We do a little trolling

Renato requested I make a picture tutorial of how to change player colors and unit colors in EUD Editor 2. I figured it was worth sharing here as well since I don't remember seeing a tutorial that worked for changing these values. Thanks to everyone in the SEN EUD Discussion Discord group for answering all my questions and showing me how to do this :)

Enter Advance View in Trigger Editor:



Player Color and Basic Unit Color Changes:



Color Changes for Units with Subunits (Tank, Gol, etc):



https://cafe.naver.com/edac/73202 is an excellent resource for seeing what all the different player color values look like in jungle tileset. Keep in mind some of these colors may vary by tileset. PColor value can be anything between 0-255, running this function will update all of that player's units to be the new color selected. UnitColor value can be anything between 0-11, running this function will set the selected unitPTR to be the selected player color P1=0, P2=1, etc.. What I do for custom colors that don't belong to any given player is set one of the players 9-11 to the desired color and then set the unit to be whichever player 9-11 I have selected to have the desired color. I believe this can be done infinite times to create whatever array of colored units you desire. This is an extremely handy trick for doing a variety of things, one of the primary things I use it for is to give enemy heroes a different color than standard enemy units, allowing them to be owned by the same player while being visually distinct.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
