Console Adjustment

Post by Aslyn Denethorn »

Just a thought: could the console be adjusted to visibly show all the new colours added by RPMod? I've noticed that, even with a transparent frame adjustment to better enable me to read darker colours, we still don't see the colours of names or many of the different texts used in-game.

As you can imagine, it's a small hassle, but of particular issue when the console is rendering some custom-name colours as black instead of white, making them near-invisible to read in certain lights.

Would love to see this but if I recall there was some game engine limiting factor.

Soh?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I found this on the forums.

That's what I use and it works well for me. Hope this helps for the time being.

There's another alternative here, too. :)

I'm not sure if this is the right place. you can delete this message if it's not posted in the right place.

speaking of engines, I've posted a crash problem a day before moving to Rannon. I found out later the problem was the current engine of the game doesn't support my graphic card. so, I searched for some fixes and found this.

http://jkhub.org/topic/2220-frequently-asked-questions/

Currently I'm using it if anyone is gonna use it I recommend you make a copy of your game because all your options and binds will be reset. and rename openjk.x86.exe to Jamp and openjk_sp.x86.exe to Jasp if you're playing single player. if you don't the game won't work with the RPmod. because the mod isn't set to recognize a new engine for the game currently.

Alehk you're a star, I've been wanting this as it's a nightmare changing name colors when you have to keep closing the console to check the list and make sure you have it right :/

Supporting new colors in the console isn't possible without altering the game engine (jamp.exe), which is something RPMod doesn't do at the moment.
