Changing greyscale of progress

onnel · #1 01-16-2005, 06:08 PM

As time passes, the active spells are slowly covered up with grey (to nidicate how much of their duration is past). The problem is, they grey that covers them isn't dark enough for me.

How can I darken the "progress" colour on the progress bars for active spells?

I looked in the xml and the only thing I found was "progress_grayscale_fill". i have no idea if that's really the property for what I'm looking for.

The other problem is that it is only a reference to a sourcerect in a DDS file.

What do I need to do to change the colour?

All help much appreciated!

Thanks!

P.S. Same goes for the hotkeys..I'd like they greying over as they "reactivate" to be more extreme.

Where did you find this progress greyscale fill? Im not finding anything on it.

eq2ui_ImageStyles.xml
eq2ui_ProgressbardStyles.xml

Both reffer to a grayscale fill image within a DDS file. Haven't checked, but I'm guessing this image controls what is revealed at various progress levels. 50% gray and brighter probly reveals at 50% progress.

I'm guessing how dark the overlay is is an opacity setting somewhere in a UI file.

Found in eq2ui_images.xml:

Code:

<ImageStyle Name="GaugeBackground">
<ImageFrame Name="f_0" Source="images/window_pieces01.dds" SourceRect="110,10,210,18"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="GaugeFill">
<ImageFrame Name="f_0" Source="images/window_pieces01.dds" SourceRect="110,20,210,28"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="GaugeLines">
<ImageFrame Name="f_0" Source="images/window_pieces01.dds" SourceRect="110,30,210,38"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="GaugeLinesFill">
<ImageFrame Name="f_0" Source="images/window_pieces01.dds" SourceRect="110,40,210,48"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="GaugeEndCapLeft">
<ImageFrame Name="f_0" Source="images/window_pieces01.dds" SourceRect="216,20,220,28"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="GaugeEndCapRight">
<ImageFrame Name="f_0" Source="images/window_pieces01.dds" SourceRect="212,10,216,18"/>
</ImageStyle>

I plan on making the greyscale thing a dark red.

That's the old EQ1-style gauges. I seriously doubt they're used for icon re-use timers.

I found something out about this in IconStyles:

Code:

<IconStyle BackGlowRect="212,170,254,212" BackGlowResource="/images/icons/icon_ss9.dds" 
FrameRect="126,42,168,84" FrameResource="/images/icons/icon_transp1.dds" 
MouseOverRect="84,84,126,126" MouseOverResource="/images/icons/icon_transp1.dds" 
Name="self_spell" PressedRect="168,42,210,84" PressedResource="/images/icons/icon_transp1.dds" 
ProgressRect="84,42,126,84" ProgressResource="/images/icons/icon_transp1.dds" />

It seems that the progress refers to the recast timer. But if you take a look at that DDS file, you'll see that 84,42,126,84 is pointing to a white square, not a black/grey one. Hope it helps a bit... trying to find out more.

Okay, I was able to edit the alpha channel and get the progress thing to only move on half of it. Unfortunately it still darkens it slightly and any color change I make to the image doesn't seem to apply there. Continuing experimentation.
