herig2 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have tried doing a search, and looking in any files that seem to be link to the MP chat window. And been very unsuccessful. Does any one know or can suggest what files, that the chat colors are located. I trying to change the color of the blue side chat. The dark blue is very hard to see against a dark background, such as a overcast sky or at night. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I suspect it is hard coded, but if you find a way to change it I'm interested too. Blue text is very difficult to read.

herig2 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Maybe someone from ED can give me a hint, I now looking in the Theme LUA file. Could the chat text color be designate to something such as, setMEScrollthemeColor ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team c0ff Posted June 1, 2010 ED Team Share Posted June 1, 2010 It's possible to change message colors, but it requires a minor tweak: in Scripts/net/main.lua line 62: -- bind config server.config = config.server client.config = config.client add a line: -- bind config server.config = config.server client.config = config.client ui = config.ui -- <--THIS LINE Now, you can add a section to your Config/network.cfg: ui = { local_player_color = 0xE8C500, other_player_color = 0xFFFFFF, log_msg_color = 0xFF9000, side_none_color = 0xFFFFFF, side_red_color = 0xFF0000, side_blue_color = 0x0000FF, } I've shown default values. Hope you can figure out the meaning of variables yourself. 2 Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2.

Case Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I've shown default values. Hope you can figure out the meaning of variables yourself. For anyone wondering what they mean: http://html-color-codes.com/ Anything after the 0x are hexadecimal color codes, specifying red, green and blue in hexadecimal numbers running from 0 (00) to 255 (FF). So red is FF0000, green is 00FF00 and blue is 0000FF. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Sov13t Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Great. Thanks a lot c0ff! Perhaps move this to the Mod Section? The blue definitely needs tweaking. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 51st PVO Regiment | Forum | Statistics DCS: MiG-21Bis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herig2 Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Ok, I was thrown a curve, I copy and paste the section that had the hexadecimal color codes. but when I open the file they were change to a run of numbers. After playing around I found that after inserting the hexadecimal color code, it would change to a run of numbers. ( not being a computer guy, I do not know the how or the whys for the change). The hard part was choosing a color. Being a ground pounder green, brown, tan was out. Sunrise or sunsets ruled out yellow, and light blue was a no-no. White is used by the servers. I settle on a bright pink. It also catches my eye if I studying the ground. (looking for targets). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggy MacDouche Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I still don't get how to do this. As per the instructions, I found the main.lua file in the Scripst/Net folder and added the line. But I can't find the network.cfg file in the Config folder. I'm thinking that the files structure may have changed since final.

Case Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This mod also works in A-10C, the only thing is that network.cfg is located in $HOME\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\network.cfg Thanks to c0ff for pointing this out. It's possible to change message colors, but it requires a minor tweak: in Scripts/net/main.lua line 62: -- bind config server.config = config.server client.config = config.client add a line: -- bind config server.config = config.server client.config = config.client ui = config.ui -- <--THIS LINE Now, you can add a section to your Config/network.cfg: ui = { local_player_color = 0xE8C500, other_player_color = 0xFFFFFF, log_msg_color = 0xFF9000, side_none_color = 0xFFFFFF, side_red_color = 0xFF0000, side_blue_color = 0x0000FF, } I've shown default values.

fill Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thats ok, its work ! In script/net/main.lua Have you done exactly this: -- bind config server.config = config.server client.config = config.client ui = config.ui ui = { local_player_color = 0xE8C500, other_player_color = 0x0099FF, log_msg_color = 0xFF9000, side_none_color = 0x0099FF, side_red_color = 0xFF0000, side_blue_color = 0xFFFF00, } For me that work ok Have a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
july865 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 thank you. it worked great. but i went back to change the color again, as i had changed it to a hex green color. so now when i opened the network.cfg file in notepad++, i get this ui = { local_player_color = 15254784, other_player_color = 16777215, side_red_color = 16711680, side_none_color = 16777215, log_msg_color = 16748544, side_blue_color = 3394560, let me say it DOES work and the new color i put in is being displayed, but now im reluctant to change the color again because it not in hex form. did it re-write itself? do i insert a hex code or something else?
