For some reason I'm not getting the right colors with the hex code convention in BG:EE. To color text, I'm supposed to write: ^0x########Text. The first two symbols control transparency, for no transparency they are supposed to be always ff. I went and looked up the code for a nice shade of red to continue, and wrote: ^0xfff00c24Text in my TRA file (no need for a concluding ^ if it's the only line). So why do I see a mesmerizing shade of blue instead?

Rrr. Doesn't anybody know why the colors behave this way? If I could at least understand what to change in that code, 0xfff00c24, to move it towards red... Or is there a table of these codes used for font? A 2DA?

ARGB colors. So one byte(0x00 - 0xff ) is red, one is blue and yet another is green, while the last is the gray balance. Which is which, I don't really care. But try and set 0x00000000, 0xff000077, 0x00ff0077, 0x0000ff77 and so forth until 0x000077ff and you should find which is which. Also do this in an EE game as the original game doesn't support the whole palette space. This forum has simular system if you care to know, as this code:

[color=#00ffff]fsdlkjflijerpi.  [/color]

prints out as: fsdlkjflijerpi. But it might be different between the http coding and in game.

Will try.

 

Okay. You told me the solution, Imp, so you deserve to be told. The engine uses the Red, Green, Blue scheme in reverse: first two symbols for luminosity, then B, G and R. And thanks.

So technically it's a ABGR or as in 0xaabbggrr.
I had something like that in my previous notes, but this will make it clear.
