Colour Schemes

[DarkGod]

I have seen many people do this, but I am still at a loss of what to do. How do you recolour DLC schemes? I have the Word Bearer's DLC, but whenever I recolour it, I need to create a new colour scheme and it reverts back to the retail chaos style. How can I keep the visual styles?

Go into your Dawn of war II - Retribution folder.

steam / steamapps / common / dawn of war ii - retribution

I think.

from there you go to

ELITE_beta / Data / config

there you'll find a LUA file called

defaultchaptercolours

just open it with some word programm, like WordPad or MicrosoftWord or whatever

look for your DLC in it ( with Alt-F you can open the searchbar )

will look somewhat like this


chapterKeyName = "Chaos_WordBearers_DLC",

primaryColourName = "Red Gore",
secondaryColourName = "Mithril Silver",
tintColourName = "Mechrite Red",
extraColourName = "Dark Angels Green",

Just replace the names of the colours and save again.

I suppose isn't neccessary, but I suggest make first a backup of the archives which are going to be edited.

given that you can always validate it's not necessary. personal decision and generally good practice though.

These config files you can just delete and they will be replaced on starting the game.
