Why is the game reading the wrong RGB color settings ?
I'm using MS Paint to pick the new colors and never had this problem with Generals or KW.

Whatever RGB color I picked, that was the exact player color that would appear in those games.

I went to change the blue player color a bit lighter, so I used this,
DarkBlue=55,153,234
But instead I get this really cool Apple Green.

So then I go over to change the Red to a slightly different shade of light blue, DarkRed=86,156,233

But I now get this bright John Deere Tractor Green.

It uses HSL not RGB.

If I have been told, I don't remember.

It still doesn't work because I used the HSL settings to get this light purple color only to get this dark purple color.

And the same settings in RGB produces this.
So what is the correct system to get the exact color ?

Found this RGB to HSL converter to change the yellow and this is the result of using HSL

Umm, the [Colors] section uses HSV, not HSL.

V=255 represents the the color (decided by H and S), when 'shone upon' by a bright light.
L=255 is white, regardless of H and S.

Back to the [Colors] section; Use a _Value_ like 210 to get a very good remap range that's colorful, but not too bright. You can use the same value for all your remaps, unless you want shades of grey.

Example: use the template Color = H,255,210;
Cycling through H = H + 21 will give you 11 different colors that don't overlap too much.
H = H+32 will give you 8.

Color = 0,0,V; will give you shades of grey based on V.

Hope this helps.

It doesn't use percentage, it uses 0-255 values, but otherwise operates the same. Just like voxel direction on a map is not in degrees.

Adam your colour as you defined it will be modified by the remap shade on the artwork. they added this to allow darkening your colour for the purposes of shading.

Rather than obsessing over the numbers, perhaps you need to spend time examining, making and testing voxels with various remap shades, and seeing how they darken when rotating.

Which ones from the [color] section are the multiplayer ones?

From the actual rules notes I assume it's 5 to 11 and 16 (the yellow). is that correct ?

I can't do that since i don't know anything about making voxels.

But what I discovered was that the unmodded game does not use RGB, HSL, HSV or CMYK because I used a RGB Convertor and nether one works so the games some weird system.

I have games that came out the same time as this one and I can change those colors with no problems.

The game uses HSV but the S & V numbers are converted from a percentage to 8bit code, so 100% is 255, 50% is 128 & 25% 64 etc.

Note that Ares expanded the color system & changed it to RGB to simplify things.
