chat window is extremely hard to read.

[spoon1981]

Are there going to be controls to change how dark the background is for the chat window? or maybe the ability to change the font colors?

im really loving this game so far but i cant talk to anyone because i cant read the font unless i stop and turn the camera somewhere that makes it readable.

the eula talks about no modding of the UI, so i guess that idea to have user made ui's is out as well?

yes I agree, there really needs to be a way to change the chat background, at the very least change the transparency, we are not all young whippersnappers with perfect 20/20 vision

Options for selecting the colours for the different chat modes would be nice.

I was having problems with this as well. it's quite hard too read the zone chat.. then i noticed the Font Size option for the chat window... Increase it by one or two.. with the larger fonter size comes a brighter color for the chat

hope it works out for you.

I posted this the other day in another thread on my usual forum account "dianoga4" (for some reason I can't log into that account on the forums here right now ) Anyways I am guessing that they will eventually have the option in game to change the chat color but it's just a guess. If the moderators find this not appropriate to post, please let me know, thanks. There is no altering ui's here, it's just a config file sitting in one of the folders.

Changing chat color

In your Allods online program folder, there is a folder called "Personal". In there you should see a config file called "user". Open that in notepad. Now as you scroll down you will start seeing something like you see below. Take note that if you have multiple characters, keep scrolling down until you find the character that you want this on. You'll have to change it for each of your characters. I highlighted the Zone chat color. I changed mine to grey to keep it a little different from the "Say" chat color. You can try different colors by changing the color name. Hope that helps.

lol do not mess with or alter your gamefiles its a bannable offence. sorry to say.

[dianoga5]

Like I posted, if the mods think it's a bad thing, they can remove it. It's been up in another thread for a few days now. Also it's just a color change, it's not affecting gameplay and you're not modifying the game client whatsoever. I wouoldn't be surprised if it's something that is added in game sometime.

Right click the chat tab. There's a menu to change chat colors.

[dianoga4]

Again, I saw this before and have not been able to use that to change the colors. Have you actually changed the colors using that or did you just see it there?

Uhh if you know anything about what a real hack or cheat is you wouldn't have made that comment >_>

just so you know its not a game file, its settings, unless u know a game where you change settings and call it a hack then I hacked every game I played
