Custom GUI questions
« on: September 26, 2010, 12:19:41 am »


               I am working on a custom GUI overhaul and I'd like to know just a couple things if y'all can help:

First, is it possible to change the default text color for the server browser? i.e., the Galahad font in baby blue? I'm thinking it has to be possible to change the RGB values somewhere in the code, I just don't know where.

Secondly, I've made custom .tga files for the cursors, but they aren't showing up when I launch the game. For example, files such as: gui_mp_defaultd.tga, gui_mp_defaultu.tga, gui_mp_attackd.tga, gui_mp_attacku.tga

I really appreciate your help! So far the GUI looks awesome and these two tweaks would really bring it along.

Thanks!

               Server browser text: I'm not sure, since I've never attempted to find out how to change that.

Cursors: I had the same problem when I made my transparent GUI.  I changed the cursors and colors and they installed just fine, but would never really showed up in-game.  One of the few parts I was unable to get to change.

Yes, exact same issue with my modern attempt
Not very usefull to know it, but up until patch 1.66 (or near that) you could change cursors, but after that it seems that it seems that it has been integrated with executable. I know that the spanish version of the game which hasn't been officially patched with lasts patch can still have modified cursors.
I'd looove to see that changed!':wub:'

               Hi all, I'm new around here '<img'>

I just wanted to correct something: the custom cursors in .tga format don't work in the spanish 1.69 version either. After all, the .exe it's the same, only changes the .tlk file '<img'>

 I have the spanish version and I can confirm it. Maybe you have seen a game with an hacked .exe (I mean with the cursors changed inside the .exe) or something like that.

               in the total conversion im working on i have changed the cursors inside the .exe file using a tool called resource hacker and added the nwn2 cursors inside my new nwmain.exe im also changed the .exe icon

               Yep, that's true. I changed long ago the cursors and added a custom icon for the nwmain.exe & toolset.exe using that program.

The cursors that I use are the nwn1 ones but colorized. 75% of them are mine and the others are from The Amethyst Dragon (I converted the files from .tga to .cur)

EDIT: here is a image of the icons: http://4.bp.blogspot...ICONOSNEVER.jpg

  I have some videos of the game with the colorized cursors in my blog but I'm too lazy to search xD
