I think set warn colour actually only works when you use the log parameter, second one in on the example below (rather than warn or error)

```auto

UE_LOG( LogYourCategory, Log, TEXT("%s%s() : %s"), NETMODE_WORLD, FUNC_NAME, *Msg);\

```

My suspicion is that warn and error have their own overrides.

You have to use CLEAR\_WARN\_COLOR afterwards to go back to how it was. As I said on the answers page, there’s a wiki about custom log files here
