Changing default colors EDIT: Solution Found

[Akin]

I know you can change default uniform colors when a unit is auto recruited by changing the rgb values of the default colors in colors.dat, however the confederate side uses the same default color for jacket and trousers, is there anyway to have them use 2 separate colors like the union?

EDIT: I seem to have found the answer, using any text editor, go to the campaign folder and in whatever year you started with (early 1861=a), you have to go into the nations.dat file and under "confederate","Rebel","CSS", they are 2 numbers , 4 and 4 , those are the color numbers from the colors.dat file in the config folder. The top one is the jacket and the bottom one is the trousers. You can change the corresponding colors in the colors.dat file (by changing the rgb values for that corresponding color number) in the config folder or change these numbers to the colors you want for the auto recruit. This also applies to recruitment for the ai so you if the ai is union you could change the union values and their colors would change.

If you want to change the nation color to match your new uniform color scheme, you can just change the rgb values under the nation names.

All of these changes can be done in the middle of a campaign and any newly recruited units after the change will be effected by those color changes.

If you want to change the uniform colors of existing units, change the name of the brigade in game to something you can remember, go to regiments.dat in your latest save folder in the campaign folder, (it will have the date the save file was created on it, if you want the latest save just click on date modified in the windows tab and it will sort by latest date modified). Then control f and type in what you renamed the brigade as, then you can change the rgb values with the first 2 being jacket and trousers respectively, the last rgb value controls how much color variation there is inside the unit.

Going to second this.

It would be really nice if we could either choose the uniforms for auto-generated units, or change uniforms of existing units.
