FL Color Code??

What does Freelancer use as a color code, as my MS Windows XP Paint has the wrong code for FL.

I looked in the forum and tried a search from Google but nothing came from it.

RGB afaik.

Should be 255 255 255 for R G and B.
Combinations of each - so
Pure Red 255, 0, 0
Pure Green 0, 255, 0
Pure Blue 0, 0, 255

Mix n match any values from 0 to 255 for each one to generate a colour you wish. I think you can get the colour values in MS Paint or any other application.

@ flybyu, Chips is correct in that FL uses RGB but it has two configurations for it, the normal 0 - 255 and another that goes 0 - 1. This one has more combinations of color than the first, you find entries like 0.08745, 0.83620, 1 through out FL. To convert them to 0 - 255 you just multiply each one by 255 and round it off to the nearest whole number, so 0.08745, 0.83620, 1 becomes 22, 213, 255. You divide the 0 - 255 numbers by 255 to get a rough setting for the 0 - 1's, I say rough because there are literally millions more color shades available with this setting than the old 255's can cover.

Thanks Guys.

Here is another problem maybe you can help

mouse.ini

[Cursor
nickname = hostile
anim = neutral, 1, 0
hotspot = 32, 32
blend = 4
spin = 0
scale = 0.450000
color = 191, 29, 29, 255 <-----------Notice 4

[Cursor
nickname = fire
anim = hostile_fire, 1, 0
hotspot = 32, 32
blend = 4
spin = 10
color = 191, 29, 29, 255 <---------Notice 4
scale = 0.450000

I believe the first might be hue, but not sure???

I change the first three and I end up with drark blue >color = 0, 0, 72, 255

And the last three color = 191, 0, 72, 255 is pink

for color i just go to MS Paint and go to custom colors, then u can find ur color and it gives u the numbers. Someone should make a freelancer tool for this, one that does that colors but also opacity

The 4th number is indeed opacity, otherwise known as the alpha channel.

I have been playing with this and have found that the first number is not needed at all .

So you can just delete that number and just use the RGB numbers and everything works fine.
color = 191, 29, 29, 255 <-----------Notice 4

color = 29, 29, 255 <-----------Notice 3 Works great!
