Darken Bort Numbers?

[David A Sell]

Hi Skinners,

 

I have looked through some threads and Can't seem to find how I can Darken the bort numbers, The default color of them dosent have enough contrast with the skin I'm working on. Any quickj and dirty way to darken the numbers used via the Description.lua or by changing the Tail-number .dds?

 

 

Thanks!

Found my own work-around just after posting this. If anyone wanders in looking for the same:

 

The Default skin VMA-311D used a darker Bort number for the tail, it actually has 2 differant tail number dds files in the skin, the darker being named " AV8_TNumbers_VMA311D1 " I copied that Tail number dds and moved into my skin folder, renaming it to overwrite the existing tail number dds. Did just what I needed.

 

However, if there is a better way, for future reference, I'm all ears

 

Thanks!

Tried that first and all I got was Dark Blocks over where the numbers should of been. I must have screwed something up, will try it again that way next time. Thanks!

You probably forgot to save the file with the alpha channel that defines transparency (i.e. the actual shape of the numbers).

That is precisely what I did DrPhibes!

 

I have not worked with Alpha channels before, will need to read up a bit, but so glad you guys have isolated my issue, Thanks Guys!
