Unit color issues

[Foozy]

Ok, here's the deal:
I'm creating a campaign and for some reason, I can't get the unit colors to change for the teams.

For example, in one level I have Player 1 (computer) and player 10 (user) (from Player Properties). That should make every unit I place for player 10 come out to be Light Blue (right?), and in the editor they do. But when I start the game they all come out Blue (a la Player 2, and player 2 is turned off!).

I have fixed player settings checked, and I've tried all the standard methods (Player - Change color; Unit Group - select all and change color) but they don't work.

Is there some flag or something I forgot to check? :banghead:

Thanks in advance.

When ever you test the game it comes out this way... Did this happen in a warcraft game. Not a test?

 

[Foozy]

Yeah, I tried running it in the normal game and same problem.

Basically, if Player 1 is computer, the game is forcing me to be Player 2, colorwise (even though I want to be Player 10).

EDIT: Interesting side notes: on the screen where I get to choose teams, etc. it shows up as Light Blue, but in game it's still just Blue. Also, the colour in the background of the unit portraits is correct, just the unit models aren't.

Try clicking Fixed Player Settings in the Forces tab.

That sounds wonky. I've got no idea how that could ever be intentional. I'm thinking a reinstall might be a good idea here.

I know!
That's why I'm here, doing this ---> :banghead:
I think that's a good call, though: it's reinstall time.

That does sound wonky. But perhaps you mistook blue for blue? Don't reinstall.

you seem to be a little jumpy with your reinstalling... doing that usually makes more problems than it fixes and doing it all for a little color thingy is a waste...
