Alering friend foe colors?

Post by momuuu »

I was wondering if it is possible to make a mod that alters the default friend/foe colors. I really like to play as orange, and I have been playing as orange for as long as I can remember, so now whenever someone else picks orange I just get utterly confused and micro his stuff instead of my stuff and think that there is an army of him in my base etc. So, would it be possible that just changed your default color to orange when using friend foe colors? And if it was, is there any kind genius who would be willing to create such a mod for me?

You have to find the installation folder of age of empires, and put the file that Aizamk linked in the data folder. I think the default location for this is C:Program Files (x86)Age of Empires IIIdata. Then you have to choose "enable friend or foe colors" in the ingame options.

The file Aizamk linked will make you Orange and your opponent Red. I think I could help you if you want different colors too.

I looked at the file and noticed that the foe color is actually slightly different from the normal red colors, at least in the file. Am I missing something or is this actually the case?
