Lenux Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Would it be possible to replace the font color of the left and right DDI ?? I'm using a mod which allows me to modify the HUD text color, and i thought, that should be possible for the DDI's, also Thanks in advance I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks a million, I'll give it a try right now LE : do you know, where exactly are the DDI colors ? And by the way : when i modify some colors ( generally speaking ) i'm using Color Cop, to find out the color code But Color Cop has only RGB - 0, 0, 0 / #000000 ( for example, black ) Here ( materials.lua ) are 4 codes, like : 94, 202, 0, 255 I can't find out which color is that Thank you, again Edited July 30, 2018 by Lenux I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I replaced the left / right DDI font color What about the rest ( left panel and right panel ) and everything with green, inside the cockpit ? Could you help me, please, with this location, too ?

Nate--IRL-- Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Attached - you could also change the HUD, but i prefer that green. Format seems to be R, G, B, Alpha I think.

DAN Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've settled down with black lcd/white text combination. It works nice for me. Do you know how to do it and have only MPCD to be white as the real Hornet. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAN Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Pretty nice, now that I got the white symbology I'll just need to find a way to get nice contours so it can be readable on the moving map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenovia Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I edited cockpit texture files. Here it is, just unpack it and add 3 files to FA-18C-CPT-TEXTURES archive. Of course, backup FA-18C-CPT-TEXTURES archive first. Thanks, much appreciated :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck_Henry Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Anyone want to help a fellow out and post instructions on how to create white text DDIs/AMPCD since that guy deleted all of his posts? Or did someone up at ED HQ not like that people were doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doum76 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Did someone test these new ddi font colors in vr? Does it noticably increase sharpness/readability? I made the DDI black instead of green, on my side i found it does help a bit as it adds more contrast and i like it better, doesn'T represent Lot 20, but i like most recent ones black instead of green, as per the color, might help a bit yellowish, but for sure, it's more readable on the moving map, not 500% more, but a bit more than green. As per sharpness, i edited another .lua file that makes the text a bit thiner, less bold, so does help a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oryon Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Do you know how to do it and have only MPCD to be white as the real Hornet. Thanks in the materials.lua file, there is a portion, line 27 for LMDI Below that is RMDI, and below that is HI (which is the AMPCD) MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] = {255, 255, 255, 255} -- MDI original MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.RMDI] = MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HI] = MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] By Default the RMDI, and HI (AMPCD) both reference the LMDI for color. All you have to do is replace the section after the = sign (MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.LMDI] section) with your RGB color codes, and a 255... Example: MDG_materials[MDG_SELF_IDS.HI] ={255, 0, 29, 255} Will make the AMPCD text red. You can also do the same for RMDI if you want it a separate color from the LMDI. This will allow a different color for each MDI if desired. I personally made my L and R MDIs white, and the AMPCD red. this seemed to be the best readability in VR for me... (I am still tweaking things though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
