Font Color Change

[Cloud Senatu]

Well, as the title sorta says.. I was speaking with a friend about this and we feel its possible but can't figure out just how.

I'm wanting to take the 8 and 9 and instead of them making Black and White (and being screwed up in the console) I wanted to make them a deep purple and deep teal.

However I'm unable to find out just what file I need to copy and make a .pk3 of in order to do this.

So, I was curious if anyone here has an idea of how to change the color of a specific font?

[Malkav]

I think @ did something about the black font in JA++.

[Azatha]

I'd like to see more colors, personally. JKA lacks orange.

[Raz0r]

Requires engine modifications in several places, so pretty much gg.

[Astral Serpent]

It was done in DeFRaG for Quake 3, but Quake 3 has the source code available for the actual .exe files and such.

[MUG]

So yeah basically, not doable without a code mod.

[Cloud Senatu]

Fuuck.. okay.

And yeah Azatha, I was gonna add a deep purple and teal so I wasn't wearing pink

Maybe I'll have to look into it...but if I have to edit it like that, I doubt I can make a small little client-side version that'll be compatible with other mods?

[MagSul]

I'll never understand why they didn't add a brown and orange to the available colours. *Sigh*...

[Cloud Senatu]

I agree.

But then again.. I know that the 0 doesn't work properly for black in Base.

You have to go about adding extra characters just to get it to work. :/

 

And also, you know they'd only add Brown or Orange, they'd do the same shit they did with the Pink/Purple.

"Oh, those look similar, let's do them on the same thing!"

I wouldn't call ^6 pink. It's only a bit lighter than the color you form your posts out of.

[Raz0r]

^6 is magenta, according to the almighty source code.

 

About ^0 not working in base, that's only the server-side mod disabling ^0 in names. The colour itself is fully functional elsewhere.

If you want to get ^8 and ^9 working, you'll need to modify cgamex86.dll (Ruling out mod compatibility) and several places in jamp.exe (Ruling out just about everyone)

[Cloud Senatu]

So basically, there's no way to get different colors into the game without creating a new Mod or the sorts.

No chance of creating a .pk3 or anything of the sort.. fuck you JA system!
