| Summary | 0022900: Activated allied Scourge look exactly the same as enemy scourge. | ||||
| Description | I hacked the structure to activate allied scourge. The first thing I noticed was that there doesn't appear to be anything in their colour scheme or eveb tooltip that differentiates them from the enemy scourge, so it could be interesting if I mix up the two at a critical moment. | ||||

|
Oh and they don't appear in the esc menu either. It just shows the "Allied to AI" scourge faction. |
|
|
They use the default colour. If you don't change it for the one you put in, then it'll be the same. Not sure how that'd be fixed. They're the only faction I think that can be in this scenario with their beacon. |
|
|
Idea: When spawning a minor faction midgame, check if its colors match those of any other faction (maybe just test for equal RGB values, don't try to guess if they're visually distinguishable). If so, pick 2 random colors from new game palette and repeat check. |
|
|
I really need to get the "reassign colors for factions" code in there for during the games. |
|
|
Yeah, the "change faction colours during game" feature is probably needed before you go full into multiplayer. |
|
|
That's semi-related anyhow, based on some lobby thought's I've had, so all good. |
|
|
Excellent, I just signed up to report this. I had a game the other day which became very confusing as my allied scourge and the enemy scourge were identical colours and abandoned it because of constant mixups. |
|
|
As of the next version (2.030), you can now change the colors of any and all factions in a savegame at any time. You just go into the escape / system menu, and hit View / Edit Factions, and choose the faction you want. Thanks! |
