How to fix this faction color to a better color more eye friendly

[Max Pen]

also why doesn't it show on the pop up for units who they are weak  and strong against?

can the mod only support 3 playable factions and 1 pirate faction at one time?


which file and line do I need to edit? Also what happens if your faction leader gets killed, its gone forever? any major hero does not return?

First off, try making the game brighter instead. It is impossible to see anything in this.
Go to the options and try pulling up the brightness.

If you want to change it either way, you can go into the factions.xml or the expansionfactions.xml(the later I'm not sure of, I am at work ATM) and there is a line there refering to coloring.

From one side, there are so many units in the mod at the moment that it wouldn't really be accurate anymore. From the other side it does not really work out like that anymore. You can find many help and guides here in the forums if you need them.

can the mod only support 3 playable factions and 1 pirate faction at one time?

In the 2.1, it already has 4 fully playable faction(Imperial Remnant, New Republic, Empire of the Hand and Pentastar Alignment) and 1 that is only playable in 1 GC(Duskhan League) and 2 more minor factions(Hapes Consortium and the Warlords).
With 2.2 this is going to increase to 8 fully playable factions(Imperial Remnant, New Republic, Empire of the Hand, Pentastar Alignment, Warlord Zsinj, Greater Maldrood, Eriadu Authority and an expanded Duskhan League) and several smaller unplayaqble ones.
Keep in mind that some factions are unplayable in certain GCs. From the list of playable factions in a GC look at the GC's description.

Also what happens if your faction leader gets killed, its gone forever? any major hero does not return?

Yes. Every hero you loose is lost for good. There are a very few exceptions who can return in a later era.

To change a factions color, go into Factions.xml or Expansion_Factions.xml and change the following lines;

      <Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </Color>
      <Display_Font_Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </Display_Font_Color>
      <No_Colorization_Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </No_Colorization_Color>
      <Big_Fleet_Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </Big_Fleet_Color>

Well I mean that in the map there is a max of 3 factions at one time playing with sometiems pirates?

To change a factions color, go into Factions.xml or Expansion_Factions.xml and change the following lines;

      <Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </Color>
      <Display_Font_Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </Display_Font_Color>
      <No_Colorization_Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </No_Colorization_Color>
      <Big_Fleet_Color> 239, 139, 9, 255 </Big_Fleet_Color>

Say I want to change that faction, which one is it and what color would be better?

Based on your provided screenshot, you'll be looking for the Pentastar Alignment, coded as Pentastar. As for the color you want to change them to, that's up to you.

There are plenty of maps in 2.1 already (the version you're playing) with more factions than that, so no. If you look at the descriptions of the GCs, it tells you exactly how many factions are in that GC, and which are playable

Say I want to change that faction, which one is it and what color would be better?

As Bucman said, that's coded as Pentastar. Judging by your screenshot though, I don't think your problem is the faction colour, considering it's supposed to look like this in 2.1:



I'm pretty sure your problem is your gamma settings, which makes everything incredibly dark. If you go into video options, you'll see these sliders. It's the bottom one.

what GC did you take that pic in corey? or is that the old Fractured empire with new units/heroes added?

[Corey]

Pretty sure that was the old 2.1 Stars Align, but early 2.2 changes (Sariss, Entralla added). we'd posted it a while ago when Entralla was added for some reason.

If you're talking about space battles, there will only ever be two factions present, although in our mod there is a chance for a "raid fleet" in some battles (but these units aren't drawn from any faction on the galactic map so I wouldn't classify them as a faction).

I'm Pretty sure i posted the NR coolor coding, but yeah
