Hey all, so yeah this is my uimd.ini file which was where the Ares documentation told me where to put this code:

Code:

; AdvancedCommandBar Entries
 ;
 ; ButtonList
 ; This is a list of buttons that the user might desire on his command bar.
 ; This list orders buttons from left to right and right-justifies them.
 ; If the user inserts an 'x' into the list (i.e. "blah,x,thing, ...")
 ; it will leave an empty slot in the command bar between the appropriate
 ; entries.
 ;
 ; The supported entries are as follows:
 ;
 ; AttackMove
 ; AutoDeploy -- Currently unsupported.
 ; Beacon
 ; Cheer
 ; Deploy
 ; Guard
 ; PlanningMode
 ; Stop
 ; Team01
 ; Team02
 ; Team03
 ; TypeSelect


 ;
 ; This section is used for solo and skirmish games
 ;
 [AdvancedCommandBar]
 ButtonList=Team01,Team02,TypeSelect,Deploy,Guard,PlanningMode

 ;
 ; This section contains the configuration for multiplayer games
 ;
 [MultiplayerAdvancedCommandBar]
 ButtonList=Team01,Team02,TypeSelect,Deploy,Guard,PlanningMode,Beacon

 Count=8


 Slot1.DisplayColor=255,255,255
 Slot2.DisplayColor=255,0,0
 Slot3.DisplayColor=0,0,255
 Slot4.DisplayColor=125,125,0
 Slot5.DisplayColor=255,0,125
 Slot6.DisplayColor=200,100,50
 Slot7.DisplayColor=20,20,20
 Slot8.DisplayColor=221,226,13

 Slot1.ColorScheme=Black
 Slot2.ColorScheme=Red
 Slot3.ColorScheme=Blue
 Slot4.ColorScheme=Yellow
 Slot5.ColorScheme=Purple
 Slot6.ColorScheme=Brown
 Slot7.ColorScheme=White
 Slot8.ColorScheme=Green

 Slot1.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot2.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot3.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot4.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot5.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot6.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot7.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage
 Slot8.Tooltip=GUI:ActionMessage

Any help so greatly appreciated! has anyone using Ares before been able to do this I wonder? :O

EDIT: But I'm getting closer because when I hover my arrow over each incorrect color it displays the correct color in text down in the corner

If you wanna add new color (i.e not change) you should start from 9 as there are already 8 colors ingame. You can add colors under [Colors] in RulesMD.ini. No need to use orginal ones. Don't use real black (0,0,0) use 15,15,15 instead because 0,0,0 has problems with texts, both chat and SW timers. Temp is right they need to be under [Colors]. Use 16 under Counts= as you are adding 8 more colors. "SlotX.ColorScheme"s must be a vaild color under [Colors] in RulesMD.ini.

From ones above Black, Blue, Brown and White aren't vaild colors under [Colors] in RulesMD.ini.

I forgot to mention that I had already realized it had to be under "[Colors]" and did so and still nothing =( even pasted exactly what you had right into the rules under colors. I also tried adding a color to see if maybe it would display an added color but nothing.

I'm running ares .8 and I am currently using custom paradrops, custom palletes and cameo pallets and others that work but this one just won't do anything, maybe I should try upgrading to .a
