Player color creation for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

[Mr. Lioness]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to know if anyone knew of tutorials on how to create player colors for the game "Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance". I would like to create my own colors, but have no idea about modding. There are enough color tables with hex codes that I can use.

Unfortunately, changing the color codes in existing color mods (.scd files) doesn't help. Of course, that's exactly what I tried. Typically beginners, what else! : D

It would mean a lot to me if someone could help me!

Unpack mod 01_MoreColorsMod.scd (it's pk zip archive) with GameColors.lua script inside. Look and try edit it. Possible, some colors from bottom is reserwed. So, don't use it as player and army colors

You my try paste this file to C:\Users\%user%\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\mods\MoreColorsMod\lua\ folder (and remove scd from gamedata)

GameColors = {
    PlayerColors = {
	"FFe80a0a",
	"DarkGreen",
	"FF131cd3",
	"Goldenrod",
 	"Ivory",
 	"Darkslategray",
	"FF202020",
	"FF4d0505",
	"FF2E8B57",
	"BlueViolet",
	"FFFF8080",
	"FF400040",
	"FFFFFF80",
	"FF404000",
	"FF80FFFF",
	"FF800040",
	"FF80FF00",
	"FF804000",
	"FF808080",
	"FFFFFF00",

    },

    ArmyColors = {
	"FFe80a0a",
	"DarkGreen",
	"FF131cd3",
	"Goldenrod",
 	"Ivory",
 	"Darkslategray",
	"FF202020",
	"FF4d0505",
	"FF2E8B57",
	"BlueViolet",
	"FFFF8080",
	"FF400040",
	"FFFFFF80",
	"FF404000",
	"FF80FFFF",
	"FF800040",
	"FF80FF00",
	"FF804000",
	"FF808080",
	"FFFFFF00",
 
    },

    CivilianArmyColor = "BurlyWood",

    TeamColorMode = {
        Self = "RoyalBlue",
        Enemy = "FFE80A0A",
        Ally = "DarkGreen",
        Neutral = "Goldenrod",
    },

    UnidentifiedColor = "FF808080",

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but I'm attempting to do the same thing. The file that is given in the thread linked above no longer works, and so I tried to make my own mod for this. The mod shows up in the game and is selectable and everything, but none of the colors are showing up. I have the above `GameColors.lua` file within `/mods/[modname]/hook/mohodata/lua` since that's where the `GameColors.lua` file is located in the game data. I've also changed where the file is located, it doesn't work no matter where I put it. Not sure what I'm missing...
