General custom colours for hud.

[Banger_uk]

changing the colors of the hud, shouldn't be that difficult in a game.I getting a little seasick of the orange and red writing occasionally it becomes unreadable. Apart from that, i would like to see a hud color changing setting in-game without the use of a third-party mod. I don't trust mods these days they have any intention of breaking the game and adding unnecessary spyware. not that I'm suggesting these mods are. but many other games I use have mods that give unlimited money (ATS/ETS for example) when you DL it.

and i don't want to edit the files either.

Sorry modders.

Why FD has not yet added this as "livery" option for ARX or whatever is beyond me.....

Agreed - and I’m on PS4 so I can’t edit the files. Color options for the Hud is one of my highest wishes for the game.

Can you imagine that nobody had this idea in the past 5 years?

Yeah me neither.

FDev are aware. They only have to rebuild the way the game's interface works to fix it, so hopefully they do that for Odyssey...

The topic has been up many times over the years.

well, I haven't been here for many years. and the sick orange/yellow text with a red background is affecting my vision. eg I cant see what I flying {+} into the same colours has the sun and planets distance get obscured.

another example
I flew into a tower on a planet base has I couldn't see the flipping reticle (+) or the speed nor the altitude, so much damaged to the t7 before I even bounced off the ground, luckily I have enough CRS and wasn't fined by the planet's starport.

IIRC it's just changing some config files, so no mods to worry about. Unfortunately that does have the side effect of messing up the colours of some other things.

Would be good to have in-game options.

some config files for us on PC. Consoles don't have that luxury.

Yup depending on your color choices you can lose all portraits ingame, my default colors of purple/green denied me ANY portraits so I was greeted with annoying as hell black boxes everywhere I went.

Found out it is tied to at LEAST blue, redid my green to a blue and portraits returned, so yeah, the problem is deep into their ui and can cause all kinds of crap.

First off, check this thread... https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...colour-color-configs-please-add-yours.259311/

As to "rebuild the way the game's interface works", Bushwah! Easiest would be to license and incorporate one of the third party tools, most difficult would be a display similar to the thread for altering the values. At worst, you'd be looking at a restart to reload the values, and that presumes that the game is incapable of altering the display on the fly.

P.S. My values are:

Elite: Dangerous HUD colour theme editor

Unofficial HUD colour theme editor for Elite: Dangerous

No Dev in their right mind would put that in front of a paying customer
