Revision information.....

FSO Revision: 9058

Note: Please update the version when the page is updated. If your edit had nothing to do with new code entries then please do not edit the version

The colors.tbl allows editing of the default color values used for text in various game locations, as well as being used for team color declarations.

List of Tables

General Format

• Colors.tbl simply starts with "#Start Colors" (without the quotes)
• All following entries are of the form "$Color name: (R G B A)" (without the quotes, but with the brackets), where R, G, B, and A are red, green, blue and alpha values (between 0 and 255 inclusive).
• Colors.tbl must end with "#End" (without the quotes).
• If Team Colors are to be used, continue after heare and start with "#Team Colors"
• A single team color entry is of the form "$Team Name: <string>", "$Team Stripe Color: ( R G B )", "$Team Base Color: ( R G B )"
• Following the last entry, another "#End" is neccesary.

Syntax and Usage

• All colors are optional (defaults will be used if the color is not specified).
• However, any colors included must be included in the order specified above, otherwise they will be skipped.
• Note that at this point colors.tbl only allows redefinition of the 22 pre-existing UI colors. New colors cannot be added as of yet.
• For team colors to be useable at all, one entry needs to exist here.

Example Table

The values in this table are the code's default values.

#Start Colors

;; This is colors.tbl. Here you can redefine the RGBA values for the 22 default colours for the UI.
;; Any redefining is optional, so you don't need to include all colors (the ones you skip will just use the default values).
;; However, any you DO redefine need to be placed in this order (and spelled this way):

;;$Blue
;;$Bright Blue
;;$Green
;;$Bright Green
;;$Black
;;$Grey
;;$Silver
;;$White
;;$Bright White
;;$Violet Gray
;;$Violet
;;$Dim Red
;;$Red
;;$Bright Red
;;$Pink
;;$Light Pink
;;$Yellow
;;$Bright Yellow
;;$UI Light Green
;;$UI Green
;;$UI Light Pink
;;$UI Pink

;;Redefine colors this way:
;;$Color Name: (RVALUE GVALUE BVALUE AVALUE) (the brackets are necessary!)
;;where RVALUE, GVALUE, BVALUE and AVALUE are integers between 0 and 255 inclusive
;;AVALUE is alpha value. Every default color just leaves this as 255, so if you're not sure, just use 255
