New players' colors

Hi! The players’ colors have just been changed in my game, I suppose it’s due to an update… Actually, I like most of the new ones, especially green and purple, but I’m really not convinced by blue and cyan, I prefered the old ones.

Does anybody know how to change them with Advanced Genie Editor ? I tried but I didn’t succeed, maybe I don’t have the correct setting values.

Thanks in advance!

The new spring colors were added as part of a mod, you can simply return to the default colors by unticking the spring colors mod in your mod menu

I’ve read that the update allowed color mods from now on, but I have no idea on how to make such mods. I guess should ask in the “mod” section of the forums

You can browse and study palette mods.

Is there a way to change the Minimap color also? I want to make new colors and replace some but the minimap color stays the same.

You can edit the minimap colors along with text colors in UIColors.json found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\widgetui

Wow! Thanks a lot, dededoritos. This tool is just awesome.

Really, I’m impressed by the people who realise (and share) such things.

Thanks Goldeneye. And do you also know how to change the player number button color? You know when you select civ and player color. I think it’s the only thing left to change.

I would guess that the buttons are the .png files found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\widgetui\textures\menu\icons

I did not test if they are the right files but you should be able to edit them in photoshop

OK, I’ll try it later, thanks.
