Hello. I want to give a purple aura to some character and I don't understand the color codes.

So if somebody can modify this:

auraColor 1.0 1.0 0.1
auraLightColor 1.0 1.0 1.0
auraTrailColor 1.0 1.0 0.1



to purple..please? Smile

It's simple. Those three numbers you see are the RGB (Red Green Blue) values normalized. What you are probably used to is entering a range between 0 and 255 rather than a range between 0 and 1.0. To convert, you simply need to divide your original number by 255.

Lets do a few examples. First, in reverse using the value you have right now.

  Red   Green  Blue
-------------------
  1.0    1.0    0.1  (normalized color)
X 255    255    255
-------------------
  255    255     25  (decimal color)




As you can see by this mini chart, the color you have right now is yellow. Lets do a little calculation and find out how to do a purple.


  Red   Green  Blue
-------------------
  170     16    170  (decimal color)
/ 255    255    255
-------------------
  0.6   0.06    0.6  (normalized color)



It's really as easy as that. 4th grade (children's) math. Normalized colors are used everywhere in Quake 3 so knowing how to do a simple calculation is pretty important!
