I imagine the cross hair would be a texture, and so it should be changeable by changing the texture for it to something else, i personally don't know how thought.

Adoxa created a tool for changing the colours of many things, crosshair was probably one of them.
It's called freelancer colors and you can find it here!

hmm, another nice find, I could use this colour change thing, however there is no indication where to put these, or how to edit them as there is no readme with the file.

What do you mean? Just run the tool, it hacks freelancer exe from what I remember, no need to put anything anywhere.

[Cursor] nickname = hostile anim = neutral, 1, 0 hotspot = 32, 32 blend = 4 spin = 0 scale = 0.450000 color = 191, 29, 29, 255 [Cursor] nickname = fire anim = hostile_fire, 1, 0 hotspot = 32, 32 blend = 4 spin = 10 color = 191, 29, 29, 255 scale = 0.450000 Colors you may see in mouse.ini: color = 255, 255, 255, 255 = White (Neutral Target) color = 135, 195, 224, 255 = Cyan/Light Blue color color = 191, 29, 29, 255 = Red (Hostile Target) color = 59, 191, 29, 255 = Green (Friendly Target)

What Bob said. Get tiny hexer and use the tool adoxa made. You'll figure out what to do with the script once you get it.

Most of the ini files (w/ exception to one or two) are encrypted. You have to use Bini to decrypt the ini file to readable text. You can find it at http://www.swat-portal.com/php/lancer ... DBFileDownload&dataID=719 It's simple to use, much easier than a hex editor.. it's a single .exe file that can be ran in dos, though I find it easiest to just drag and drop the ini file over the bini.exe icon in windows. This will decompile the ini and save it as an ini.txt file within the original .ini's folder (Ex: Freelancer\Data\Mouse.ini will save the decompiled file as Freelancer\Data\Mouse.ini.txt). Rename the original ini (or delete if you're feeling brave), I usually go with .ini.orig, and then rename the .ini.txt to just .ini. You don't need to worry about recompiling it as freelancer will use the file in the readable format as well as the original compilation. With this, you can actually begin modding more than just the colors on crosshairs, if you'd like. You can change the reward amounts for specific missions, you can change cruise speed, change cargo size of ships, armor and HP for ships, change values of commodities in certain bases, change the ships that are for sale at certain bases, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Of course, it may take a little effort to review the various values assigned for various entries to get an idea of how to adjust certain values... other times it's sometimes trial and error to get something the way you want it.

I can't find the targetting blocks - like, when you click on a ship a kind of frame goes around it? I can't find where to change those colors, but I was able to change the color of the reticle where you click to aim your weapons.

Hahukum, check this thread; http://the-starport.net/modules/newbb ... &order=ASC&status=&mode=0
It's the only time I remember seeing a different coloured frame on ships. (see adoxa's post)

oh wow, so the targeting is linked to the font color... I guess that makes things... easier? Also, no wonder I couldn't find anything other than the arrows in buttontextures.txm..
JIC RGB values are not one's strong suit... here's the color references found in that rich_font.ini (will have to use Bini to decompile and edit the .ini)
