Title: Color Blind Users and Aces High
Post by: funked on April 08, 2000, 06:10:00 AM
The most common form of color blindness is red-green color blindness.  Affected individuals (I'm one) can usually see red and green but they are much harder to distinguish than other colors.

All the vehicle icons and map counters and markers in Aces High are red and green.  

Doh!  Bad Choice!

But it can be easily rectified.  In the setup menus, add red/green/blue sliders for friendly and enemy colors, similar to Warbirds.

This would make the game a lot easier for us to play!

I will support this too.  I am not color blind, but I think the green is a tad too neon to read easily myself.  I am just itching to darken the green up a bit.

The green (snipped muppet singing) is too neon, and I cant see the red icons against the ground. I would be happy with pink targets if I could see them.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I suggest all icons be the same color. Be more realistic, you'd have to check closely to see if he's friend or foe.

I have some color blindness as well

Me too, pain in the butt.  I'd wish the dots on the map could be varied (ex, square, diamond, triangle, circle) and some of the gas gauges are brutal to try and read the little red indicators.

Go to clipboard/options/preferences/GUI but i dont think you can change the color of the enemy icon. I'm not sure because it's the one color I haven't tried to change is all.

In preferences you can change all of these things.

I didn't pick up that the original poster didn't know about the sliders, but even with those I've got three colors I can use (and see) for icons/map, yellow, blue and black.  So if squaddies' dot's were diamonds instead of squares, that'd be a great help.  And the sliders don't do anything for the small total fuel indicator on the fuel gauge.

why do people never read the Aces High Help Pages  or use the AH messageboard search PROPERLY (but really, if there was a tutorial on how to use the AH BBS Search function, no one would bother reading it)

in which all the questions or wishes asked for here for the most part would be found to have been added to the game long ago as options/features  etc......

instead they bump a 12 year old thread and never look at the date of the post, or better yet they do not go and ask for an answer in the help & Training forum or in the tech help forum.....

here is to another locked thread

Actually, if you use the default search criteria of 1 - 99999 for  the date all you get is a lot of posts from ten years ago.

Now, you would assume that no one has posted on that particular topic you searched since 2003?   :huh
