    Why did uber remove the option for us to mod it in? And why haven't they added it back yet? They haven't removed secondary colors yet, so why remove the option to change it, mod in the ability to change it? C'mon uber, I don't want to play black-pink every time, it looks silly.

    Yeah, they removed it a long time ago. The mods that accessed it were just using legacy code that was left over. I guess they broke the secondary colours when they redid the new_game scene to handle 1v1 ranked games.

    Also!: color, COLOR, COLOR? And you call yourself Canadian... :rolleyes:

    Chatted with an engineer. Will try to get secondary color choice in in the next update or so.. Same guy who is working on custom metal placement though, so will come in behind that work.

    I think I do too. Why was the choice removed in the first place? Does anyone know if they gave us a good reason?

    Very quick question, are you guys going to be adding back the whole feature, or just the ability to mod it in?

    Idea would be to not require a mod.

    They told us they didn't think anyone cared about it, or something around that. :p

    That's silly, they got a massive backlash when they removed it...

    Awesome!

    I think that it would be very nice for shared team games if each player had a different secondary colour. Any player could control any unit still, but it would be a useful bit of information to be able to see who'd made a given unit. Plus casters could tell the coms apart.
