ACE: sorry, I could not find the time, I presume that in the meanwhile, with our right directions, you might have developed on your own an expertise one the matter superior to mine

TKG and gwill:
OF COURSE, TKG's colours are of the smaX factions, while gwill's colours are of the smaC factions! (although his Santi & Lal *definitely* show an ill shade )

BTW, Destroyer Deck is the more evident, but I'm sure that units colours show factional differences with some other components too... offhand I'd dare to say for instance, Chopper's "sledges"? Someone care to make this a "Quest" ?

perhaps later. i think there's something on the needle's too...

Confessions and Revelations

I kinda suspected TKG's colours were SMAX. Might someone know the palette index numbers? (Look at the Player Colors chart in the upper right corner of palette.pcx. The top row is the flag colors.)

MariOne noticed...

My "Spartan Grey" is, indeed, edited. It is in order to avoid the common problem of playing another faction in that slot and having all the info invisible on the black flags. By making it grey, the text is visible.

My Peacekeepers always had that odd pale purple color (#225) straight out of the box. Recently, though, I changed it to the deep purple (#251) because my eyesight is not great and many times I couldn't tell at a glance if I was seeing Pale Purple Peacekeepers or White University units.

MariOne also posted this "challenge":

Done:

• Infantry: Weapon mount for all except "scout" infantry.
• Speeder: Frame. Need to look close; mostly hidden by reactor, cockpit, and weapon mount.
• Hovertank: Frame, front intakes, top of cockpit.
• Foil: Frame above aerofoil housing. As with Speeder, need to look close.
• Cruiser: Deck, and upper decks on infantry transport.
• Needlejet: Exhaust baffles, wing tips.
• Copter: Frame, skids, tail.
• Gravship: Frame, fan-pods.

Many of these will be hidden if the unit is armored, most notably Speeders and Foils.

yah...it was weird. even after starting a new game with just SMAC factions (so the .ini file would get set to that) and making the same scenario, the hive was still light blue (pirates) the spartans pink (cult) etc...i'm still baffled why
