Don’t use the WotC Mod plugin — it causes startup errors and general issues. The regular One Million Colour Mod works fine if you add the following lines to its .ini file:

tags=
contentImage=
RequiresXPACK=true

After that, it even works with the regular 2K Mod Launcher.

Cant find the file for the fix can anyone help its not there

game not work with this mod!

I tried the both versions of the fix and it's still causing me not able to boot up the game

After tinkering for a while I just tried to boot up my mods without the wotc plugin, just the legacy One million colors and it worked fine with the new launcher.

Still does not work after doing the fix

@hyperrainbow
not sure how it's not working for you then, because it's been reliably working unless you didnt activate the mods in the launcher?

@Dantir @ItsDaKoolaidDude
Tried the fix and unfortunately nada
tried it on all 3 of the mods including sparks 1mil colour and still nothing. unsubed from all 3 and ran game then reinstalled the 3 and tried the fix and still doesn't.
ty tho still appreciate you both taking the time to help and hope the fix works for anyone else.

also here's the file for the 1mil sparks colours for whoever is looking 1134598754

Its worked for me, and its still working for me.
I literally posted the fix below

please just fix your mod.

It never worked.

The addon doesn't work.

@Dantir
Except 1133948141 already has "RequiresXPACK=true"
if it didnt show up the first time, verify file or resub to the mod to fix that.

I solved the popup error:
Do what ItsDaKoolaidDude said, but do this instead under description:

tags=
contentImage=
RequiresXPACK=true

I did this for both OneMillionColours and the Plugin for Wotc, to save time, the folders you need to find is:
1091135816 and 1133948141

Fix the fcking addon plz

It's not load up on my end for whatever reason. It work and then I turn the game off and back again and it's no longer work for whatever reason.

Just to save time because this is happening in OG mod as well and its on the thread there:
Go to the file 1091135816 and open the OneMillionColours.XComMod file (description file) (with wordpad or equivalent of it, add RequiresXPACK=true at the bottom and save. that'll shut up the game telling you the mod's missing its mod.

this is why you check the description in aml!

@Atlander1 I'm equally pleased to have helped

@SynthLizard8 oh my god that worked, your a life saver thank you so much

@Atlander1 I ran in to a issue with the onemillioncolourspluginsforWOTC too, funny enough, I just used the mod with the old manager without the WOTC patch (just using the original), try that.

Having trouble booting up the game with this mod. I try and use the old mod manager and it says there was an error detected attempting load of package: onemillioncolourspluginsforWOTC. I try and use the AML and the game just never starts. Am I stupid and missing something? Anyone know how to fix this?

For anyone in the future that's having trouble, I fixed it by starting the game and activating the mods through the OLD mod launcher.

Thanks, author! :)

that is a sign of the original OMC mod not being activated properly, the launcher typically has trouble activating mods made for the base game which the original OMC mod is, you may want to use AML instead https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

same as last 2 comments, game can't load with this enabled anymore for some reason

same, launcher does not want to load the game with this mod active now.

Having an issue where the game has an error while loading the package "OneMillionColoursPluginForWOTC", anyone got any idea what could be the cause?

thank you, smooth on LW2

Don't have emptynames installed, still dont see the sliders, not sure what the issue is.

@Luna LeFay Thanks Luna for pointing this out. ^^

@Seth1466 Thank you for this, I was trying everything wondering why it wasn't working. Disabling EmptyNames solved it for me.

Can't see the sliders, but I have empty names disabled.

Is this compatible with mods that add additional colors?

When I try using it, I have no sliders and all the mod-added colors are gone. If I disable the additional colors mods, there are still no sliders. But I disable this mod, then I do have the additional colors from the other mods.

Also I'm not using the EmptyNames mod.

For anyone not able to see the custom color sliders, there is a conflict with EmptyNames [WOTC] by thegrimsqueaker72. You will need to disable that mod in order for the custom colors sliders to show.

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

Seems not to be working with LWotC(

Installed this mod a few days ago with no problems, finished a campaign, then started a new one and the custom color sliders were not showing up. Using the suggested fix by C4nn0nF0dd3r_ made it work again. No idea what broke in-between the campaigns though.

does this mod work for lwotc

Hey uhm, there seems to be a problem with O.M.C, for whatever reason the sliders no longer work for me, the colours are all still there but the sliders aren't and all of a sudden now whenever I use this with Buildable Geth, I can't change the colours on the Geth units without the game freezing and then crashing. It wasn't like this before though as for the longest time I was just fine on being able to use O.M.C with the Buildable Geth mod but for whatever reason now this happens.

@DuM4 try clearing ur config folder (document, my games, xcom war of the chosen, xcomgame, config, delete everything in that folder (should all be .ini's)), turn off your mods, start a game (you will have to set up ur resolution, keybinds, etc., again) then after you finish that close, turn on mods, and your mod settings will be reseted. if you arent using alternative mod launcher use that before you try this.

Doesn't make any sense, it was working yesterday at night, and now it isn't anymore lol I'm getting crazy over this XD

From outta nowhere this stopped worked for me for some reason. Not the pluggin itself, but the whole mod. It was working properly like... until today. I recorded my last episode yesterday, and this was working cause I've edited a spark normally.

I didn't install any new mods, so I don't get why this is failing me.

I tried the fix mentioned here, and it sadly didn't work.

plz help XD

The short fix worked for me for one game and then it immediately doesn't work anymore even when testing the mod by itself. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do by that point?

Game doesn't start with 1 Million Colours + WoTC Plugin activated!

Error popup says "Error detected in [...]WotC Plugin file".

BrokenImage321 you can look up on google the RGB for the color you want. I found a better sky blue color here it is 52 red, 80 green and 92 blue.

I'm really enjoying this mod, but I'm having troublw with certain colors. Certain bright colors just change to white, so, when I'm going for a sky-blue, I tend to end up with a darker, royal blue.

Can I ask how the color sliders work, and what sort of scale they use (CMYK, RGB, etc.?). It doesn't look like anything I'm familiar with...

Thank You Kerse!

If you're getting the error dialog box pop up that says "Error loading package" etc., see my posts in the comments of the base mod. The issue is with the base mod, not this WOTC patch.
Short version for fix:
Find the file OneMillionColours.XComMod in your steamapps/workshop/content directory and open it in notepad. Add "RequiresXPACK=true" (without quotes) on a new line below the description.

Works with Kerse's recommended fix

if you go to manage mods and unabel, One Million Colours Plugin For WOTC. It has seem to be fixt, maby this wil help others
