[WOTC] Change Default Weapon Color

Description
Allows changing the default weapon color of soldiers with randomly generated appearance. Has no effect on Character Pool soldiers.

The new default color is black, but you can change it via Mod Config Menu.

REQUIREMENTS
The mod is safe to install or remove during an on-going campaign, but it won't change the default weapon color for already existing characters, just the newly generated ones.

COMPATIBILITY

Overrides iDefaultWeaponTint configuration value in Highlander through script.

Soldiers generated by custom XGCharacterGenerator classes may not respect the new default weapon color setting.

This mod has no mod class overrides and should be compatible with Unrestricted Customization - Wotc and [WOTC] Clean Soldier Generation.

Compatible with mods that add more weapon colors, but probalby won't be compatible with the Million Colors one.

CONFIGURATION

If for some reason you don't want to use MCM, you can set the default weapon color in:
..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1628666131\Config\XComDefaultWeaponColor_DEFAULT.ini

CREDITS

This mod was commissioned by VolkLogan.

Ok it does work for me, just not on the Gatecrasher soldiers. When they get their class after the mission their weapon changes color to 94

Doesn't seem to work with LWOTC, at least on the Gatecrasher soldiers. Any idea on what could cause it? I am using Randomized Gatecrasher Loadouts...

This mod will not affect soldiers from Character Pool, intentionally. You have to set their weapon color in Character Pool yourself.

@Phoenix
I tested and can confirm the issue, I'll look into it.

This mod seems to only affect regular soldiers and not faction heroes' weapons. Would it be possible to add an option for it to affect faction heroes' weapons as well?

I should probably add, that if i add these soldiers, it says their weapon color is black/94 but it doesnt show unless i manually change it back..but as i said only for the 4 soldiers of the first mission

I realized that in the first tutorial mission, this mod doesnt work. It used to work in the last months i believe but bc of issues with character pool i got the mod unrestricted customization and now if i start a new game the 4 soldiers wont have the set color from this config. I dont know if its sth to do with unrestricted customization, but AML doesnt say anything and im not sure if its not even supposed to work in the first place. Any Idea why this is the case?

If this worked consistently, it would be fantastic. I have no idea why the default colour is beige. Blech!

Fixed, thanks.

your link to unrestricted customization here also leads to clean soldier generation, fyi
