Colorize battlechat mod seems to be the cause.

Hmm interesting finding. Didn't expect it to change colors for whole XVM, it should only work in chat.

[Interface2037]

Seems like I got it wrong. It’s only in the chat. I use the WoTlabs rating scale and the older version of Colorized chat used that scale as well but seems to have switched over to the original XVM one. So it’s not a bug

That chat mod is reading colors from colors.xc. Check if it's corresponding with proper colors in battle chat.

The colors shown in chat are XVM original. But does not correspond to the colors in the list of players because i use Wotlabs colors.

I have the same issue.  The colorized chat uses the XVM standard colors and not the Wotlabs colors I have selected in the modpack installer.

Also, my own and some other players average tier is “0” in all XVM lists.

I still have this issue on the latest mod pack.  The colored chat mod shows the wrong colors.

We talk about [Other XVM Settings] Colorize in-battle chat ?
If so,  just installed it and checked config for chat.xc, at first glance i think "customColors": true, should be false. But i could be wrong.

[Aslain]

I changed custom colors to truth. Without that change it worked only for two digits ratings.

What a bummer, i guess replacing chat.xc colors with wotlabs 10 colors for people that use 10 colors is out of question then. (it will mess up colors for ppl that use 6 colors )

[Aslain]

Maybe that mod needs some update, but his author is inactive for quite some time.

It does appear that changing custom colors from True to False fixes the issue.  Maybe @Aslain needs to update this in the mod pack.

 

Older config files form the modpack say:

    // Use color scale from "colors" if set (use the ones from colors.xc otherwise)
    "customColors": false,

Last edit on mod_chat_color.py macro was made on Feb 6, 2017. (also original author is offline since October 2017)
Maybe xvm changed something about dynamic coloring, since it imports some xvm stuff maybe this mod/macro needs an update.

Not python expert so idk, but that's my guess.
Maybe someone more experience in that field can figure it out.

I think it was just a simple change to the XVM config files.  I have some backup copies of older config files from the modpack and it says:

    // Use color scale from "colors" if set (use the ones from colors.xc otherwise)
    "customColors": false,

 

However it appears that more recent versions of the mod pack are set to true.

I changed it to what you see in current config because it wasn't working properly.

WN8 chat colors are 2 levels low from what they are suppose to be

I've been running your modpack with the "customColors": false, edited config since the 15th without issue.  What was the problem that it caused before?

[Aslain]

The issue was that player names wasn't colored with rating.

Well I fixed the issue(at elast for me) with the players names not being the appropriate color for the rating with customColors set to false.
