Ships HUD colour for Gutamaya ships

Laursen · Jun 10, 2015

Hello Fellow Commanders

Does anyone have a nice HUD Colour setup for the Gutamaya ships? I tried a blue one for my Clipper once but every friendly ships on my radar was Red which was freaking me out

I hope it is ok to ask this kind of questions on these forums.

Thank you in advance

I actually like default on it, because Orange/Blue contrast.

Well you can play around with color settings using this :- http://arkku.com/elite/hud_editor/
I could never find one that had all the right colours for friendly/hostile ships etc and just ended up using default.

i would stay with default , one fellow posted a comment that he had messed about and turned his whole HUD black and couldn't get it to change back even after reinstalling the game itself

Here's a nice blue theme for your blue themed ship :

<MatrixRed> 0, 0.18, 0.74 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0, 0, 1 </MatrixBlue>

For the poster above (mxcross2002) I believe what he has done is changed the override.xml in "C:\Users\<computername>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics" the filename is called "GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml" simply change the text in that file to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<GraphicsConfig>
</GraphicsConfig>

This file forces the HUD colour so that any updates (i'm guessing including re-installing also) they make wont copy over the one located in the game files a nice little feature FD provided for us HUD fanatics

I've always liked the jaded one from this post https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=73419

I just think it goes well with the ship and looks nice, a subdued colour scheme and not to bright like some of the others.

I also like the fade to grey, again, a nice subdued colour.

JADED:
<MatrixRed>0.2, 0.5, 0.2 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0.3, 0.2, 0.4 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.3, 0.2, 0.4 </MatrixBlue>

i like this setup of colors:

<MatrixRed> 0, 0.2, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.5, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>

gives a nice blue + enemies are red and friendlies green

Are any of you using steam version of the game? Ever since i migrated my game to steam this does not work for me. It was working ok before using the ED frontend.
I was using this

<MatrixRed> 0.35, 0.15, 3.5 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> -0.5, 2, -1.25 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1.75, -1, -0.4 </MatrixBlue>

Dont change a thing.

Edit...i fixed it all is good now.

<MatrixRed> 0.5, 0, 2 </MatrixRed>

<MatrixGreen> -2, 1.5, 0.5 </MatrixGreen>

<MatrixBlue> 2, 0, -0.5 </MatrixBlue>

This looks roughly like this:

Red turns to purple, orange turns to blue, blue turns to yellow, friendlies remain green with a minty tint. White remains white.
