@adoxa

My bad, sorry. Those files reffering to the tga swap, 29, as DwnUndr wrote not for Dc settings.

Does your last list contains all of the files what need to be modified if i play with Dc settings (menucolor, hud, etc…)?

I still don’t follow. Since you mentioned 29 files, I figured you were referring to “Got that figured out and fixed that line in 29 files.” which was about the INV_insideframecolor Dc adjustment.

That list was just the files that contained the INV line and finding that node for DwnUnder is all I’ve done. (BTW, in the interface directory and its subdirectories, there are 123 files containing a Dc node.)

Nah… Ive found this 27 files, but i swapped the tgas and accidentally i need also 2 more because at the menu still 2 color are default.
Its such a coincidence thats all.

Well hey, I know it’s a slight tangent but… Has anyone figured out how to change the text color in the game? It’s really the last bit that’d allow for totally different HUD colors. Oh, the yellow “highlight” would be nice too.

Adoxa?

I dont want to write any stupid thing, but in the Fonts folder, there is a file called rich_fonts.ini.
It contains colors also, but i dont know if it is or not.

That only controls very specific fonts, not the main UI ones.

The text of some dialogs (like bribes) can be changed by using STYLE_NN in rich_fonts.ini. Everything else is hardcoded into Freelancer.exe.

0bd8ec: 43 # R of tooltip background
0bd8f1: 61 # G
0bd8f6: 70 # B
0bd933: b9 # R of tooltip text
0bd938: f7 # G
0bd90b: ff # B (this is e0 of an unused color)
0bd92a: 0f # change it from 0e so above works
15b22c: ff # R of selected maneuver icon
15b231: ff # G
15b236: 00 # B
15b2cb: ff # R of selected neural net icon
15b2d0: ff # G
15b2d5: 00 # B
15b2f6: ff # A of both
161be6: 87 # R of main text color (aqua)
161bed: c3 # G
161bf4: e0 # B
161bfb: c0 # A
161c06: 87 # R of main color (aqua)
161c0d: c3 # G
161c14: e0 # B
161c1b: ff # A
161c66: f5 # R of selected color (yellow)
161c6d: ea # G
161c74: 52 # B
161c7b: ff # A
161ce1: 80 # RGB of disabled icons
161cf7: ff # A
199da6: 87 c3 e0 # RGB of some buttons
199dab: 87 c3 e0 # and again
199dc6: 80 80 80 # RGB of disabled buttons

```If you want to have a go at decoding those ones I've missed, use the attached stylehash program (command line).

Adoxa man, youve found something ive been wantin to change for YEARS. dies

major kudos for you!!!

Just updated it with the selected maneuver & neural net icons.

I think I just got a semi chubby looking at that. Good job dude.

Updated the style list. Got them all now, except for two which aren’t used anyway.

Attached is a Tiny Hexer script to edit the hardcoded colors. I’ve completed the collection, so with this, the styles and cmp editing, you should pretty much have it all. Note that even if you cancel, patches are still made to allow individual component selection and to separate reused colors (e.g. the same red is used for hostile reputation, missile/trail/radiation/lag alerts, target’s hull status and a slow ping).

awww… adoxa is going to put us out of business making it easy like that.

j/k mate, good work as usual.

@DwnUndr

Thanks!

EDIT:
just a bit amendment to those ppl who want to repaint this default dark blue color in the game too, what DwnUndr mentioned at his first post:

INTERFACE/HUD:

hud_nnbox5.cmp
hud_nnbox6.cmp
hud_nnbox7.cmp

search for Material#24……—>Dc
This is the right upper box which conatins the navmap, info, player status, inventory.

hud_maneuverbox2.cmp
hud_maneuverbox3.cmp
hud_maneuverbox4.cmp
hud_maneuverbox5.cmp
hud_maneuverbox6.cmp

search for Material#24…—>Dc
This is the middle upper box, which contains the goto, dock, formation.

hud_numberboxes.cmp
hud_shipinfo.cmp
hud_shipinfo_min.cmp
hud_target.cmp
hud_target_min.cmp

search for Material#24…—>Dc
These are the bottom left, right, middle windows contain the ship, station, etc… status (left), shield weapon status (middle), and the ship’s weapons, bots and batteries status (right).

and:

all front_button.cmp files in all folder:

search for Material#4…—>Dc

INTERFACE/INTRO/OBJECTS:

front_loadingbar.cmp

search for Material#4021220115007–->Dc

If you modify this files with same color you modified the INV_insideframecolor materials you get same result in the game.

I tried editing the value for NN_GROUP and there seems to be a problem; the colour of the text that I am typing into group chat has changed in colour whereas the group chat text that has already been sent or received from other group members is still magenta. Is there any fix for this or am I just missing something?

EDIT: I am trying to change the colour of group chat. And yes, it does work, but as I mentioned above, only for the text I am currently typing.
