== United Colors: Storm of Zehir compatible version ==
This is the SoZ compatible version of United Colors. Note that I have not created United Colors; I simply modified the existing version of it to support SoZ. It was no more than editing one single entry and copy-pasting a few lines, so all credit goes to the original author, gaoneng.
Oh, and if by any chance gaoneng feels insulted and requires me to delete this, I will, since I have not gained his permission to edit his work. Unless that happens, enjoy!

For the procedure I just posted, include the quotes in your Find/Replace.

Download this mod and make a copy of the chargen_appearancex2.xml file. Rename the copy to ig_chargen_appearance.xml, then open it in a text editor like notepad++. Do a find/replace for all instances of "CHARGEN" to "IG_CHARGEN" (there should be 28 instances).
This will make the mod work with party creation. Thanks, Flashblade!
Talus057, he DID log in since the post, since he did respond to one of the comments. >.> please get your facts straight before making a post.
I've just downloaded this (don't have SoZ yet, but I'm gonna get it over the weekend) so I don't have any comments on it yet.

Thanks Flashblade. It was really easy using TextPad and replace_all with match_whole_words selected.
But I don't think this is going to be updated. The author hasn't logged in since he posted this. I wish people would stop doing that. Not to be rude but if you aren't going to login to check up on your mod then don't even bother posting it.
Of course there where loads of CHARGEN references that need to be changed to IG_CHARGEN. I did this for myself now. I could post the file but this is XiNAVRO work really so I don't think I should. Making the change inside the xml is as easy as it gets anyway. ;)
Flashblade: Actually you can't do that. If you just copy the file, I think it will refer to the wrong Chargen_appearance inside the doc. Bugs out on exit char creation. At least for me.
Some lines have to be altered methinks.
I have got the party creation problem figured out. There is a new set of ig_chargen_x.xml in the ui folder. Everybody can fix this in a jiffy. Just make a copy of the modded chargen_appearancex2.xml and rename it to ig_chargen_appearance.xml and you are good to go. Of course it wouldn't hurt to update the ui change here with said file. ;)

Thank you, I was so upset after installing SoZ that united colors wasn't working. I had actually been trying to figure out how to update it for myself but I'm glad that you did it for me.
Also, I was wondering if anybody has been able to locate party creation xml? It should largely be a cut and paste job after that right? _________________________ NWN2 Voting Standards - Tattoo it on your forehead.

Got the same issue here, works fine in character creation, but when creating the party, i get various shades of grey (white to black) and red and gold at the end for all types: hair skin eyes etc.... at least it works for the main character though, good start :)
I can confirm that it doesn't work in the SoZ 'party register' creation screens. It actually uses the first few colors of the full palette, so it's pretty unusable for that unless you like all grey characters.
Offkorn // That's odd, since I am using the one I made and am having no issues whatsoever with it. And I double-checked the file I've uploaded; it's identical to the one I have (and you can tell from the screenshot that I have it working). Check if you have any other file by the same name in one of the sub-folders of your Override folder. _________________________ if (!coffee) then moreWork=false; else moreSleep=true;
I notice that you didn't alter the chargen_appearancex2.xml file... which may explain why I'm still only getting 10 color options using this version. _________________________ Nemo non Morior Anime Overviews MP3 Player Playlist
Easy. There are a *lot* of people out there that would have a royal fit for not asking permission to use, let alone modify their stuff. Hopefully he won't, but will smile that someone would do what's been done here.
Thanks for submission XiNAVRO!! _________________________ We are all born ignorant, but one must work to remain ignorant.
