Puzzleitem.Failmessage change color of text? [Solved]

Post by Doominer441 »

When I'm creating a puzzle item, I'm using the failmessage to give the player a hint as to what the item does, but I noticed the text seems to default to this nasty brown color. In Hexen the color is gold, so I presume this is a palette issue, but regardless is there a way to change the color of the text so it fits with other in-game text better?

To change the color of the centered messages, modify the values of the msgmidcolor and msgmidcolor2 CVARS. Here are the colors which you can choose from.

Not really. It's just a matter of different defaults for each game.
