No. These mods requires MPQ editing.

As I said in 1st post, you can lower saturation via editing settings file

Damnit, I hoped that this ugly, stream infesting MOD would die out with 1.5.

Check this out:



Orb uses the stronger color mod because he has difficulty telling the difference in PvP between units without it depending on the colors. Knowing other colorblind friends that also had extreme difficulty playing starcraft, I think it's pretty easy to say this change really really fucked them up, and Orb is pissed off.

How can people not understand what's going on? They see caps lock and HERP DERP and think he's being serious? for reals?

Thanks so much for your work here! I never used it out of fear of repercussions from Blizzard but I always thought the STC made watching the game so much clearer. I think you have a great idea here with this project that definitely helps solve the problem, but it's a shame that the increased saturation applies to everything you see (and not just the units). I really hope that they provide an interface for strengthening team colors and custom backgrounds soon... I'm not even remotely color blind and I find the game really hard to watch sometimes because you can't tell whose lings are whose, or whose zealots are whose, etc.

Damnit, before 1.5 I would specifically combine and use the most desaturated version of darkd3 and stonger team color mods for great contrast (its also a lot easier on the eyes), but it seems that with 1.5 you have to pick whether you want to use one or the other and as such I am definately picking darkd3. I am using darkd3 precisely because I find stock SC2 to be way oversaturated, so INCREASING the saturation for everything is a huge no-no.

You can edit it too, so it will stay with same brightness and only decrease saturation.

I do this with my colors. Instead of breaking TOS, I just spend a few minutes in my Color Settings and tweak them. Same effect.

This mod does not break TOS, untill it gives you advatange. Jay Wilson aproved Darker Diablo 3 mod with same words on his twitter.



And this Stronger Color mod allows you to don't have saturated graphic ALL TIME, because you can toggle it off

If I am reading the OP right, since 1.5 the saturation/desaturation is an all-or-nothing affair and since the whole stronger team color effect now is achieved via increasing saturation (before it was MPQ editing) of everything, you can't actually have a "desaturated game, oversaturated team models" anymore. You have to pick 1 or the other.

Yes, thats true. I've just said, that you can delete darker effect of default DarkerD3 mod and stay only with desaturation.

For now, these graphic addons are work only, and UI Changer overlay mods - they work too.

Skip the mod, just go to your video card settings and increase the color saturation..

It's not a mod, and it does not break ToS.

Via card settings you can't toggle it OFF. With this mod you can have it only for game and only for some time, if you want, and toggle it back, if you got mirror match or dark map.

Thanks for everything you're doing for the SC2 community. That mod was really important for a lot of people and even though Blizzard made a promise about some kind of blind color mod in the future, that temporary solutions seems like the best. Thanks again.

that's a horrible key to bind it to, i'd recommend you move it

you have no idea how badly i'd rage if i spilled coffee on something then went to go pause the game abruptly and it doesn't pause

As I said, it's a cheap way to bring back STC. If you don't like it, then you can don't install it and stay with default colors. I don't like STC too, but this graphic addon is for those, who can't play without STC


I think you missed the point the post was making. The suggestion was that a key other than 'pause' might be preferable as the toggle, as that key is used to pause the game.

The best solution is to rebind pause hotkey to other hotkey, like P for example.

Thanks found the folder.
But the mod does not work for me.
The game does not boot up with it installed.
I removed the file and the startup.exe works again.

Added 2nd variant, that contains less color saturation increase. In result you can download 2 variants - 200% increased color saturation (that you can see on screenshots) and weaker - 100% increased color saturation.
