Go to the file 1091135816 and open the OneMillionColours.XComMod file (description file) after the description line add RequiresXPACK=true and save.
Doing this for most of the troublemakers seems to fix them.

I've been having trouble getting One Million Colours to work. I've downloaded it, the WOTC and the Spark add-on and they appear in the Alternative Mod Launcher, but when I launch the game, the sliders don't appear in game.

This occurs in fresh runs and loaded saves.
I've also tried using Project DollHouse for colour customisation, which comes with its own issues breaking the textures of some mods that I'm using (Armours of the Imperium).

Does anyone know how to achieve a dark green forest camo style color with this mod? The slider percentages don't seem to map to real RGB values for colors that you can get from the internet at all, for example the color code for US milspec Dark Green is #575B41, with RGB values of 87, 91, and 65 - entering these RGB values in the mod produces a nearly white color.

I set the xcomgame.ini config file using Alternative Mod Launcher to START_INDEX=1000
NUM_COLOR_PER_BASE=256 and everything else is default.

Either the mod isn't working properly or the documentation in the mod description is really sorely lacking. This mod doesn't work well out of the box and I have no idea how to fix it.

Was working but sadly stopped. Even using the alternate xcom launcher it still freezes when trying to load the colour menu in customization (In vanilla xcom 2).

@flyin9spartan ever since 2k changed the launcher to make it worse, because showing ads is more important than the game working, a lot of mods don't work without Alternate Mod Launcher

Did anyone ever figure out how to use this mod with a controller? Having to go to the main menu, choose mouse, go into the game and then exit out to switch back to controller is annoying

does anyone know why these mods won't appear in the launcher? i have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing but they don't appear and i am not sure why?

Hey -bg-, I have a question for you about this mod. I've sent you a friend request; when you can, could you accept so we can chat a bit?

Does anyone know if there is a mod that allows you to save color presets? I like to color code my soldiers by class and it's cumbersome to go into the color picker each time for every soldier.

Well, what mods do you have that might conflict with this?

I Tried everything but it doesn't work except the Weapon ones. I'm playing in Modded WOTC.

I Tried everything but it doesn't work except the Weapon ones.

Well, for some reason, it won't work for me. Over the past couple of days, I've tried getting into the Soldier Customisation but it crashes whenever I try to change the colour of anything. This mod used to work for me, so I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. I've used all the mods in my load order since the last time this mod worked for me.

Still a great mod, and I will be happy to continue using it whenever some possible solutions or conflicts are explained. I understand the mod doesn't work with certain things already in the description, but I haven't downloaded any new mods since before I started using this (and it worked fine at one stage).

If I go to this mod's Config in XCOMEngine.ini using the AML, there is a commented version of the code:
;+ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass="XComCharacterCustomization", ModClass="XComCustomizationColourManager")

If I remove the comment and turn it into actual code, the mod works. But then the game freezes if you try to do any other type of customization to your soldiers. Completely frozen, you have to shut down your PC to close the game.

I don't have another mod that uses 'XComGameCharacterCustomization'

What gives?

I already tried to use the Loading Error Guide, it does not work

Are controllers broken for this mod?

for some reason halfway through the day yesterday the mod just stopped working, no slider anymore.

can i edi the color hex code??

I feel like the whole community is like crazy when it comes to this mod lol. I have never seen the extra colors show up in the menu, just the sliders at the bottom. I have never been able to find any fix for it. Multiple PCs over many years, and I have no clue how you're supposed to get the expanded color menu.

Has anyone even bothered to try the AML? Firaxsis's latest launcher screwed everything up. This is well-known by this point.

I'm sorry but i have to jump in this discussion and some more stuff. This mod and additional mods as plugins "worked" perfectly until today. Something must have happened with the recent updates that they added for no reason at all. My game always worked fine even before this silly updates. The reason why i'm posting this is very obvious. I am using Alternative mod launcher and there are no missing dependencies, no conflicts what so ever to put the blame on that.
The mods are simply not working no matter what fix is used or attempted. The folders are installed, everything is in it's proper place but the mods just don't work anymore. They don't show in game with the sliders as previously did, it's like they are not even present or installed.
I am putting a blame towards last few game updates.

Anyway to get this to apply to skin colors as well as prop colors~? @-bg-

Here's what's going on for me. Not sure if it's this mod because I obviously have a few. Sliders don't show up at all for me. Messing with the XComGame.ini didn't make any difference either. What is happening is when I try to open the colour selector in a few places (weapon upgrade menu and spark colour menu), the game freezes. Audio still works, but nothing else.

I'm also subscribed to the other mods of this series (Spark and WOTC). Anything I'm missing?

stopped working with empty names, anyone know any fixes for it

@-bg-
I am getting the same issue where this doesn't work with Emptynames, which is weird because it used to work no issue. Can we get a fix?

game freezes when using this mod i can still hear things but the screen freezes

I can't get the sliders to show up in Vanilla.
Gonna fool with the config files in a minute, and I'll see.

Has anyone gotten this mod and its plugins to work recently?

this simply is not working, I cannot even find whatever INI is required, as when I search it gives me like 10+ different files named XcomGame.ini and not one of them can I fine the START_INDEX anywhere. I am using WotC, I have both plug ins, even added the RequiresXPACK=true in their files, and nothing is working. your explanation on how to make this mod work is not helpful, all it does is confuse me more, as I am not some programming person and cannot find the files you say I need to alter.

Note that this seems to conflict with "EmptyNames [WOTC]". Disabling that mod fixed this one. While both were enabled, this mod wouldn't work.

Hi, I have tried cleaning out my ini files but the mod still does not work for me. Is there anything else I should try to do to get this mod to work properly?

I managed to fix my problem because I am an absolute idiot. I didn't realize that a mod I had installed two months ago (and forgot about) also had an override for "CustomizationManagerClass." In case anyone wants to use this mod, you *cannot* be using "Empty Names for WOTC"

Everytime I try to change color on armor, the game locks up.

I can still hear the sound and it sounds like its running normally but it just sits there.

Thank you

Well, I also deleted and downloaded all the mods again, but I think cleaning would help

How to clean INI files

Cleaning INI files helped. Thank!

Have you deleted all the ini files in your games documents folder so they get repopulated?

I use both the original mod and the plugin for WOTC right away. And the mod doesn't work in WOTC. If I disable the original mod and leave the plugin, then WOTC gives an error, which is quite logical

I disabled all mods except this one, but in WOTC the mod does not work, and in a vanilla game the mod works as it should

This mod does work fine in WOTC, you are using the OMC plugin for WOTC as well yes?
I'm using the LWotC overhaul as a base with 160+ mods on top of that and have the two OMC mods nearly last in the load order on the AML.

I use AML. Mod works in vanilla game, but don't work in WOTC

Works with Kerse's recommended fix (just use the AML)

mod don't work

I also used the below solution on a separate mod's .XComMod file with similar success, where the armours found in the Imperial Guardsmen mod were not appearing before for me, using the same solution below on that mod restored the armours and re-enabled them for customisation. So it's a solution that may work with other "out of date" mods if you are trying to troubleshoot.

Thought I'd mention what Kerse said below again, as it was what fixed it for me. If you're lucky and it isn't due to a mod conflict which my case didn't appear to be as I turned off nothing and just did the below, go to the follow location in your Steam folder:

X:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500

Search for both of these files and open them with Notepad:

OneMillionColours.XComMod
OneMillionSparkColours.XComMod

Add the following to the end of each and save:
RequiresXPACK=true

On doing the above and loading the game back up, the sliders showed up once again for me when I went into the eyes/ hair/ skin/ tattoo customisation sections of my Soldiers.

Credit to Kerse again for this solution, thanks man for the steer.

heartbreaking i cant get this to work with the plugin for WOTC y u do this bountygiver

I've never been able to figure out how to get this mod to work

I had it working right after it was downloaded, but now the color sliders are missing.
I can see my soldiers, but I can't use the sliders.
