{plugin}Text/Icon color plugin

Patrickh · Post by **Patrickh** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:21 am

I was working on this a little while ago but I didn't release it because I thought I was going to add to it, but reflexives within reflexives confuse me, so here's the part I did.
It edits the color of the ingame text and icons...
examples of Text:
picked up an overshield
picked up a frag
picked up x rounds for x
press f1 for score
waitng for space to clear
respawn in x
etc
Examples of Icons:
Press "E" to swap for & pic of gun
Press "E" to enter warthog
press f1 for score
waitng for space to clear
respawn in x
etc

should be pretty easy to use
A = brightness opacity ex. 1 means opaque and bright 0.1 means wispy and see through
R = red
G = green
B = blue

that's pretty much it, and this is an add on to phenoms plugin so I only did the part in the red box

btw i made this without guerrilla, so that made things much harder, although conure gave me the default A,R,G, and B so I knew what to look for, thank you

conure tried to help me change other parts of the HUD but I fail, so hya:

Great job.

Do you mind if I include a modified version of this plugin for Eschaton? Just making it compatible with the color picker.

I would be honored. Keep in mind I only did the part in red, so if you want the rest ask phenom. If you want me to send you one with just the stuff I did ask me (or you could just open it in notepad and cut it out)

I've been working with phenom for some bits involving plugins already. He should be ok with their inclusion. I think I could pick out the changes though. The two bitmasks and 8 floats right?

yep. and btw the bitmasks do nothing they just show what you are editing, titles basically

Understood.
I hope you'll continue looking into undocumented parts of meta tags.

Btw, here's what your changes look like using the Eschaton format:

Code: Select all

<value>
<type>colorARGB</type> 
<offset>0x70</offset> 
<name>Icon Color</name> 
</value>

<value>
<type>colorARGB</type> 
<offset>0x80</offset> 
<name>Text Color</name> 
</value>

Edit: wait... Isn't there a PC version as well?
