Red Mask Changing!

Rapt0r56 · 10-01-09, 06:45 PM

Does anyone know how to change the Color from the Redmask file (the dimm from the Periscopes at Night)?
I need a blue one, for my new little Mod I'm creating.

Here's a little Preview, i will change the OHV2 Lightning to the one's from "Das Boot"
Remember the Mod is in Progress, so don't take these Screens too Real, i must decrease some lamps, and change the Fog rim...

Yes you must edit the line that refers to color and give it the hex-reference for blue in all entries for the mask. Sadly I don't know which one that is, but the entries in the menu.ini file are in attack and observation scope right after the redlight entry (Which is I11). You must change I12 to I19 colours, in this line:

[G26 I12]
Name=BottomRight
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x26120005
ParentID=0x26120000
Pos=365,-342,295,295
Color=0x96000050
Materials=1
Display=2;Linear
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/redmask.tga
Crop 0=1,1,-1,-1
MatFlags=0x9
TexFmt=0x29

The number in this example is red, but changing it you can get any colour, I have made it green to allow my new reticle to be visible in the dark as the original one does

Why oh why do devs use such silly variable names?!! I could understand if they were coding for a Commodore PET with 8K of RAM but there has been no need for abreviated variable names sinice early 90s.

Oh well.....

Iv'e tryded some Hex codes for the blue mask, but all i'm getting is everytime this:

so i think, it's needed a special code for it, the normal red one is 0x96000050, so it needed a 0x........ and not my tested html hex codes.

Picture: look at the TDC slide out controls, there you've seen the "Black" redmask.

Black is not bad because it is neutral, the best would of course be blue, I continued to search.

@ Hitman does you still know where you've got the code for the green one?

[EDIT] I'm only need the Blue one 's for my Customized Attack Scope, the Ob's stayes red, becuase i will have blue dimmed lights in the Conning Tower.
