I'd like to add that it would be nice if in the next release we could change colors as easily as in BA, tech ann or other mods I guess.
I just tried the hard way and my com was invisible and the game crashed. I'd wait for the next release of zero k.
Thank you.
P.S.:I hate being cyan!

Power user question get a power user answer. Disable the teamcolours widget and place this code in a file in your engine installation called "teamcolours.lua"

You may already have such a file in which case "local disabled

true" needs to be changed to "local disabled

false".

Following text is the file contents of the file:

Necroing thread.
Could someone please fix this:

if VFS.FileExists("Luaui/Configs/LocalColors.lua") then -- user override
    colorCFG = VFS.Include("Luaui/Configs/LocalColors.lua")
    Spring.Echo("Loaded local team color config.")
elseif VFS.FileExists("Luaui/Configs/ZKTeamColors.lua") then
    colorCFG = VFS.Include("Luaui/Configs/ZKTeamColors.lua")
else
    error("missing file: Luaui/Configs/LocalColors.lua")
end

to something like this:

if VFS.FileExists(LUAUI_DIRNAME .. "Configs/LocalColors.lua") then -- user override
    colorCFG = VFS.Include(LUAUI_DIRNAME .. "Configs/LocalColors.lua")
    Spring.Echo("Loaded local team color config.")
elseif VFS.FileExists(LUAUI_DIRNAME .. "Configs/ZKTeamColors.lua") then
    colorCFG = VFS.Include(LUAUI_DIRNAME .. "Configs/ZKTeamColors.lua")
else
    error("missing file: " .. LUAUI_DIRNAME .. "Configs/LocalColors.lua")
end

It appears LUAUI_DIRNAME == LuaUI\, and real file system part of VFS (virtual file system i presume) is case sensetive (at least under linux). Its just not funny to have 2 different folders Luaui and LuaUI :(

Bug relevant to v1.2.7.7 (and prior)

Thanks for quick fix (v.1.2.7.8)
About pull request: will consider it next time. I'm too lazy atm and thought those little changes not woth cloning, commiting, pulling, requesting...
