Consistent Team Colors
If you play with 3rd party faction mods, you may have run into one or more with enemy target icon colors you just don’t like. For my own example, many use an orangey yellow that can be confused with the "I’m flanked" yellow. This mod allows you to control the colors of the target icons.
There are two teams enabled by the Community Highlander: Team One, primarily used by The Hive and Rebelious MOCX, and Team Two, used by most raider factions. Mods using these teams have code that changes their icon colors when their SitReps are found, if it wasn’t already changed from the Highlander defaults. This mod basically uses that same code, for all SitReps, without the "unless already changed from the default" check. The thumbnail above is three different missions with different raider teams, all while Team Two was set by this mod to the "Good" (green) color: Global Occult Coalition (which is usually cyan), Dark Eldar* (usually purple), and Bandit Raiders (usually orangey-yellow).
*Dark Eldar are currently on Team Two, but that mod’s author has plans to move them to Team One in the future.
Highlander defaults to "Warning2" (orangey-yellow) for Team One and "Cash" (green) for Team Two. Selecting those colors lets other mods assume the color hasn’t been changed, so they could potentially overwite this mod with their own colors. However, it is set to trigger after most other mods so, in the testing done, still worked with the Highlander defaults. Just be aware that, while using a default color, there is a small possibility the choice could be overridden.
If you want to keep different raider groups in different colors, there are options for that. The selection is done by SitRep, so you would set that team’s SitRep(s) to the new color. More details are in the XComConsistentTeamColors.ini config file, along with sample settings for all Team One/Two mods I could find.
This mod should work fine with any mods utilizing Team One and/or Team Two. It has also been tested from the start to work with Unit Flag Extended.
