Chaos Descending Character Select Screen

[Darqwood]

For players who are disturbed by the very red character select screen, unzip and drop the below file into your custom UI folder to reduce the red tint. It's a very simple filter added over the window, with just a little bit of green to offset the red. When and if the game developers change the art, you can simply delete the file which will go back to using the default.

If you want to play around with tint (BackgroundColor) and opacity (BackgroundOpacity) of the filter, you can find the values on line 507.

There is supposed to be a change to the character select screen in today's patch. Assuming you like it, you won't need to change anything. If not, post here again and I'll walk you through setting up this file.

I patched and checked and didn't really notice any difference - maybe it's just a touch paler now but still eye strain red.

I played with your settings a bit and cranked up to #00FF00 at opacity 0.2. I now have pale green wash which takes the red out of the 2 windows completely. It does obviously still corrupt the character's colours but no more so than the awful red and at least this doesn't make my eyes bleed. So thanks very much, Darq

I didn't understand why at Tkia it isn't rewritten by checker.. hmm..

To prevent the file from being changed when you use the patcher, it needs to go into a custom UI folder. You have some choices:

1. If you already have EQ2MAP installed with no other custom UI, you can drop the unzipped file into that folder.

2. If you don't use EQ2MAP, you can create a simple custom UI folder using these generic instructions and drop the unzipped file into it.

3. Alternatively you can install an empty DarqUI using these instructions, which will create an empty custom UI folder and set it up as your default automatically. Drop the file into that folder and it will be the only customization in your game.

Thanks. Seems they don't want to remove unnatural color in library. And especially to return former selection screen..
