@J. FAITH: Use the community mod manager, the vanilla ones are all crap.

the removal of the 2k launcher made it stop working with the new launcher

thanks for fucking my files up , useless

Just host the file... bro just make a mod of the fixed color holy crap it's been 9 years.

compatible con LWOTCH thanks

Nevermind. For anybody who wants to know, I copies the readme.txt for you to read.

"What you do is, you go to the mod's Content folder (if you are using the Alternative Mod Launcher, simply right-click on the mod and select "Open in Explorer." If you aren't, then the path is steamapps\workshop\content\268500\629604401\Content)

In the Content folder, copy and replace the Expandedarmorcolors file with the one from my link. That SHOULD work, BUT if it doesn't, then delete the mod, redownload it, go into the game, find the black colors which aren't properly black, write down the NUMBER of the color in the game (each color you select has a corresponding number on the screen.) Then you upload your own Expandedarmorcolors file, send the link to me along with the numbers you wrote down, and I'll edit the file for you."

@AgRipnus @Mean-Spirited How do you use the .upk file for AML?

@Miku1234 Download the file from AgRipnus one post below yours (in general I recommend people do this), it makes the color a true black, works fine, can recommend.

@Elliott
Make sure you've enabled the mod are are using AML
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

Is not detected in mods when the game is launched. Any fix?

man I'm so annoyed that you put 0.01 blue for the black so it's not black anymore

Sharing my custom file. This combines the true black fix and adds a couple more green and lime shades to the bottom of the palette in a way that won't mess with any of the existing colors.

@MOHEEB47
Works fine, just downloaded it again.

@Dragon32
Can you reupload it please? the mediafire link wont work , actually mediafire won't load up at all

@Lebowskichild
Go to the MediaFire URL in this post and download it. You need to edit the URL a little bit, Steam randomly removes links without rhyme or reason.

@Dragon32 I see you are directing people to a link that fixes the black being navy issue, and I can't figure out how to use it. Could you direct me on how to get to that fix?

@Blackforge
You can enable a button for the original game in AML's options

zin, from what I see the AML requires WotC or Chimera Squad. Do I still use the launcher you suggested if I do not have either expansion/DLC?

@rainbeon actual lifesaver i cant even lie, cheers

As of August 23rd 2023 this mod still works and functions with WoTC, for those who wish to know :)

does it work with wotc?

You should not use the default launcher for modding XCOM 2 if you want to have a pleasant experience.
Use AML:
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

Does not work in the 2K Launcher because of the NOTES section in the Steam description, specifically the parts that says ColorPaletteInfo= and so on, as the 2K Launcher is reading this and trying to do something with it, and failing. (Fields are set in the .XComMod, like Title=, Description=, etc. and it is reading this as a field and not part of the description).

For any normal users, to get it running the 2K Launcher, in your Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\629604401 folder you should open Morearmorcolors.XComMod and delete the NOTES section yourself, and manually save. It'll appear in the 2K Launcher after a refresh

same wotc needed

Would love a WotC version!

Any chance you can update these mods for the new launcher and WoTC? I was only able to get the eye and hair color mods working, by manually copying them to the mods folder. I was unable to get the armor and skin color mods working. None of them show up in the new 2K launcher. Maybe compile them into a single mod, thanks.

@RedMeatAndGreens
Yeah I realised that may not have been obvious. Steam will remove links from time to time, with criteria and frequency that's entirely a mystery.

@Dragon32
Finally figured it out! That "mediafire dot com" was messing with me. :-P Guess Steam has restrictions on posting direct URLs. Thanks again for your guidance!
The updated mod even updated the secondary colors to include real black too!

@RedMeatAndGreens
Like I said, the link works. I downloaded the mod yesterday. You need to edit the URL.

Thanks for getting back to me. I saw that comment, & that link's dead. I click & this shows up...

@RedMeatAndGreens
Oh. Scroll back to here:

towner64 29 Feb, 2020 @ 4:26pm

Download that. I thought you'd seen that and failed to download it.

@Dragon32
It is for me. Color 94 is the issue.
No mod...

To be clear, I'm playing WOTC & have only 15 mods. This is the only color mod that's installed. I'm aware that this mod is probably for the vanilla version & hasn't been updated since 2016. Was hoping that there was some help in the older comments. Unfortunately, that link is dead. Appreciate it if you could help?

@RedMeatAndGreens
No it's not, I just downloaded it

Good mod with the expanded selection of colors, but the real black color in the main armor colors selection is still changed to that dark navy blue. Does someone have a fix? The link for the fix in the older comments is dead. :-( Appreciate it if someone can help.

@the lag is real
No it's not, I just downloaded it

Yeah so apparently the real black color is gone, which is a bummer since that's what I was kinda hoping to use

Never mind, I am dumb. Thank you very much @Dragon32

Can't be reached. @Dragon32

@Elmer Fudd
It's because this is a pre-WotC mod. Check the Last Updated Date. There's a link to download a version with a black in the Comments

Love your mod but why in the name of christ did you remove black?

What number is "real black".

@ [B4um|EonStrike]LuWickios97
Didn't work for me

Cool thanks. Worked fine with XCom launcher https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/releases/tag/v1.4.1

Here's a solution for everyone who is not seeing the mod in the mod list of 2K's launcher.
It seems to be an issue for some addons. This following method worked on both workshop
addons I had problems with.

1. Go to Steam/SteamApps/workshop/content/268500/629604401
2. Open the file ''Morearmorcolors.XComMod''
3. Delete the description, something in it is causing the issue, might be the overall length of it
4. Save it
5. Refresh the mods in the 2K launcher, it should appear now
6. You're welcome~

@Pinkillah
2K's launcher is rubbish, use one that works:
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

I'm able to subscribe to this mod, but it doesn't show up in the 2k launcher. Has anyone else had this problem?

Missing the bright cyan blue/green colors

still no black

@Psyclops
This mod hasn't been updated in more than four years

WTF? Why did you remove the dark blueish-green color for the armor? The one color that I use on 6 of my guys and you remove it! XD
