menu text colors

how do you change the ingame menu text colors? by changing the images? or is there hex editing involved? i've been searching on tibweb but i haven't found a way how to do it
anyone knows how to do this? i've seen it in one of other mod,i think it was TS:Calisto not sure though

Yes, TS: Callisto did use this. The process involves editing the dlgsysi.pcx and dlgsysa.pcx files. You must open and save the files in "indexed colour" mode, or it will show up black ingame.

what do you mean by indexed colour mode? where's that in paint shop pro???
and where do i place the edited files? in ecachexx.mix?

Not sure on Panitshop, all I know is that on photoshop you go Image>Mode then tick "indexed colour", and select "uniform" if it ask what pallette to use. Im sure paintshop has an equivalent menu, but I have no idea where sorrry.

As far as I remember the images go in Expand##.mix
I started a tutorial on this a while ago,I'll see if I can drag it up and finish it...

ok thx so much , i'm your biggest fan now Smile

anyway i'll try find it in paintshop pro (but mine's in spanish as i got a spanish version somehow xD so it'll be more difficult to find it but i'll do my best) i've seen your other tutorial, but that one only shows how to change colours of other things ingame so that wasn't very useful Sad

Yeah, thats different again, TS fonts are seperated into 3 different types all together, just to confuse you Smile

I dunno when I can get time to finish that tut (I found it, and its very incomplete), but I'll try my best.

i've found the indexing colour , but when i apply it, the image turns black(not within game.not tested yet)

doesn't turn black anymore, but for example red turns out purple ingame, xD
btw what's dlgsysa.pcx for? i've modified it and nothing happened
also the changes if dlgsysi.pcx only affect certain menu's as the main menu didn't show any changes,but skirmish menu did

if you still have your old modified versions,could you upload them so i can take a look at them and compare and maybe like that i find out what i'm doing wrong?
