Instructions:
1. Download the mod suite and unpack it
2. Run it and in the file menu, press open, look for the path (your hard drive letter):\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Act of Aggression\Data\ACTOFRUSE\PC\(the folder with the highest number as name)
3. Inside that folder, whose name will depend on the current version of the game (every new patch you get a new folder), you will find the file named NDF_Win, select it and open it
4. Look for pc\ndf\patchable\ui\components.ndfbin, you can either write components on the search text field or look at the list (it should be near the bottom of the list)
5. Double click it and select TActOfRusePlayerColor, to the right you will see the instances with the available colors of the game
6. When selecting an instance you will see in their properties, which appear to the right of the selected instance, the following:
-AppliedUnitColor
-LabelUnitBackgroundColor
-LabelUnitBorderColor
-LabelUnitPlayerNameColor
-MinimapColor
-DistrictColor
-VisualIndicatorColor
7. Now for the fun part, the first 8 instances correspond to the 8 available colors of the game, each one has the 6 properties mentioned above, those are the ones you need to edit, however, there is a quirk with that.
8. Let's say you have Instance (some number): C07044FF, the hex color code, which it's show when double clicking upon the ARGB code, it's not shown in the right order, instead, it follows this order: B=C0, G=04, R=44, A=FF, notice this is wrote from right to left but each pair its show from left to right, the correct interpretation order would be FF4470C0 (which in this case is blue)
9. If you want to switch that blue to another color, for example beige, first you will need to get the correct ARGB, which in this case is FFc68c5a, and then you need to change the order to 5a8cc6FF
10. Be sure to change all the properties colors, that way you get the right effect.
I am still not sure how well this mod works for multiplayer, but it should be ok, at least in skirmish it didn't gave me any problem.
I want to thank the people who made this possible, including the Eugen Systems team and enohka an the other modders who made this possible, oh, and here are some screenshots:
