Odyssey - Personal HUD Colors gone?

[Nerza]

Just launched Odyssey for the first time, got my ship and stuff... But my own HUD color is gone and tweaking the GraphicsConfiguration.xml seems to not work anymore.
Someone has a fix? Or is it intended?

I tried to dig around to find a file with the HUD color codes and came up short every time. I noticed there's a new set of directories that were updated yesterday, which don't have a Graphics Config in them, but the older directories, which DO have the Graphics Config in them, haven't been updated since January. Kinda sucks, because I had my hud colored to not only be easier on my eyes but also match the interior of my ship and now it's locked at the orange again..

My settings are still in use. But I use an Override .xml file that isn't being overwritten with updates.

If I am not mistaken, Odyssey is installed into a different folder, so your config file might be not in use.

Yeah, I found it.
For those wondering, go to Users\Username\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics and open GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml with the text book and put it like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<GraphicsConfig>
<GUIColour>
<Default>
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 0.39, 0.47, 0.21 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0.08, 0.14, 1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, -0.03, -1 </MatrixBlue>
</Default>
</GUIColour>
</GraphicsConfig>

And tweak your numbers for red, green and blue as you wish and like you might used to do.

Keep in mind that the odessy menu is kinda broken... Your own color will work if you use the appdata override file. BUT... The station menus are broken in many ways. Images don't look right and is directly affected by your color setup.

Also keep in mind that on foot HUD has your color setup inverted. Matrix Red is matrix blue instead and so on.

As you can see in this thread though, the colors have changed though. A lot of things are darker, or a different color altogether.

Not just that but my dolphin windows has broken shader. No longer looks like the windows are windows from the exterior.

I just went to Steamapps/Common/Elite Dangerous/Products/elite-dangerous-odyssey-64 and edited the GraphicsConfiguration.xml there.

Haven't tested it yet, but I did the exact same thing with Horizons a few days ago and that worked just fine.

That file is being overwritten with every update. It's better to use the GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml file.

The one in AppData? Because the steamapps directory doesn't seem to have an override.

If you don't have that file there, you just create a new text file with that name, and add your override code in it.

A'ight, I'll do that.

EDIT: Just to make sure, right now, my override in the game directory for odyssey looks like this:

<GUIColour>
<Default>
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 0.2, 0.05, 2 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> -0.15, 2, -0.5 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1.75, -1, -0.3 </MatrixBlue>
</Default>

Correct?

My colors still work without changing anything, although they are slightly darker than before. I think I am using the GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml in appdata. Only terminals on foot still show the standard orange color, and the on foot hud is mostly white - which I don't like, but it fits my color settings if it is supposed to be turquoise.

I'll have to try this later, because I edited the Override file last night and it didn't work. Could have had something wrong in the XML code though! Thanks for the posts everyone
