42:26 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I wasn't aware that choosing identical Race and Interface colors would cause problems. When veiw the graphs and such, you appear excluded because the colors are exactly the same...Could use help on this aswell, I would really like to continue the current game I am on, so I need to change one of these colors.

as far as I know, you can only change it in the setup screen at the beginning of a game.

I think there is a way to see just your graph. Do not quote me on that though.

REmery, and anyone else that may be interested...

When you change anything about a race it gets saved out to a .customrace file.  So, for example, if you wanted to play as the Yor, but didn't want your race and interface colors to be purple, you could change them, and it'll get saved out to a file named "Yor Collective.customrace."  You can open this file in notepad after the fact and change the values of <InterfaceColor>#,#,#</InterfaceColor>, and <RaceColor>#,#,#</RaceColor> then save it.  The "#" in my example can be any number from 0-255.  The file you'll need to change will be in your "My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2" path. 

<edit>This will only affect games from then on, not the one you are currently playing.</edit>

Hope that helps.

make a new game with the correct colors then cut and paste the lines would prolly be easiest.
