Changing the Green Dialog and HUD Color?

Hi everyone,

 

Does somebody know how I can change the in-game dialog and the HUD color from green to something between orange and red?

 

Maybe somebody can create a mod which would do exactly that?

 

:thanks:

I don't have the game (yet) but the manual says that can be adjusted in Option>display in game.

In Display settings, you can change the HUD and Pip to one of four colors:

Blue, Green, Amber, and White.

 

OR, you can do this.

 

Find your FalloutPrefs.ini (located in "*yourdrive*:\Documents and Settings\*yourname*\My Documents\My Games\Fallout3").

 

Find these two, right at the bottom:

uPipboyColor=

uHUDColor=

 

Here's some colors I know from testing and messing around. Mostly greens, but some of them (Regular, Thick, Bright) look better than default, as does dark sky blue, to me.

 

785383423 = Default Blue

452952319 = Default Green

3321888767 = Default White

4290134783 = Default Amber

 

642984671 = Hunter Green

849552879 = Regular Green

248983256 = Nice Thick Green

989672231 = Fairly Bright True Green

574329078 = DARK Blue (Almost unreadable)

 

648281920 = Dark Sky Blue

435792102 = Cyan

392048571 = DARK Green (Almost unreadable)

784920113 = Ice Blue

 

777777777 = Critical Hit True Blue

999999999 = Critical Hit Teal

 

2222222222 = EXTREMELY Light Rose

 

 

Experiment some! Type in any random number combo you can think of (I -think- it goes at high as just 9,999,999,999, not sure), report any nice colors you find! I'd love to figure which number combo gets a good purple or pure red, heheh.

@Honnou - do you have any idea what these numbers mean? If you divide them into three numbers they could be rgb or cmy encoded in some way perhaps?

They're decimal codes. I'm fairly certain.

 

You can use something like this site to get a Hexadecimal code and then use this site to convert the hexadecimal code into a useable decimal code to use in the .ini

 

Bare in mind I have not had a chance to test if the .ini does indeed use the decimal codes as I do not have Fallout on this computer, but a quick glance makes me think it should work.

Go here there is a color chart that will tell you what the rgb & hex or html numbers for it are:

or go here and see what you find that suits you best.

No, it's not a decimal code. I've tried those before. It's some kind of very abnormal scale, certainly not decimal codes. Trying for a purple code earlier, I still only got a kind of green.

The numbers here:

785383423 = Default Blue
452952319 = Default Green
3321888767 = Default White
4290134783 = Default Amber

642984671 = Hunter Green
849552879 = Regular Green
248983256 = Nice Thick Green
989672231 = Fairly Bright True Green
574329078 = DARK Blue (Almost unreadable)

648281920 = Dark Sky Blue
435792102 = Cyan
392048571 = DARK Green (Almost unreadable)
784920113 = Ice Blue

777777777 = Critical Hit True Blue
999999999 = Critical Hit Teal

2222222222 = EXTREMELY Light Rose

 

Most certainly are decimal code. Please note I'm not referring to HEXAdecimal code, there is a difference.

 

Why else would all the numbers you listed match up to the descriptions you gave when converting them to hexadecimal?

 

For example.

642984671 = Hunter Green converts to a hex code of #26532adf which looks like this: http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/1223/huntergreencw4.gif
