Hello, i'm scripting for ut2k3 and I have a problem: I can't find the part of the code which tells to the game which color applying for the name of the weapons (when I play with hidden weapons), like "assault rifle" in pink, "rocket launcher" in red, "bio rifle" in blue...
Can someone help me, please?

I do not know this for sure, but it looks like it. In the base weapon class (like AssaultRifle.uc in this example, in defaultproperties:

Code: Select all

HudColor=(r=255,g=128,b=192,a=255)

Hope this helps.

I tried to change Hudcolor, but it doesnt change the color of weapons' name, and hudcolor doesn't match with the color of each weapon3...

The HUDColor Is used by the base hud to change the weapon name:

Code: Select all

simulated function DrawWeaponName(Canvas C)
{
	local string CurWeaponName;
    local float XL,YL, Fade;

	if (bHideWeaponName)
    	return;

	if (WeaponDrawTimer>Level.TimeSeconds)
    {
	    C.Font = GetMediumFontFor(C);
        C.DrawColor = WeaponDrawColor;

		Fade = WeaponDrawTimer - Level.TimeSeconds;

        if (Fade<=1)
        	C.DrawColor.A = 255 * Fade;


		C.Strlen(LastWeaponName,XL,YL);
        C.SetPos( (C.ClipX/2) - (XL/2), C.ClipY*0.8-YL);
        C.DrawText(LastWeaponName);
    }

	if (  PawnOwner==None || PawnOwner.PendingWeapon==None )
    	return;

	CurWeaponName = PawnOwner.PendingWeapon.GetHumanReadableName();
    if (CurWeaponName!=LastWeaponName)
    {
    	WeaponDrawTimer = Level.TimeSeconds+1.5;
        WeaponDrawColor = PawnOwner.PendingWeapon.HudColor;
    }

   	LastWeaponName = CurWeaponName;
}

So changing the weapon's hudcolor should work...if its not post the code and we can try to see if we can help more.

it works when I change the value directly in the game code, but is it possible to change the hudcolor from the user.ini?

Dont think so...you can change the crosshair color but thats about it AFAIK

It's working with user.ini...but there another problem: how to execute a console command from user.ini?
