so there wasnt white color. there is only grey.

because :

You can now play as CHOAM - light brown.

same as amigabot's fremen - you can set everything, but dont touch the color!!!!

it is for skirmish, as you know.

and i know which offset in cfg file is for color, but you dont need it now - all colors revealed.

dune2000choam.zip

[mvi]

Just to establish, for those of you interested in what DaxxXyrax has found, the offset 0x6D is the colour, when set to 0x04 it's the light grey, when set to 07 it's the light brown.

Might release a skirmish.uil with buttons for all eight colours.

Incidentally, although you probably know this, colours are stored in BGR rather than RGB.

[AMIgaBot]

nine colors since  there is fremen color too

[mvi]

I was talking about existing UI supported colours, of which there are 8 intended for practice mode. If we're being pedantic, there's more than 9.

[AMIgaBot]

well look at cnc red alert 1. there was alot of colors. most of them are imported in game since  dune has no own colors, they are using old color scheme. as in red alet there is grey color. for red alert 2  the sepcial ai JP and civilians had the grey.  .. lets crunch more

[mvi]

Well I've got other things to look at, but don't let me stop you ;)

[AMIgaBot]

also read other topic  there was guy that has uncut version of dune..  what was that?? since EE58 was notthing showing to me.  both mis and maps files.  editing of them  split no results.  what im doing wrong

[DaxxXyrax]

i tried to edit skirmish.uil to show all 8 colors, but with no result...

but to tell truth, i dont understand these files... i understand only a little

[mvi]

I'm planning a UIL editor, right now it's quite awkward adding new stuff, like the new button and string entry on the Mission Select mod. There's a little documentation on UI files at my Dune2k+ site here

[AMIgaBot]

it appear to be good goings.. keep us updated

[Gruntlord6]

it appear to be good goings.. keep us updated

just wait and see what comes next  ;)

[mvi]

just wait and see what comes next  ;)

Oh god, that doesn't sound good. What's coming next? ;)

[AMIgaBot]

i think that browser based dune2000 could be fantastic

[mvi]

Potentially, but you'd need to find people with free time and enough experience to make it.

[AMIgaBot]

we may need  people with flash knowledge.

[mvi]

Heh, I doubt flash is high performance enough. Personally I'd advise the use of Java (which is something I virtually never do.)

[AMIgaBot]

making dune2k online for browser isnt that really hard.  it can be  ever php version like  RPG online games

[mvi]

Are you joking? Dune 2000 took an experienced development team of many people working full time several years. Making it for a browser, with one or few people part time is not an easy thing. PHP isn't built for live gaming, I'd certainly never dream of using it for an RTS (for one thing it's impossible.) However, please post your progress on making a browser based D2k ;)

[AMIgaBot]

it could be  text based game

take any rpg online game , rename all uldings/units to dune2000 ones. if possible implement  grapchics .. thats it what i meaning.  i dont have good server for multiplayer game but i try to find one and will need helper

[Hunoa]

but how can i ally with AI in version v1.06??

[AMIgaBot]

read other topics, there is one  specyfing what need to be done to play them
