Ground Branch How to change / restrict kit color Print

Looking to order a Ground Branch Server? Click here to order your Ground Branch Server!

This article will show you how to change and restrict kit color/colours on your ground branch server configuration.

It is possible to set up kit colour restrictions, the developers have stated that here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/16900/discussions/0/5673948479049332714/?ctp=2

First, you need to enable "Team Restrictions".

Select the "Change All Settings" command line in the command line manager, tick the tick box next to "Use Team Restrictions?" and then click the "Blue" apply button.

Then click "Configuration Files", click "Text-Editor" next to "Maplist.ini" and add the following to the end of each map's line:

?useteamrestrictions=1

For example:

MapList=/Game/GroundBranch/Maps/SmallTown/SmallTown?Mission=/Game/GroundBranch/Mission/SmallTown/Uplink?roundtime=60?defendersetuptime=30?timeofday=0800?timelimit=60?readycountdowntime=60?spectatefreecam=0?spectateenemies=0?spectateforcefirstperson=1?useteamrestrictions=1

Save the file in the top left.

Now it's time to make the files edits that change / restrict kit color.

The files you need to edit are the Blue.res and Red.res files found at GroundBranch\Content\GroundBranch\DefaultLoadouts\Blue.res and GroundBranch\Content\GroundBranch\DefaultLoadouts\Red.res

Those two files can be found in the "Configuration Files" section of the game panel for easy editing.

Stop your server, then make the edits as follows:

BEFORE

		{
			"AssetType": "HeadGear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"OCP",
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},

AFTER

		{
			"AssetType": "HeadGear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black"
			]
		},

You are changing the Whitelist value to your desired colour for that type of clothing. You can perform this change for all clothing types.

If you want to set up your server so that the Blue team's clothing is restricted to Blue/Black combo and the Red team's clothing is restricted to Red/Khaki so that each team is very distinct, make the changes below:

Blue.res

{
	"Skins": [
		{
			"AssetType": "HeadGear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Shirt",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Pants",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "EyeWear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "FaceWear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Gloves",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black",
				"Blue",
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "FootWear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black",
				"Blue",
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Platform",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black",
				"Blue",
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Belt",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black",
				"Blue",
				"Navy"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Holster",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Black",
				"Blue",
				"Navy"
			]
		}
	]
}

Blue team characters would look like this:

Red.res

{
	"Skins": [
		{
			"AssetType": "HeadGear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Shirt",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Red"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Pants",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "EyeWear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "FaceWear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Red",
			]
		},
				{
			"AssetType": "Gloves",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "FootWear",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Platform",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Belt",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		},
		{
			"AssetType": "Holster",
			"Whitelist": [
				"Tan",
				"Khaki",
				"CoyoteBrown"
			]
		}
	]
}

Red team characters would look like this:
