Menu color help

The gauge colors are actually hardcoded into Freelancer.exe. The aforementioned script lets you change them, as does FL Hack (which also lets you change order).

Using the Fl Colors script, I changed the group color to orange…

This Fl Colors tool seems extremely useful. However I can’t find any explanation as to how it works anywhere though. I have two files unzipped, Fl Colors.lng and Fl Colors.mps (which can be read by Wordpad) but they produce a code (probably the aforementioned scripts) of which I don’t know how to use it, or which program to relate to it.

So, how to use Fl Colors?

Install Tiny Hexer, copy/extract FlColors to the scripts directory, start Tiny Hexer, open Freelancer.exe, Tools>Scripts>Freelancer Colors.

Yes I tried that, unfortunately the Tiny Hexer website asks for a username and password. Ideas?

and this works at the frame what there is around the text and icons?

@Adoxa: Thanks for the explanation. Saves me a lot of time.

@Sumanuti: Thanks m8, appreciate it. Sorry I didn’t search for it myself and taking the easy way here. Haven’t had much time on my hands lately and it has slipped through.

@Hunor: I love your HUD man, nice work.

Thank you, very kind from you! But this nothing special, only black and white
And the Tiny Hexer and FlColors works well! Oh that is a nice work!

Not exactly. The “Main” color will do the whole lot - frame, text, scroll bar, close button and heading, and lots of other stuff besides. Separating all of those would probably be a whole lot of work I don’t want to do.

Hi,

I can’t for the life of me find 2 things,

The Group/System Icons/Colours shown in screenie
The .cmp?? for the chat box, I’m guessing that’s where I can change the colour of the surround?

Can anyone help please?

Cheers,
Rik

The square is stored in a .bmp image which you can find at

DATA/INTERFACE/IMAGES/groupcolour.bmp

are you sure? that doesn’t sound right at all…
For a start it’s not in the CAB files.

Thanks,
Rik

It’s DATA/INTERFACE/INTRO/IMAGES

Think he forgot the ‘INTRO’ part.

Yeah that’s it.

Cool thanks guys, I also found the texture for the pop up chat text box in:
interface\neuronet\chat\chat.txm
so I’m a step closer to my goal, however the surround for group and system are still the original colours, pink for group and light blue for system, anyone know how to change this?

Cheers,
Rik

I’ll have a look. Will let you know if I find it.

211568 - Local
21156C - Private
211570 - Group

What are the offsets for these colors in Freelancer.exe exactly?

Those numbers are the offsets.
