Title: Colorblind Patch for UFO
Post by: Gandalph on April 05, 2010, 03:46:06 AM

So yeah, I am colorblind. This makes playing UFO very hard, since I can't tell the difference between the red and green UFO's.

I heard that there was a colorblind patch, but apparently, it's only for version 1.00a. I patched UFO to 1.00b already, and now the colorblind patch won't install. Also, I'd like to have both the colorblind patch and the English patch on at the same time, is there an easy way to do that? Or do I have to choose wisely?

I thought ZUN made the red UFOs darker in the latest patch so colorblind people can play too. And the english patch is for that version.

Don't worry about the English patch, it actually includes an option to install the colorblind mod.

No it doesn't. (http://www.gensokyo.org/archives/1032)

The colorblindness option wasn?t included in the English patch, however, as the corrections ZUN made with v1.00b should correct any gameplay issues for colorblind players

The ZUN corrections weren't really very helpful, I still have a really hard time seeing the difference between red and green UFOs, especially in the bottom left corner.

If I adjust my graphics card's settings and change the Contrast or Gamma on the Green and/or Red channels, I can make them look different though.

Yeah, the corrections ZUN made didn't do much for me. I guess I'll have to change the display settings around, unless someone can point me to the proper archive packing software, and a sprite file with a yellow ufo instead of a green one.

If anyone has the resources needed for that, it's probably Drake. Or Mr_Alert, but it's been an awful long time since I've seen him around, so. :V

I would in a flash, if I could. But despite many attempts, for some reason I have never been able to get any tools working with UFO. Or rather, they work... But the new archives crash at Stage 5 Nazrin. And only there, as well. As far as I know there hasn't been any updates as far as the tools that I use, so I'm stuck in that department. Maybe someone else can do it.

it's also the reason there's no unidentified black squares ;_;
