changing colors for pain & item pickup

[iamthejake2000]

i know this is a weird question, but is there a way to change the colors for pain & item pickup? it seems their too dim so that, for example, getting hurt is hard to notice. i'm using version 1.23 beta 28a.

thanks.

It's not customisable. It used to be via the PLAYPAL lump but ZDoom does all blending internally.

BTW, is there a reason why you are still using 1.23?

Thats bad... the original DOOM.EXE didn't and so it was customizable... that was cool! *featuresuggestion*

No chance. ZDoom does it differently so all the various blends can be mixed. Doom couldn't do that.

Try combining a radiation suit with a berserk in ZDoom and you get an effect that mixes both colors together.

Pickup colours can be altered via dehacked.

eg, in the misc section of a dehcked patch

Powerup Color Berserk = RRR GGG BBB AAA
Powerup Color Radiation Suit = whatever

I think the last value is alpha (how intense the colour is) but it doesn't seem very subtle. Nearly all values seem to make it either almost invisible or far too dark, with little middle ground.

Really? Wow, that's something that has real value to me. Thanks Enjay!

OK, thanks to Graf's comments in the bugs thread, I know why I was having difficulty setting the alpha value for the effect. The colours can have values like 0-255 but the alpha value is "floating point". So values like 0.1, 0.2 etc should be used.
