Gah! The colors!

Hi all,

I bought Renegades and didn't get much chance to play it -- that's no gripe, Vice is worth support in his endeavors by a long shot! (One of those rare rock stars you only see working on projects like Evochron or Dwarf Fortress.)

I now have Legends, and I'm forcing more time to play. Since I'm still pretty green, I had some very entertaining explosions today, most involving the fat-fingering of F2.

One complaint/suggestion: I have a buddy that loves this genre, but he's red/green colorblind. Given that there's an awful lot of color dependence in the game, it would be a hard sell to get him past the demo.

I'm sure you see where I'm going with this -- would it be possible either by patch or future installation to add an option that would change the default red/yellow/green for various statuses to some other color scheme?

Just a thought. I'll be jumping on a multiplayer server various mornings around 5:30AM EST, so hopefully I'll see some of you there!

Probably not as a built-in option due to the increase in size 3X the number of textures for all of those details would add, but it is available as a modifcation. The desired colored textures would just need to be placed in the \\hud folder and the game would use those instead of the standard ones. Once the customizing kit is available, it will offer the details. Most of the Renegades kit still applies for the HUD, so if you'd like to try it now, it's a useful reference: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronreneg ... nloads.htm

Pure awesome. Thanks! I'll make him a mod and see if I can get him to bite.
