Hello everyone again! I'm here to ask for information to help me fix the color of the countries I create in DH.



I created some countries to play historically or even to release some puppets with some countries, but when I do the part of putting the main color of the created country, it doesn't turn the color I put, it stays yellow

For example: I created the Protectorate of Bohemia and set it to be the same color as Germany (Gray) to look like it could be "liberated" but under German control, but instead of turning gray it turns this yellow color, no like Slovakia which has a fixed color for it

First of all, what the TAG of the country you created? You showed a list, but didn't tell which of them is the Protectorate of Bohemia.
The color of Slovakia, like all other countries, can be modified in the list of posted.
Are you sure that you're modifying the correct file? It must be in your mod structure, not the base game.

Firstly, what I wanted to say in the post is that this country color problem is IN ALL the countries I created, and secondly, I also did this in the "country" folder of the DH base game

It looks like you're modifying the wrong file. You should edit the one in the folder of the mod you're modifying.
I just modified GER to be green and it worked without problem, but I modified the one in the DHFull folder, since I wanted it to appear in DHFull.

The worst thing is that I did it in the DHFull folder, but it didn't work, but I think it must be because I also modified it in the DH base file folder, I'm not sure, but I'll try to see here and then I'll send the result

Dude, I did it the way you said and it still didn't work, like, even leaving the colors in the country just right, it doesn't stay with the color, I don't know if it's a bug or I have to do the step by step of putting the code back to country color

Follow these steps:
1) Open Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\db\country.csv
2) Change:
Code: 
GER;Gray;GER;GER;;;;X
into
Code: 
GER;LightGreen;GER;GER;;;;X
3) Reload the game (needed for the changes to take effect), choose DHFull
4) Start 1936 scenario
5) Germany is now Green.

I don't know what I did to get this, but I think it's strange, because I followed the steps of creating a country exactly.

The TAG and country line is this

Uhmm... UA2 is at line 268 in my file. Can you please attach the whole file? Is savedebug reporting anything?

I made a few quick changes and here you can see the Serenissima of Venice in 1936 in Gray:

The code is, as expected, "UA2;Gray;ENG;MIN;;;;X"

My best guess at this point is that you did something wrong while modifying country.csv. When you upload, hopefully I will be able to check it.

Worse than savedebug doesn't say anything about it, and I also did what they told me to put the code as "UA2;Gray;ENG;MIN;;;;X" and it didn't change anything either

A file called colorscales.csv allows you to edit country colours. It can be found in the map folder.

IIRC that's something different. That allows to change the displayed palette of a specific color "name". But what this use wants is to change the color of a specific country, not change the color on map of all countries that have that same color "name".
I may be wrong, but that's what I understood.

I mentioned it because I seem to remember changing the colours for some countries in my Draka mod using this file.

But to change a country's colour to a colour with a different name, you would use country.csv found at db/country.
