Gauge Colors?

**Drakah** · #1 09-05-2010, 06:40 PM

I have been trying to change the color of the HP, Mana, Pet bars in the group window, but no matter what I change, it stays Red/Blue, or Green/Blue, depending on what I set the options for under the Options Window-User Interface.

Are the Hex numbers there just for show, cause I certainly cannot get them to be a certain color at all.

I have tried even coloring a gauge myself, and using that as the gauge, but the game just automatically colorizes it for some reason?

SOE's hard coding is a bugger! Try changing the names of the Object so the hard coding don't try to force the color on it.

It must be tied into the dynamic data that makes the bar work for certain group members. Trying to have the Group HP (red), Mana (blue, but darker), Pet (green). If I tint the actual custom gauge green, then the bar turns a deep red in game, depending how dark I color the bar in the graphic file. Its very weird.

Have you already tried filtering out the DynamicData just for color?

Ya just realized, removing the DynamicData from the ProgressBar code allows me to utilize my custom colors. Thanks for the response

I meant the DynamicDataFilter property (not removing the DynamicData altogether).
I believe 0004 will filter out the color sent from the DD.

DynamicDataFilter="0004"

Well now I am stuck again.

I made a group window, with the player gauges in it too.

- The group HP bar, sticks being red, fine.
- The group Mana bar I made my own and colored it blue, to make the automatic blue add to the blue gauge, so its a deeper color, great.
- The pet bar I did make green using again my own white bar and was able to use the Color Hex # for the green, removing the DynamicData.

Now the next problem is the player information....

- Again, the player bar sticks being red, and is fine.
- The Mana bar, using the same idea from the group portion works fine too.
- But now, the PET bar is giving me all kinds of grief...... If I remove the DynamicData from the bar, then the bar doesnt work, but I am able to get the custom green color I want. If I leave the DynamicData in, then the bar does work but it forces it to be Red. The only thing I can do is make a custom bar that is gray, and when the game loads the bar, it will be a deep red... though its different than the group windows, I still need to figure out how to make a custom Green Pet bar in the Group window.

ideas?...
