NO2O! The Definitive List of 1.7/2.2-Compatible HUD Colour/Color Configs (please add yours!)
- Thread starter Terry Bruge-Hiplo
- Start date
I like the general area you're in there. Maybe if all engineers were able to offer the customisation at all times, though that would still restrict non-Horizons owners. I've thought many times about ways in which the option could be implemented. Could be under Graphics in Options as some sliders, or better yet, 1-3 hue/saturation sliders (primary/secondary/tertiary) under the Functions tab on the right panel, so you can actually see what the changes do in realtime.

Thanks for finding and posting these. I'll do my best to test them all, time permitting. Let me know if you happen to try them in the meantime.
Haha
I just appreciate everyone's contributions and was really hoping for a nice green. Glad you like the other one that was posted! There could be so many reasons why! But I imagine it hasn't been done already because it's not a simple case of applying the colour transform before the pictures are added. I'd love to know more about how the whole process works. Any of the UI artists care to shed a little light?
Agreed, and doubly so after seeing Hajile's request. I'll have to go through them all and make better notes. Maybe reformat the layout a bit too. All comes down to having the time to do it.
Here's a another reason to have in-game options. As above, I'll do my best to get more detailed notes included, and read up about the various types of colourblindness. There should be screenshots and links to Arkku's online editor preview with each config, if that helps you find something suitable from the list in the meantime.
OK, took the time to test Ivan's additional configs. Results:
No dice, sadly. Totally black pictures:
Again, no good, unfortunately:
We have a winner here! Upon closer inspection, it's very close to archeolog108's config, but I'll put it up anyway as the Mission Board looks a little darker.
No problem. Additional thought: it's possible to perform colour alterations on the entire game screen in realtime if you use a post-processing shader injector like ReShade. There's several included shaders that provide hue shifting, tinting, remapping, etc. In fact, it includes a Daltonize shader, specifically for colourblindness (example). Only downside is you have to mess with config files to get it all working.

What's the odds of this? I finally get around to playing for five minutes after all the updates this evening, and the first USS I drop at, three Vultures, and the first one says this...
Needless to say, I was dead before my FSD charged. Poetic justice? [weird]
Maybe they're all extras in that Vince Vaughn/Susan Sarandon film, People Who Look Like They Never Sleep?

Sad to see that the green one didn't quite work, was a nice appealing color.
Also..I'm not sure if there is anything else I can pull from the archived post that is usable, as most of them are rather bright in one spectrum or two.
Actually..I'm gonna test that HUD. Going to use that online web tool, see if increasing values by certain amounts may help.
Edit: Tested the upped config, portraits are still black, I'm afraid. I imagine its the amount of high values that are cancelling eachother out.

I'm just holding out until we get a colour editor in the game. I'm kinda used to Blue = Wing, Green = Friendly, Red = KILL IT, and Purple = Your wing is trying to kill it
The Orange overall though isn't brilliant as on many ships especially the Imperial ones when starlight shines in just right you can't read the bloody thing
I want to change the orange theme without changing the colors of things on my radar which as far as I know is impossible, so I guess I'm stuck with orange.

I included some combat shots on the white HUD (if you like grayscale
[listed at top of OP]). NPC enemies are easy to tell apart (untested with player enemies since I don't PVP).
I'd share my metallic scheme, it seems to work.
The colour scheme is Bronze/copper ish majority with zinc like details (shields pips and such). All the colour codes all still there although changed, friendlies are white zincish, hostiles copper (flashing white when shooting) and neutral bronze. Portraits are almost unchanged. Except anarchists who seem to really like pink now(everyone with bright red paint in there I think). (Although their skin colour is still fine)

<MatrixRed> 1, 0.2, 0 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 1, 0.5, 0.5 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0.5, 0.5 </MatrixBlue>
<MatrixGreen> 1, 0.5, 0.5 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0.5, 0.5 </MatrixBlue>
I use this Mocha scheme too, it is really good - strips away the orange neon and gives a great coffee-coloured scheme. Two major factors in it's favour are:
1) It retains icon colours on the sensor display so that hostiles are clearly red, friendlies are green (well, teal) others are "coffee" - whites (missiles, cannisters, etc) are still white and wakes are still grey.
2) The reduction in the neon glow makes letters and numbers on the HUD much sharper and easier on the eyes (no more "fuzzy" destination target info).
BTW - Clarity in engineers is great:
<MatrixRed> 0.7, 0.08, -0.08 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.15, -0.15, 1 </MatrixBlue>

Here's the one that I use and tweaked Features blues, reds, purples/pinks and some oranges... by far my favourite creation of the GUI colours I've used and created.

(rev 02) update
Big update to the main post today. Took the best part of the evening last night to get everything sorted! Here's what's changed:
Dang. That's a shame.
It's possible to maintain the red/green, but it's not easy to do by any means.
This should be resolved now
Cheers matey. Added
Original author has now been credited!
Hoo baby! That's pretty dang sweet. Added!
(I took new screenshots cos it looked like there might be some post-processing bloom on the ones you posted?)
No problem at all. Terry's got it covered
Big update to the main post today. Took the best part of the evening last night to get everything sorted! Here's what's changed:
- Colour names are now standardised and follow the naming conventions used in CSS for web-safe colours
- Added colour names chart
- Each config now has two screenshots: one of the Mission Board, and one of the Combat Training: Wolfpack Tactics training mission (two friendlies, one hostile (targetted))
- Each config now includes notes about the radar colours of friendlies and hostiles, and additional notes for any other caveats
- Added totals to each hue section heading
- Added basic Daltonize colour vision deficiency/colourblindness correction (protanopia/deuteranopia/tritanopia) instructions for ReShade 2.0 (feedback needed!)
- Added a list of a few reasons why future in-game settings are important (feel free to add your own)
- Contributors list now links to post / profile of contributors
- Additional credits added for Uncertain and Questman
- Swish new header image to mark the update
- Lazmarr and Euklides Diophant's configs added
