i got thinking about it and i think we should ethier make a clear unit color or make it so u dont need colors
why some people might ask?
well i dont really know but id think it would be pretty cool to be colorless
unit color as in wireframe? name? sprite?
there's always black for all of that o_O
You dont make colors, you just pick a number for player colors. Like 1 is red, 2 is blue, 3 is teal etc etc. With starforge you can pick from 8 more colors than normal, and after that you can go up to 255 but they are all black i think.
there are many kill-eye colors. some rly good ones and lotsa black
isnt everything a color though? or do u mean transparent so they are almost invisible?
A unit without color defined would be pink. If you look at the individual unit sprite frames, you can see the pink areas. Those are replaced by the player's color.
In order to make a colorless color, you would have to crack Starcraft and change one of the colors. A mod could also make a colorless unit. The only colorless units are critters. To make a unit seem colorless, have a player own a unit whos color matches the unit. Like A white player owning a medis or a red player owning a Darl Archon. I think that's it.
Actually, there are a few "colorless" colors, but are only for some terrains. In space you can have stars on the units instead of a real color. Just try exparimenting with some things.
Actually Red = 0, and upwards, but anyhow getting onto further thoughts, you can access the pink style in the end, its just a highlighted version of Grey, in its plainest form...

Actually they're purple.
And I suppose you've extracted the .GRPs and converted them to .BMPs?
Yes, I have. GG. I'll post image in 1 sec.
See PURPLE! P-U-R-P-L-E!!!
Purple is darker. This is pink.I'd say it's a midpoint purply-pink.
[center]A transparent colored unit... That'd be just a unit with their color patches they have invisible on them. That'd be weird... Imagine a Science Facility with no dome on the top of it.[/center]
i like extracting the grps and converting them to bmps
i take them and make the animations which i fiddle with on gamemaker
