I'm working on a Ghost Recon Mod and some elements of the game's UI and HUD color code is hard coded in the game's "GhostRecon.exe" file while others are not.

I know that NoCD programmers understand how to decipher the code structures in an EXE and wonder if there might be a Programmer or Hacker here of the well intended variety with enough knowledge to decipher and edit the default code colors in (I believe) the "GhostRecon.exe" file"

The default color that's applied to some HUD and UI assets is a baby pastel blue, and any color editing of other HUD elements gets mixed with this color on some elements and not others which just makes HUD and interface redesign a mess. Ideally the default color would be white.

If you or someone you know -- knows how to do this sort of thing steer them this way, and PM me through these forums post info here in this thread or email me! I know I and many Ghost Recon Modder would be eternally grateful!

You can find the most current 1.4 version NoCD patched "GhostRecon.exe" right here on Game Burn World (http://www.gameburnworld.com/) or on Game Copy World (http://gamecopyworld.com/)...

Not sure if it would be possible to do that?

I'm not sure either, that's why I'm posting... But I do see color information blocks and color markers when I open the file in a hex editor, and that's what encouraged me to post asking for help.

Yes I've been a member of GRN for some time, nothing there. Just need a Coder/Hacker that knows low level stuff...
