World builder city states colours help!

[hunterness]

Hi Guys! I need help with civ5 world builder. I am trying to create my own scenario, where I've got my own map, a few mods added (civ scotland, Copasetic UI tweaks, Dale Kents hardwood resource, Queen of the Iceni, Resource Crabs, and Y.A.G.E.M., and ynaemp city states extended) My only problem is that I'm trying to change the colours of the city states to my like, but when I start the game, they have their default colours set. By the way, the ynaemp extended city states mod adds more city states for them to add to 44 (which is awesome, even thought civ5 doesn't allow that many) any help?! I mean ive got alot of city states with the same colours (border colours), and others like Tyre and Cape town with ugly ones! ANY HELP!? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and thank you.

You have to edit a file found here;
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\Gameplay\XML\Interface
CIV5PlayerColors.xml

Where each minors are referenced through their "Types" & within the "Secondary" slot.
I'd recommend reading Kael's Guide to use the replace tricks only instead of using the original files.

If it isn't enough, you could go straight to the source of any of these colors within;
CIV5Colors.xml
but that one is even more trickier since you'd be handling RGB values instead of text field definitions. In that case you'd have to keep (for example) every references intact such as "MIDDLE_CYAN", etc.

Third option, this file...
C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\Gameplay\XML
CIV5MinorCivilizations.xml
in which case, the field(s) you'd want to edit are listed as DefaultPlayerColor assuming you don't want to be bothered with changes to any of the above two files defaults.

I suspect any of the Mods you mentioned have already integrated some custom values for their CS. Some further edits might be necessary there also... their file names (or structural solutions) may be different though. Contact the corresponding authors should you need precisions.

Here's a Vanilla Colors sheet in this post.

thanks for the reply, I found editing the default colour helpful, I tried that before your post and it worked, but thank you anyways! keep up the excellent support
