Red-Green colourblindness mode #73

Open Hubcapp opened 3 years ago

Hubcapp commented 3 years ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness 8% of all males and 0.5% of all females are red-green colourblind. This is actually a huge amount of people. Playing RSC as a colourblind person I would imagine is currently a frustrating thing, since several of the UI elements in the RSC client were not designed with colourblindness in mind.

We should support user-configurable colours for both "bad" and "good" which would apply in the following situations:

UI elements where the information is given ONLY by the colour (very important)

Health Bars red green health

Quest List red green quest list

Friends List (online-offline) red green friends list

UI elements where the Red-Green colour is used as an indicator in addition to textual information

Level hardness rating red green level-xx

Whether or not you have the runes to cast the spell red green magic spells

Game options toggles red green options

Labelling as a bug, since this issue could make sections of the game unusable for some people until it is fixed.

Possibly we would want to just hook the colour conversion for color codes, plus the health bar. @red@ @gre@ @gr1@ @gr2@ @gr3@ @or1@ @or2@ @or3@ would all have custom colours (and may as well hook all of them for good measure?)

and there's a hook to do here too for the health bar: https://bitbucket.org/eggsampler/rsc/src/bca75cc4bd27fd5d2460d5ae4ffc4484253da21f/233/src/client.java#lines-6443
