Menu color help

you need to look for a Dc node in various files, its CRC errors GALOUR for the HUD… my hud editing guide should have it all availible and stuffs… dunno where it is tho lol goes and hunts

Looks like they’re all called INV_insideframecolor. So for the character selection one, it’s DATA\INTERFACE\INTRO\OPTIONS\front_characselectbox.cmp\Material Library\INV_insideframecolor020903211356\Dc

The Dc value contains the RGB color, as floats between 0 and 1. Edit those to change the color.

Ive already found 27 files:

interface/baseside:

-city_maneuvertab1.cmp
-city_maneuvertab2.cmp
-city_maneuvertab3.cmp

interface/intro/objects:

-front_button.cmp

@DwnUndr
Can you tell me what are the 2 more files?

Thanks in advance,

@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.

0bd8f6: 70 # B
0bd933: b9 # R of tooltip text

0bd90b: ff # B (this is e0 of an unused color)
0bd92a: 0f # change it from 0e so above works

```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.
