Getting VUI+ to Display Full Color Perks/Icons Thread - Vanilla UI Plus mod for Fallout: New Vegas

hey,

so as the title suggests i am trying to add in full color .dds perks/traits/glow icons/paperdoll and i am struggling to find where in the .xml's i need to edit or what the command would be. any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

gratefully,

saint

You don't need to edit UI-xml files. Colors will show up in your icons and will be tinted according to the player's selected HUD Color at the Display settings. If the player chooses White, then your colors will show as you intend them.

except its not and i have my hud set to pure white, not default white... im not talking map icons or ycons or any of that. im talking perk/skill/trait icons. ive already updated the .dds images and replaced them with color versions but it still displays as white in the pipboy/level up menus/trait menus (pure white value is 255/255/255 and thats what i have set), my ycons and colorful map icon mods are displaying correctly but the perks/traits/skills still come up pure white. i think i might have already figured out the issue, but i will need to test more tomorrow. its looking like i might need to remove the:

<systemcolor> &hudmain; <systemcolor>

that relates to these menus and icons in vui+ but its late and can wait for tomorrow. also to clarify more because i think our wires are crossed here, when i say "in full color" or "fully colored" icons i do not mean ONE uniform color. i colored them all the way in, as in the hair is one color, the outfits have multiple colors, skin has a different color. the issue im having is that they are still coming in uniform white despite the .dds being edited, correctly named etc. so the issue is 99% likely to be .xml related. could see how that might have been confusing though

anyhow, i appreciate the response either way. i will sort it out on my own. thank you for the awesome mod and for taking the time to respond!

It works for me (image is safe for work, despite what Imgur's AI thinks). I've just added colors to the texture and it shows up without UI-xml edits.

well huh... is there some kind of incompatibility with MAPMO or hud editor?

sorry if i came across as rude last night, was not trying to was just exhausted.

sooo im an idiot, an absolute clown lol

i used LOOT once about 3 weeks ago and it messed up some of my load order. can confirm after fixing this that with vui+ properly positioned the full color icons are showing up now.

thank you again, sorry for wasting your time

You weren't rude at all. Take care buddy.
