Just a quick question.....

would it be possible to get away from the greyscale palette cockpit displays ?

I mean instead of letting FS2_open assign RGB values to a greyscale cockpit, can we have cockpit displays that come with their own rgb values ?

I mostly think of the MESSAGE WINDOW , thus allowing colored CommAnims.

And yeah, may I ask for allowing MPGs being played there ?

It's possible to use normal-colored stuff on the HUD, yeah.

Actually implementing it properly would require some work, so remind me in a week or two when I'll have less SCP stuff I'm in the middle of. (Hopefully. ;) )

As for MPGs, probably not, you probably need a license of some sort. JPG, TGA, DDS, PCX, and of course ANIs would be possible though. (The first four would be done by using an EFF file)

Colored head-anis could probably done with eff's.
