I found the list of files to change menu colors from the old TLR archive. I have changed them all and gotten everything the way I want it except for the corners of most large menus.

I see from screenshots here that at least one mod has succeeded in fixing this color. Care to share the info?

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

It took me awhile to figure out what you two were on about hehe. Got that figured out and fixed that line in 29 files. Still no luck getting rid of the default blue. Going blind here lol.

edit...I assumed you meant to add the cmp-specific unique number to the ones that didn't have it. Maybe you meant to delete the number from the ones that did? Testing...

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

@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.)

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.

Code:

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

199dcb: 80 80 80 # and again
