So far I've been doing pretty well with making my own menu on my own. I have to say, the Luna Engine really is a godsend for me, and so far I'm actually really proud with how far I've gotten:



...but there's a couple things missing. First, I want pretty much all the fonts to be set to black. (The outlined hp, mp & lv there are actually part of an image so they don't count)

I can't find out how to change the font colors to the command window. I'm assuming the options are here:



and here:



and as you can see I have, in fact, set both parameters to [0, 0, 0] which should definitely translate to 'black', but in both cases nothing seems to have changed it from white. Not even if I add an opacity chunk at the end so it looks like [0, 0, 0, 255]. 

While the font color itself refuses to change, the outlines are fine. I'm able to add opacity to either one of those lines and change the parameters thusly. (As you might see in the first & second image, I do in fact have the :font_outer opacity set to 80.

As for the Gold window, I want to be able to change the font and outline for as well but I see absolutely no means in the script editor to do so. I would add the functions myself, but I don't know where I should and I'm too scared of ruining everything.

If anyone is willing to help at all, I'd be deeply grateful. Thank you for your time.

Isn't black supposed to be 255,255,255? I haven't checked.


Do any other values work? Try 1, 1, 1?

If it creates the color via Color.new(R,G,B,A) and uses a non-negative drawing mode, black is 0,0,0 (after all, black is the absence of colors). 255,255,255 would then be white.


Did you try it with other fonts for the commands? It might be that the font itself causes the problem. Seeing as how the other texts in the other areas which uses another font seems to be black.

Actually, they're all the same font 4 pixels smaller (the outline just makes it look different I guess) My own personal font, which. It seems like other fonts such as Georgia and Times New roman don't show any change, either. I changed the HP numbers as well just to make sure I'm not crazy.
Here it is with Times...

with Georgia...



Very frustrating.

If it's possible for me to add a color.new string, do you know where exactly I can put it? As minor as this problem is, my full intention is to portray a very comic book-like appearance, and having white fonts with black borders isn't exactly doing it for my intended portrayal...

Plus it just looks gross.

Hmm. I tried putting it under :height where it normally seems to go...



Still nothin'.

Yeah. I've tried [255,0,0], [0,255,0], [0,0,255], none of it seems to work. :/

And 0,0,0 is definitely black. That's what I have everything else set to and it seems to work.

Well, I've just packed up what I have as it might be easier to look at this way. You'll see I've made no major changes outside of the Configuration Main Menu, CP Menu Command Config, and adding the MOG_Menu_Cursor script (which doesn't effect anything, I've checked by trying to change the font colors in newly copied luna engine folders without it, and it still doesn't go)

I have at least found out where the gold window's font color is, and successfully changed that to black in 'Lunatic Config Main Menu'. I'm wondering if I'd be able to add a string there for the command menu's font color. I would try it out, but I don't really know how and I'm afraid of ruining everything.

just for saying ...it is better to send the demo via pm bankanon because now you make people enable to access the demo (people who maybe not paid the luna engine) 

but I am not sure of how the TOS is build for luna engine just saying :)

ah yes, Luna is a paid resource so you don't want to post something in public in where they could get Luna (for free)

Oop sorry. Now I feel stupid ha... Removed.

I think I'll just keep trying on my own at this point. Sorry about being such an idiotic drip. It's probably due to my very own incompetence that this is happening, anyway. You can close this thread.

Thanks anyway.

if after you removed yanfly core engine ...well I don't know what could provoke this bug

ehck sorry

got frustrated with myself.

...well, I just nixed out yanfly temporarily and instead it caused the menu bg to move sideways and down a bit....? I'm not gonna touch that.

I guess the last thing I could try is changing the colors in Lunatic Config Main Menu. I know I should put the changes under def self.user_command_text but I don't know exactly what to put. Anyone know...?

Oops, sorry about double-posting but I managed to fix the problem by overriding everything with a simple script to change the default font colors & outlines.

It caused the outlines for things like battler stats to disappear too, but I'll come up with a workaround for that on my own.

Thanks anyway! This case is solved.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
