tkdmaster Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well this is something I definitely need some help with, cause its been plaguing me ever since I first started playing the darn game! In short, I'm colorblind, which makes it so I cannot see the red health bar next to character portraits at all, so I'm ALWAYS pausing just to check health levels and its become quite a nuisance. So, could anyone direct me to a mod(if it exists) that would change the health bar's color in some way? If not, then I'd be extremely happy if someone could make this sort of mod. Thanks in advance for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FollowTheGourd Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 So, could anyone direct me to a mod(if it exists) that would change the health bar's color in some way? If not, then I'd be extremely happy if someone could make this sort of mod. Sure, I could create one for you. What colour do you want it to be instead? Also, what game patch are you currently using? If you're not entirely sure, just give me some colours that might work for you and I can give you multiple files for each... The quickest way to change the healthbar colour is to edit the atl_shared_dxt5_01.dds texture atlas (there's also a smaller texture in the atlas for summoned creatures too). It's changed a bit between game versions, so that's why I ask. There's probably a better, more dynamic way of changing it (like maybe a ColorTransform in the UI), but it would take more time to figure out how that part of the UI fits together first. I guess I could create a version for game patch 1.02a and 1.03 (for example) but settling on one (or a few) colours would help keep things manageable.

FollowTheGourd Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Anyway, here's my stab at it: Color Blind Portrait. It might look sort of off-white to you according to some filters... if you'd like a different colour, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franpa Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) While the Colour Blind mod is very awesome and resolves the issue I'd still like the Health Bar to be red, just without the gradient that makes it progressively harder (darker) and harder (darker) to observe as you take damage. I'm currently using the colour blind mod because there's nothing better, and it is a significant upgrade over the default appearance for the health bar.
