Make the colours configurable via XML and document it #1

I develop the EDScout tool and one thing that does is read the altered colours so it can replicate them in its own interface.

It would be great if those were readable from an XML file so that EDScout could use them too. A clear way to determine (programmatically) whether your mod is active would also be handy so the Scout can pick that up too.

Looks like a fun mod - well done Cmdr!

Hi there Jon, Well, our mod is currently working but its UI is still in development. This mod changes the Hud colors using Shaders instead of the old crappy XML, shaders give way more flexibility, try the mod and u'll see. We could for sure find a way to share and collaborate with other mods like yours, but it wouldn't be in an old xml but in a modern, flexible and standardized JSON format. stay in contact !

Regards.

Coolio. JSON would be fine as long as EDScout can be told which colours the text on the UI is configured with so that it can match them.

Happy hacking Cmdr! o7

We have FDev's explicit authorization, as long we keep it as a Visual Mod only. So, yup, we are very happy modding. o7
