XCOM EU Change SHIVs default color?

[afeq]

How??

Can someone please share a way to change the shivs color?

I mean i know colors for shivs can't be changed in game, but there is got to be a way to do it with a hex script somehow.

I hate those green and blue colors, they look even worse now that we play at higher resolutions.

i'll feel a lot more happier if colors could be like more sober tones, say black, silver, gray.

Take a look at the wiki "Modifying Textures - XCOM:EU 2012" article.

 

I don't follow the XCOM2 forum, but if there is any later developments, it is likely to be found there.

Oh thanks, yeah i know with textmod you can inyect textures with a third party App, but yeah i thought maybe there was a more simple solution like a script for the long war mod manager

Well i dont know if it will be simplier i mean without the need to messing up the game too much, like having to run the game from another executable and things like that

This game was never designed for "modding" or to make anything easy for third parties. Until the community dug into the exe code, it was not even evident how to enable it to actually utilize the loose INI files. Everything was/is a hex code hack. "PatcherGUI" was as easy as it got, but it was still hex hacking and never "texture" oriented.

 

"Long war" is a third party mod developed by people involved in the original code diving. They were barely able to keep up with the patches, and immediately left to continue with XCOM2 when it was released. Development of every tool for "XCOM: EU/EW" stopped at that point. I have no idea if any of those developed for XCOM2 will work with EU/EW.
