Color Palettes - XCOM:EU 2012
Overview
The Color Palettes used in the Customization options in the Barracks are populated by XComGame.XComContentManager. The native functions in this class are directed by entries in DefaultContant.ini
ColorPaletteInfo=(Palette=ePalette_HairColor,ArchetypeName="UnitPalettes.HairColor")
Each of these links a Palette type to an ArchetypeName string, which the native function GetArchetypeFromCache uses to locate the desired object in the upk files.
The various color palettes are contained in the UnitPalettes object, located in Startup.upk. Here the arrays can be directly edited.
UnitPalette.PalleteType
Each palette object consists of a header and footer sandwiching all the individual color options.
