Hi all, got a wee problem here. I know that certain components of the hud are editable (like changing colors) but I have extracted the textures for the gauges (power, shield and hull, you know, those dull ugly spaced out bars at the bottom centre ) to brighter ones but nothing.
I not much of a hex editor (not all really) but I even made it so the exe looks for hullguage.3db <-(intentional respelling to point to my hullguage.3db) instead of hullgauge.3db and no avail.
So my question is: are these color values hardcoded? Ive tried checking the exe for the hex values from photoshop for the original colors but nada. I even tried to make the original ones use ec values (emissive - glowmaps) just to spice em up but also no change.
Where is this elusive value that needs to be hexed? I did check the exe modifications but it only tells how to change the widh of the bars, well I found that out while trying other things anyway, in fact I had the bars extend from left to right across the entire screen, cool but cluttered.
Anyone got any idea?
