This simple tutorial will show you how to add more faction colors. You'll need the multiplayer.ini file. Open it and it will look like this.

; Well it is more Grey now...so it can be seen.

  RGBNightColor = R:100 G:100 B:100

  TooltipName = Color:Black

End

Add this code to the bottom of the page.

Code



MultiplayerColor Color(Name of color)

  RGBColor = R:(#) G:(#) B:(#)

  RGBNightColor = R:(#) G:(#) B:(#)

  TooltipName = Color:(Name of color)

End

Replace the "(Name of color)" texts with the name of your color. RGBColor is what the color looks like. R is how red it is, G is how green it is, and blue is how blue it is. Keep RGBNightColor the same as RGBColor. Replace all the "(#)" with your desired numbers.

Preview Color
To see with the color looks like, open MS Paint and go to Color>Edit Colors. Click on the "Define Custom Colors >>" button. Add what number you put in R:(#) in Red, G:(#) in Green, B:(#) in Blue. There should be a preview to the left.

Save all changes if you're done. See the link below for a list of colors.
