Target reticle?

[ErikLera]

Nevermind I found what I was looking for and it works!

This change is quite easy to do.

Use Bini to unpack the mouse.ini file located in the /Program Files/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/DATA/ folder,, then edit the resulting unpacked mouse.ini file with notepad.

Change the following section :


[Cursor]
nickname = fire
anim = hostile_fire, 1, 0
hotspot = 32, 32
blend = 4
spin = 10
color = 191, 29, 29, 255
scale = 0.450000

so it says :


[Cursor]
nickname = fire
anim = hostile_fire, 1, 0
hotspot = 32, 32
blend = 4
spin = 10
color = 29, 29, 191, 255
scale = 0.450000


The three first values in the color (sic) line is the values for Red, Green and Blue, while the last value is transparency according to my docs. A quick way to find out the values for the colour you want, is to open up MS Paint, click on one of the color boxes at the bottom of the screen, then click the "Define Colours" button in the dialogue that opens. Play around with the values for Red, Green and Blue, or click in the colourpicker, and then use those values in the color line.


Save, and dump the new mouse.ini in the original folder. Remember to keep a copy of the original packed mouse.ini file, just for being on the safe side.

Restart FL, and voila, Blue spinning targeting reticule when targeting hostile targets.
