Default Weapon Color Restored (WOTC)
If you play with random soldiers without your character pool, you may have noticed that each soldier’s weapon color always stays the same tan-ish beige throughout the entire campaign, regardless of weapons tier. This is perfectly fine for ballistic weapons, but it sticks out a bit more for mag weapons, and especially plasma weapons.
Finally though after 8 years of War of The Chosen’s release, this mod (with the help of Community Highlander) restores the default weapon colors for their respective tiers. (Beige yellow for conventional, white-ish grey for magnetic, and gray-ish blue, which is unreplicatable in the vanilla color menu, for plasma)
This is done by a simple INI edit in the Highlander’s XComContent.ini to set iDefaultWeaponTint to -1 (The number it was at pre-WOTC) instead of 20, similar to Iridar’s existing
Change Default Weapon Color mod.
This mod is not perfect however, because if you even OPEN the Weapon Color menu in soldier customization, both the soldier’s primary and secondary weapon colors will be overwritten to whatever you last had the mouse over.
It can be restored with a mod like Strip Weapon Upgrades, though.
Thanks to Zelfana for telling me the magic number to actually restore default weapon colors with the Highlander
Thanks to Iridar for helping me figure out how to use the SDK again (after 2 years…)
