Amber to Green alternative

Post by Krux » Tue Nov 13, 2012 11:10 pm

Changing the main menu items and loading screen circle to FO3 classic green instead of the new vegas amber.


after changing the settings to use green instead of amber, there's still a lot of amber stuff simply as a part of new vegas with no option to change, just looking for a mod to make everything use the FO3 original green look instead.

i guess, idk if it's necessary. Just pause the game (Esc), all those pause menu items.. Continue, Settings, Save, Load, etc.. all New Vegas Amber


Plus the "Please Stand By" initial screen before you can load a game, that's amber. Would like the FO3 version of that screen too. Anything to steer away from the new vegas amber color basically, on all things.


 


tried taking a screenshot, no idea where it gets saved to. print screen only shows my left monitor and all black where vegas is supposed to be.

Oh sorry, I totally misunderstood what you said, my bad sorry frown.


I understand now what you mean, yes the options on the start screen and when we press esc and etc.


Those are stuff not affected by changing the options alright, luckily I heard of the right mod for you (haven't tried it myself but its exactly what you are looking for), give it a try and tell me if it works with TTW or not wink.

some text changed to green but not everything. it also ruins the thing on startup that says "Tale of Two Wastelands" and sets it back to "New Vegas" no big deal, it's better green than amber imo. but maybe it will work better for you, i've had a lot of bad luck with mods so far, can't even get Blackout ENB to do a thing to my game. so if i can get some green text, maybe you'll get the full fix.

Hmmm just tried it myself and it doesn't change the text in the Loading screen messages, been trying to find out how I can change those but no luck yet.


If someone with more knowledge of this would point me to where we can change the colors of the Tips or Hints or Info (or whatever you want to call it) text that appears on the loading screen I would be thankful angel.


By the way I made a quick thingie to make the Tales of Two Wastelands logo on the main screen to be kinda of green, I will leave a link here for it, if the person who made that logo doesn't approve or has any complaint then tell me here or in a PM and I will remove it wink


TTW Green Logo


Just extract to your Fallout NV Data folder and overwrite if it asks.

im gunna give this a shot, the partial color change MIGHT have to do with Darnified. i'll let u know how i make out with that. (It works differently in the sense that it follows the color scheme you select in your settings as opposed to a color-specific pack that you download)

It does have to do with DarnUI. If you dig through the start_menu.xml for Darn you'll see that it's slightly different than the original, anywhere you see <systemcolor> &startmain; </systemcolor> you should be able to change it to <systemcolor> &hudmain; </systemcolor> to get it to default to your hud color (I think, it's been awhile since I've attempted it.)

No, don't even bother with that. the link i posted just above does in fact, work.


However, would be nice to get that "Please Stand By" screen to be the FO3 version.

Gah, should have thought that might have been a Darnified UI related problem blush I just forget that for testing purposes I don't have it installed at the moment so that's why it worked for me and not you cheeky.


Well feel free to use the file I put there for download anyway, it wont change any .xml files, it's just a .dds image file that has the Tale of two wastelands title green, to replace the one included in the TTW files, in case you want to have it say Tale of Two Wastelands in green instead of the Fallout NV green title from the other mod wink.


Well, sometimes I am not good with words so here it is a preview of what it looks like.
