In game Pixel color is different

[dgarrett8]

Now for q3 i have glow skins and they are solid colors. I have some questions though. They are 0x00FF00 outside the game and in game they are a bunch of diff hexes. what's up with this?

There might be some palette levels in the game with logical ORing or XORing of the color byte because I remember that in Diablo 2 some mod makers made their new monsters or weapons a little purpler because of the palette color engine of the in-game mode... might be the reason.

when detecting colors in a game, dont forget about custom cursors.

in diablo 2 when detecting colors with the mouse coordinates being where the mouse is pointing, you get the same color no matter where you point the mouse. its because the cursor is bigger than normal, and autoit must detect colors on the mouse within the scope of that cursor.

i would select the coordinates with the mouse, and detect the colors slightly to the left of it.. and i would adjust accordingly.

you can also change the mouse cursor in some games, with certain types of editors.

ah yes, ty guys for the help. I'm now making my own cursor to solve this problem. i'll edit this if i ever get it working.
