You need to edit a file called colors00.txt in your ...\Call To Power 2\ctp2_data\default\gamedata\ folder.

The three numbers represent RGB colour values. You can find the values in MS Paint or most paint programs then just change the 3 numbers to the colour you want.

For example: 0 0 255 means blue for player 1.

oh i never thought of another color... its tight

Adriano · November 27, 2002, 12:35

OK Maq!!

Here's a some lines from Colors00.txt

Code:

COLORSET_COLOR		196 0 38		#	COLOR_PLAYER0   			
COLORSET_COLOR		0 0 255			#	COLOR_PLAYER1		
…
# RADAR MAP BASE TILE COLORS:  1 COLOR FOR EACH TYPE.
	#COLORSET_COLOR	85	105	10	#	COLOR_TERRAIN_0
	#COLORSET_COLOR	186	118	4	#	COLOR_TERRAIN_1
…
#   CTP1 colors
#	COLORSET_COLOR	87 	171 	27	#	COLOR_TERRAIN_0
#	COLORSET_COLOR	87 	171 	27	#	COLOR_TERRAIN_1

I'm a bit confused over the use of the "#" character. Sometimes it seems to denote a comment, but it also looks like it is part of a variable name. For example I want to make a note what color 199 159 109 is (kinda beige)

I think in most cases anything after // on a line denotes a comment, in slic files anyway, same for all the files too i would say.

Code:

 COLORSET_COLOR		196 0 38		#	COLOR_PLAYER0	// gay pink	
COLORSET_COLOR		0 0 255			#	COLOR_PLAYER1	// royal polka dots
COLORSET_COLOR		255 128 0		#	COLOR_PLAYER2	// sick carrot orange
COLORSET_COLOR		0 135 64		#	COLOR_PLAYER3

remember everyone the CtP2 FAQ on this forum has VERY useful information about the game.... including how to change your colour.

The guys and girls at Activision couldn’t decide which symbol to use to denote comments. For SLIC files it’s “//”. In text files it’s usually “#”.

So Maq could just do this: COLORSET_COLOR 196 0 38 # COLOR_PLAYER0 gay pink

Gay pink?

What tribe is that Maq?

Oh yes. Read the FAQ da**it!

The onlt txt file in which "//" means comments is some AI files. All the rest "#" means comment as posted by DoT

J Bytheway · December 2, 2002, 13:30

Orders.txt also has // commenting (and # commenting too). I suspect both forms will work in all files but I've never tested this.

Straybow · December 2, 2002, 23:26

Maq, please get it right.

COLORSET_COLOR 138 59 204 # COLOR_PLAYER5 gay lavender
COLORSET_COLOR 248 149 182 # COLOR_PLAYER10 gay pink
COLORSET_COLOR 138 202 15 # COLOR_PLAYER15 gay green

It forms a clear pattern: obviously the number "5" is gay.

Maquiladora · December 3, 2002, 00:03

sorry

Oh My

that green would look positively radiant on me!

Devil of Truth · December 3, 2002, 03:55

Nope. I tried. It failed. Most text files, with the exception of some AI files use “#” (thanks Pedrunn). Most SLIC files use “//”

Maq, the green is divine, but the lavender is to die for!

All SLIC files uses the //-comment. The # character is used in compination of the include command in slic files. That reminds to C++ syntax.
