Hi all,
I'm trying to tweak the backlight color of the instrument gauges (from white to red) for the Ka 50. I think I'm on the right track, but I need some help from the veteran modders. I've found how to change the ambient color of the shkval, abris, wall light, nightvision light, and the glow from the panel, (in 'mainpanel_init.lua', which is pretty cool), but I haven't found how to change the actual backlight color of the gauges. And from digging around other peoples' texture mods I've found how to change the color of illuminated buttons and warning lights, but painting the instrument textures red only changes the instruments, and not the lighting once the switch is flipped.
Am I looking for a texture .dds file somewhere? Or a lua script? After reading about people changing the color of the HUD for the A-10 I tried changing some of the color values in the 'materials.lua' file by substituting red RGB info in the definition of WHITE, but that led to missing textures once in game.
Thanks in advance,
