Number Colors

...below the gauges, that are currently red.

Can they be changed to something easier to see, such as yellow or a bright green, or is that hard-coded into the game?

Regards,

i think its possible but you have to edit the texture file for the gauges

Miss Behavin · 08-27-06, 08:40 PM

Ah, I see. Rats!

Just thought something other than red would be easier to make out without getting your face right up at the screen.

Thanks for the replies though.

Cheers!

Hi Miss,

this is done very easily by changing three values in 'menu_1024_768.ini'. At first backup this file then open it in notepad [or any text editor] and look for these three blocks below. Change the three values and the numbers beneath the gauges will appear in innocent white.

So long,

SSB
