I've looked around and kind answer my question so here goes. How do I change the color of the stupid purple league standings box? Or any other similar boxes for that matter.

Search in your UI folder.

Sol, I don't remember, but I'll look when I get some free time.

Hey, un autre dude français. Bienvenue.

Naryar · « **Reply #3 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:57:23 AM »

Francais? Hmmm. Intéressant. Ou juste un french quote on his signature...

Anyways Sol you should find this on the UI subfolder on your Robot Arena 2 main folder. Might be here.

And we haven't many French builders here...

actually, i think french is the leading country behind the US for how many people are on this forum. isn't it? i know robo is from canada, venko is in bulgaria, pysc is in rwanda ( hehe ) and a few others. but in france, we have naryar, phil, and sol vector.

What about the UK? Wham, S32, MM, and I think there are more.

I don't think that Sol is living in France (via IP address), just thought he might be French.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sol: Go into the UI/teamhq folder, and find the file 'hq_league.gib'.
Duplicate it for a back-up.
--------------
Then, open up the 'hq_league.gib' with Notepad++.
>Look for line 642: "_ForeColor 0.3 0.23 0.51 1" (change only first three numbers)
>The colors are set as R G B (Red Green Blue).
>Parameters for each color are between 0 and 1.
I.e.:
0 0 0 = black
1 1 1 = white
1 0 0 = Red(full).
0.4 0 0 = Red(softer).
0.5 0 0.5 = purple.
0.3 0.2 0.5 = gray
-------------------

Now, change line 642 to alter the purple background to the color you want as follows:

It's not difficult; you can do it. Any questions, just ask.

----------------------------------
BTW, while we're here...
If you want to change the individual team slots background color, then do this in line 613:

If you want to make your own name appear 'in-game', then do the following in line 107 (name limit of 8-10 characters):

------------
It's fairly easy, just be careful of spacing.
If you look around, there's much more that you can do too.

Sure, sol vector speaks french, but as naryar said, the quote, even if in french, sounds more than english translation then true native french.

it should be :
"L'ouvrage continuel de votre vie, c'est de bâtir la mort "
Montaigne - French philosopher (+ 1592)

"the constant work of life is to build death".

So Welcome Sol Vector.

Any one notice that BBEANS has been won two French bots and two US bots?

Sol Vector · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:25:29 AM »

Ok that worked...
I would have sworn I tried that but oh well. So its Red, Green, Blue, Transparency. By the way to settle the discussion, Je ne suis pas français.

Действительно, я русский :D

Venko · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2009, 04:32:31 PM »

Mad, did you know how to move the X and the Y coordinates of the "bot 3D preview window" (the place where you see your bot and can rotate it to see it from different angles), so it can be moved anywhere, in any tab in the bot build menu?

Madiaba · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2009, 06:38:46 PM »

Yea, Venko. But thanks.
I did a big chunk of the GIB work on the 2.1 patch. I.e.: In the place where you repair the bots between Event matches, I increased in size of the primary visual 3d window and moved other parts around to facilitate the larger window.

And in my own versions I also increased the size of the window in the BotLab for stacking and help precision placement:

I had to reduce the 'Components Selection' windows though; as you can see.
(The yellow lines were just waymarkers, I never bothered to remove.)

Thanks for the input though.

Kind of a late quote but you just wait buddy. This year it is Main Menu's time to shine!

Or maybe Whams...
GO ENGLAND!

Nice monster truck.

Well, ACAMS made the nice Jeep body; Serge enabled the axle tweeking; I edited the gmf to lower the axles, and also the bot file to make the chassis invisible(while in-game).
It is a bit top heavy, but it has cool springy suspension and all 4 wheels move together for realistic turning. May even write a py to AI it as an autonomous monster truck, ..in all my spare time.
If you would like it let me know.

Back to GIBS: Here's what I was thinking for a BotLab screen for DSL-3. With the main '3d Window' much larger, the pixel jump/gap decreases and makes it easier for precision placement. And longer 'Components' window (at the top of the screen) is for easier selection without scrolling. Just a rough sketch of the BotLab screen layout:

The smaller buttons, component preview window, and such can be placed in other places than where I put them here. The large 3d and Component selection windows are the point.
I should also post this over on the DSL-3 thread...

Any thoughts are appreciated?
