Change colour of scanner marks?

[Shifty]

Does anyone know how to change the colour and/or shape of the dots on the human scanner?

OR

Does anyone know of a hud that uses different shaped/coloured dots on the scanner?

Yes. Open the human_hud.menu in the ui folder of your HUD with a text editor. Search for SCANNER and edit the forecolor numbers (they are stored as Red, Green, Blue, Alpha).

    //SCANNER
    itemDef
    {
      name "scanner"
      rect 205 355 228 48
      visible 1
      decoration
      forecolor 0.8 0.8 1.0 1.0
      background "ui/assets/human/scanner.tga"
      ownerdraw CG_PLAYER_HUMAN_SCANNER
    }

Yeah I know about that but isnt that the colour of the scanner image itself? not the dots?

[Meisseli]

It's been a long time since HUDding but IIRC it should do both the dots and the scanner image.
