Need help with MP Bar colors

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

First of all, I wanted to say what's up to yall. It's been a while since I've last been on, been busy playing my new games and chatting with other people on the net. My work has been goin' solowly but I've been trying to get back into the swing of it for the past few days. I spent almost my whole day off from work new years day playing Warframe on the PS4, but tried to get some modding down between sessions.

Ok, so on with the topic, I need help getting the colors set for the MP bar on a mod I've been working on in secret(almost got the demo done, this is one of the last few things on my to-do list). I'm still using the old OpenBOR help.CHM so I know I'm behind, but the colormagic command in it for Lifebar.txt isn't working for me:

#Blue
colormagic80 1 18 233
#SkyBlue
colormagic159 0 255 255
#white
colormagic160 255 255 255

Anyone know what the fix is?

Sup DJ,

- I started updating that .CHM file, try this copy that has Bloodbane's updated manual and all the tutorials etc.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8npe55sby4kxnka/OpenBoR%20Help.pdf

- Check here in manual for the lifebar settings, - http://dcemulation.org/?title=OpenBORManual#LIFEBAR.txt

colormagic {R} {G} {B}

~Controls the color of the MP bar.

colormagic2 {R} {G} {B}

~When a player's MP bar is longer than their health, the extra MP is overlaid on top of the first bar in this color, like with health.

Thanks BeasTie, but that seems to be the same exact info the chm file had. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the MP bar to change colors like the lifebar. I have it set to turn blue, sky blue, then white, but it only changes from blue and sky blue at certain times., when I wanna get it like this:

#Blue
colormagic79 0 0 155
#SkyBlue
colormagic158 0 255 255
#white
colormagic160 255 255 255

I'm still using the old OpenBOR help.CHM

That file is very outdated, I've updated the manual several times after that.

Look here dcemulation.org/index.php5?title=OpenBORManual

 

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

I understand it's old, but it's more convenient for finding what I need. By any chance, is there a way to for my to edit it the this file, and copy the text from the updated manual?

I think is what Beastie is doing.

 

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

Yeah, but that was a PDF file, unless he plans on turning that into a CMH file at some point, then ok.

[aL BeasTie]

yeah it is updated with the entire manual from dcemulation

Actually I have it in CHM format too, that's just the link I had handy at the time.
Here you go - https://www.dropbox.com/s/09484bpn38zmixe/OpenBoR%20Help%202013.7z

The PDF works the same way thou, but if you view it online you won't see the index, if you download it and open in windows it does. (depends on the PDF viewer you have)

BTW this document is still a WIP so haven't posted much about it.  But it contains a complete manual, additional tutorials and information compared to the old one.  I also started adding a section for scripting.

--------

With your mpbar problem, as far as I know the settings you have are incorrect, the only commands are

colormagic {R} {G} {B}
colormagic2 {R} {G} {B}

so you can only have

#Blue
colormagic 1 18 233
#SkyBlue
colormagic2 0 255 255

Was kinda hoping it would work like lifebar. I have it set that way now, just kinda wish I can get it to change at certain numbers.
