Thanks for answering RimShot !
Even if you don't know how to solve it, you said it.
Maybe it's impossible to do... (I've spent hours on it).

In top of that : I'm not good at all in hardcoded editing (like using hexadecimal editor or decrypting files). So I need help on that mod, and especialy help from "decrypters" (forgive me if it's not well written...).

Thanks again to you, and hope someone interested will find something !

(again, forgive my soooo bad english)

EDIT : If someone is interested, I can write a little tutorial on "how to change FL's interface" (even if there are still missing parts).
Please let me know.

I would like to know how. Blue gets annoying after awhile. occasionally want some red or green

ATTENTION

i found the colour ones....

there are to versions a grey and a colour

the non grey's are

formation
freeflight
goto
dock

for eg. "mnvr_formation.3db"
ect

and the grey one's have the _grey on the end just need to find the other colours..

also

buttontextures.txm

contains a big mob of the graphics not in colour though

also i found the .cmp file's had these blue square's i was wondering if the would help maybe the grey are "put over" with transperenty hope it worth anything..

I'm not sure if this is important but i think i know a way to change the curser i'll keep ya updated

No change

Very likly HardCoded

Hi NightHound !

You know, i managed to change the cursor color, no prob with this.
But there don't seem to be an issue to the rest of the problems...

So, for Aravis, to change the color of the menus, just open a file of the above list of files with UTFEditor. You'll see in the most part of it nodes called :

edgecolor.tgaagain4.tga
edgecolor.tgaglowedge5.tga
edgecolor.tgaglowedge8.tga
edgecolor.tgaglowedge10.tga
gradientblue_glowedge10.tga
gradientbluefinal.tga
30.tgaframetexture.tga
backgroundpattern.tga
darkblue.tga

To change the color, juste extract them and open it with Photoshop.
Then, change the Hue to whatever ou want.
In the end, import it in ALL the files listed above.
This is the most hard (and boring part of this tut).

So, here is the list.
Good luck !

That's all !

Man ther's alot of photoshop stuff maybe it should be a mod or somthing....
But if it's a mod it's going to be big...

Not so big : only 1 or 2 megs...

cool should make orange, yellow, red and put it to one mod and ask us which color we wan't....

You know, it's a lot of work : I've already been able to make it yellow (in about one or two complete days of work !!!). I'll make it green and purple, but later : I'm now studying at college and I don't realy have much time to spend on modding... But I think I'll do it... sometime !
See you !
