Hello everyone its Ricardo and I'm still playing elite dangerous now the purpose
of this video today is not the talk about the in-game happenings of elite
dangerous or show you how to do a passenger run or shoot somebody it's the
talk about the hood and the hood colors now I play elite on the PC and they're
obviously different versions out you got the Mac you've got the PC you've got the
PlayStation and the Xbox one Xbox 1s and whatever the new one is Xbox X anyway
the Xbox so that leads me on them for quite a while however on the consoles as
far as I understand it you cannot change your head color sorry console users
you're stuck with the orange now that's ours of the 14th of January 2018 we're
all waiting for beyond to come and hit us in beta on the 25th of January
however at this point in the game we haven't been given any indication that
in the consoles you'll be able to change your head color so sorry about that
everyone anyway if you do play on the PC and you feel a break from the norm and
just sick of that orange okay you can change your head colors now I'm using
this head configuration so the cyan is so light is nearly a white and a little
blue tint to it and also we got the red around some of the accents as well the
station and the ship show up is green and we flick through I think it's nice
and bright I think it's nice and you know it's fresh looking as opposed to
the dreary orange that you get as standard now all this is all well and
good but what's the numbers and how do I do it right well I'll show you what the
numbers are
now don't worry I'll put them up at the end and I also put them in the comments
of the video as well so you can see them but how do you apply it so let's take a
look at that now if you haven't any Denso please click that subscribe and
like button that will really help me out and look for the notification icon as
well as I'll let you know what I'm put in more videos like this on YouTube now
there's a few all different ways you can change your hood
you've got the elite dangerous profiler by dr. kind and this is a great little
tool as it will allow you to view in the hood editor what colors you want you can
simply change these out in any of the color bands and get colors that's good
for you this is great once you've got the numbers you can stick it back into
here and apply and bang there it is okay you can detect your current settings
which is showing my current hood settings here so there's one way the
dangerous profiled by dr. chi he's got instructions on his website I think is a
fantastic tool please get out there and support him you
know I don't think you can go far wrong if you want to do it manually then
you're gonna have to navigate to the app data local frontier development elite
dangerous options and graphics folder that's a bit of a mouthful isn't it now
generally you might not be able to see this so what you'll have to do within
file explorer is turn on hidden items and then I've also got file extensions
turned on as well if any reason for that is is that some of the files and folders
within Windows 10 and other versions of Windows are hidden from the general
public and they do that to stop you doing anything ridiculous like deleting
them so be very careful on what you're doing okay I take no responsibility for
anyone breaking their computers or their system configure
now the file you want is the graphics configuration override on XML if you
right-click that and say open with and then click on notepad you'll open the
file and that is basically all that's in mine now the numbers that you want are
these paste them in
and then you can have head colors just like mine
save the file into elite load it up and then you can have a herd
just like that went down little window also there are other sites a rkk you
calm her the editor again here you can test out what the head looks like and it
gives you a little box down the bottom that you can cut and paste and then post
it into your graphics configuration override XML file so you can go full on
lemon you can change different aspects you can really have a good play about
with it anyway lots of instructions there as well
also it gives you some information on where to look for things hidden
directories as we mentioned updater local windows wherever you know you've
got your your local Windows folder with at BCDE whatever gene who knows who
knows where you put it and it's also support there for Mac OS okay so it's
the graphics configuration XML there you go see
lovely graphics overwrite post that in there
and you're good you're all done and then you can have a hood just like this so as
a few ways of doing it I do it my way there's the IDI profile away as the
website I just showed you so hopefully you can now go around and start rocking
some great hair colors be very careful how you do it thanks very much for
watching I'll put the head colors in a big text file at the end and I'll put
them in the comment section as well and happy tinker it fly safe look out for
more videos in the series
