posting this in utilities because there are no attachments in tuorials, and it follows the rules because it contains an app, but if someone could move it that'd be cool.
Not going to take any new pics but heres a hud that's partway done:

tut and app are in dl
edit: pic of the app. you can use it to quickly get HMT values for a color that you make, you can customize the color to go in a forum, or type in any guerrilla rgb values, hexsearch the number it gives you, make a new color, and input the number it gives you. then you save and ingame it will be that exact color (takes about 2 min. or less)

haha k sorry i didn't download the file yet. But i will. Have you found which file u have to edit for the shield and radar yet?

EDIT: i replied to you on halopc but just incase u check this first, i edited all the tags for the hud interface and its great but idk which ones to edit to change the color of the darker bullets and the red flash. If i edit the usual guerilla colors for red and dark blue, hmt exceptions when i re inject the tag. =/. do you know which to edit? Oh and since all the stuff in the main menu like the game messages where it says press esc to quit and stuff, can u edit those the same way? I think u can cause they arent bitmaps. We should research it further.

if you have guerrilla then you just find the color you want to edit, type it's RGB values into my app, click swap endian and then search that number in the tag (the ones you had opened in guerrilla

Ok :

1.I open in HMT a50.map and go to wphi.
2.Non-Recursively extract the meta to desktop
3.Go to RGBblahblahblah... and make the color
4.Check "Swap endian"
5.Copy the meta values
6.Hex edit with hex workshop assault rifle.wphi.meta and highlight "FF9628" - The third one(the last).
7.Change it to "F096A8".
8.Save the new one.
9.Inject the meta
10.Click Save and then Close Map
11.Start Halo on Truth And Reconciliation
12.Click TAB to switch from sniper to AR
13.When i press the TAB button
14.Gathering Exception Data...

hmmm, maybe it's different for campaign, try it in MP, and see how that goes. Also did you add '.meta' to the end of the tag before injecting it?

he had to cause u cant reinject it unless there is a .meta at the end.
