Custom Colors [solved]

I created custom display and ingame colors with the help of Ares [before that with NPatch] but complications began quickly.

In uimd.ini i put the following:

Slot2.DisplayColor=152,170,70
Slot2.ColorScheme=DarkRed
Slot2.Tooltip=NOSTR:Military Green

what happens is that the dropdown color is perfect, but the ingame and map preview color is different: a mixture with whatever values i put in the [colors] section of the rulesmd.ini; even if I put the same from uimd.ini in the colors section... any ideas?

Thank You!

[Colors] section uses HSB, SlotxDislplayColor uses RGB. Difference is this.

You can add colors to [Colors] no need to replace orginal ones.

Hello, forgive me i did not wanted to open a new treath.

but i have the same problem.

all colors show up as the colors i want in the dropdown box. but ingame it does not use some colors how can this be?

i also use the RGB color codes like mustapha said. but some colors just turn up grey ingame. not any other color just grey. my blue and black has tis problem for example.

my code is :

Black:

Slot2.DisplayColor=0,0,0
Slot2.ColorScheme=Black
Slot2.Tooltip=STT:PlayerColorBlack

Bleu:

Slot6.DisplayColor=0,0,255
Slot6.ColorScheme=Blue
Slot6.Tooltip=STT:PlayerColorBlue

Ingame colors uses the colors under [Colors] of Rulesmd.ini. You can add colors to there. Colors in there uses HSB not RGB. In vanilla YR there is no such colors as Black or Blue at there.

As a side note Black has problem with texts on chat and SW timers i recommend you to use a dark gray like 15,15,15 not real black (0,0,0).

yes thanks. my "black" ( with 18,18,18 )  is working correctly at slot10 now with this code in the rulesmd.ini : Black=18,18,18 ; 10  MP Black

i also tryed to add a "steel blue"

uimd.ini code :

Slot9.DisplayColor=35,107,142"( RGB)
Slot9.ColorScheme=SteelBlue
Slot9.Tooltip=STT:PlayerColorSteelBlue

rulesmd.ini code for the steelblue :
SteelBlue=200,75,56 ( HSB) ; 9 MP Steel Blue

its give's me another strange gray black strange color ingame but shows the right color in the dropdown box

if i use the RGB color code for steelblue in the rulesmd.ini then the color would be gray/neutral ingame.

i also see on the forums people talk about custom color palette's is it possible i might need to have also a custom color palette?
