Hi again

Does somebody know how the color system of the .menu files works? I thought about RGB values, but there are always 4 values, like here:

backcolor		1 1 1 .25

Kind regards
Leal

Oh lol, thank you Dobriy.

I tried that, but I get black with this here and it is supposed to be yellow with no transparency:

backcolor		255 255 0 1

Do you know what is wrong?

Edit: what that here I get blue, strange thing:

backcolor		255 255 1 1

range: 0 - 1

for example:

backcolor 0.02 0.31 0.45 0.431

just divide your regular r/g/b values by 255 :

255 == 255 / 255 == 1
0 == 0 / 255 == 0
135 == 135 / 255 == 0.5294

Oh, thanks a lot for the explanation serthy.

rgbToColor( rgb )
{
	if( !isDefined( rgb ) )
		return (0,0,0);

	return ( ( (int)( (rgb[0] * 10) / 255) / 10 ), ( (int)( (rgb[1] * 10) / 255) / 10 ), ( (int)( (rgb[2] * 10) / 255) / 10 ) );
}

I used that function for huds, for the numbers with only decimal.
You can delete (int) from there, and it will be float.

So I mean, max RGB values are 1, and min. is 0.
You can't use this function in menus, but that's usefull in scripting.
Btw. If I'm right, you can make a bar based on HUD, and make menu blank in that place. "onOpen" in menudef can give you response, if menu was opened, and then make HUD. Delete huds on onClose response. (That should be in your last topic about cvar menu, but I wrote it here :) )

kaje11? good idea, but you're not right ;) try it out, start cod2, join a server and open a menu or the scoreboard, all the 2dhuds will dissappear ;)

And V (quick responses) menu ? :)
Think about it.
It's 100% possible in CoD1, I don't know what about CoD2.
There needs to be a style, or definition which disables huds.

EDIT: Maybe it's just about BLANK in that place in menu ? Scoreboard isn't good example for test my idea.

the quick response menu is not opened by a script, its opened by a keypress. You can accomplish the same by forcing a menu open by script which opens another menu through the menu system. Look for the right commands in the quickmessages menu. Huds might stay, but they might disappear. try.
