[request] white cursor/pause menu to match white hud : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:31 am

title pretty much says it all... i think a pretty easy request

The yellow mouse cursor appearing when my hud is set to white is kinda annoying me.

Also if anyone has made a white replacement for the green glow on pipboy, I really! need that as well (not the light 'shed' but the color of the texture for the light-on pipboy)

thanks for your time

My guess is that it will be fixed with an official patch? Didn't do that with FO3...

Yeah but what about when you press start and the main menu and the start screen is Amber?

I am using http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1131897-wipzbeta-darnified-ui-nv/ so the colors are naturally amber, but the UI is awesome!

If you have an UI mod that modifies the Start Menu (start_menu.xml), you can look for

 &mainmenu;

change it to

 &hudmain;

I believe these colors are defined in FalloutPref.ini as well. Try that if you don't have an UI mod.

Actually the colour of that mouse cursor is set by the file "interfaceshared0.dds" in Data/Textures/Interface
Download this and place it in that directory for a white cursor:

That mod you linked to replaces the entire New Vegas hud design with Fallout 3's.

I'm confused with this. :facepalm:

So if I want white for everything, cursor, Pipboy, start menu and main menu, what do I edt? I believe I'm using a mod called MTUI or something.

I can't find what I'm supposed to change in the Prefs.ini or an XML.

Bump. Someone has to know.

The file that the above poster posted works like a charm for it.

Yes, but like I asked earlier, how do I change the main menu and start menu? I want everything to match.

in your falloutprefs.ini file do a search for iSystem you will find a bunch of color settings and you can edit them. I think 0 is black and 1000 is white but not sure, I would make a copy of the file before hand to make sure.

Edited to add in I just did this search myself and can not find for the pointer. You could possibly combine the two methods, the file he suggested above, and the changing of your colors in general.

I do not know much more. sorry if I was not of much help to you

Oh no, you were a great help. I just wish there was more clarification on how to change the menu colors to match everything up.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 7:14 am

So I tried using the cursor mod and it just changed my HUD entirely... surely someone here knows?

yeah the one I gave you was for fallout 3's hud, but i messaged the owner today and he said that he was making one for vegas. He uploaded it recently http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35815

Thanks. Does anyone know how to change the menu colors too?

PipBoy/HUD is in the game settings. Start/Main Menu is what I posted above. The cursor needs a texture replacer.

But what do I edit in the Prefs? I saw the System Colors I saw a bunch of numbers and things like blue, green, red... not sure what to edit.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:35 am

I assume you're in the FalloutPrefs.in i file? In that case, the numbers are std. RGB values. They go from 0 to 255. Any decent color picker should have the capability to help you with those.

And just in case you don't have access to a decent "colour picker" this is how they work:
Red | Green | Blue
0, 0, 0 = Black
128, 128, 128 = Medium Grey
255, 255, 255 = White
255, 0, 0 = Red
0, 255, 0 = Green
0, 0, 255 = Blue
255, 255, 0 = Yellow
255, 0, 255 = Magenta (Bright Pink)
0, 255, 255 = Cyan (Bright Blue)

As long as Red, Green and Blue are all equal you will have no colour (White, Greys, or Black).

So am I supposed to change every color and put it as 255?
