Does anyone know if its possible to change the HUD colors, like as if changing the colors in-game, to anything you would want such as white, red, etc?
I've been going through the Crytek\Crysis\Game\GamaData.pak\Scripts\UI\HUD\HUD.lua, and there are what seems to be color ranges, or whatever, inside it.
But I'm not really sure where to start.

Just a guess, and I suggest making a back-up, but look in Crytek\Crysis\Game\GamaData.pak\Scripts\UI\HUD\Screens\default.lua and change the "color = { 128, 255, 255, 0 }," values.

The format looks like "color = { R, G, B, Alpha },"
The max for each R G and B value (Red, Green, Blue respectively) is 255, whereas the min is 0.
Alpha value is basically the transparency, 255 being opaque, and 0 being invisible.
But I can't be sure as I haven't tried changing it, good luck.

NOTE: I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS CORRECT. (Caps for those who tend not to read fully through posts).

Alright, I'll try that out.

Do I need to put this into a new .pak? Because I dunno how to. :\

[Paulonymous]

If you do, you'll have to create a mod for it. Just copy and paste the current .pak, and just put back_up at the end of the file name.

Well, I modded the lua file and stuck it in a .pak with the correct path in the Game folder. But now all I get when I start Crysis is that it stopped working.

Thats why you made the backup, wait 'til someone with HUD experience to post.

or check on crymod.
alot of ppl have made a custom hud, for an example simrad from the far crysis mod made a new one from scratch.

Yeah, I was going to check Crymod for anything today. I saw someone that posted a reskin of the SCAR that had a purple HUD. So I was wondering how since default ones get kinda blah looking.

if you want to change the color of the hud thats simpel if you want to make a hole new then you can watch my tutorial and you can learn a thing or two and just simpel copy past the code so it will go a bit faster
