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 I'll 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 elites be 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 us 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 but in the consoles
you'll be able to change your head colour 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 it's nearly a white and I know blue tint
to it and I'll see 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 ever need Denso please click that subscribe and like
button that would really help me out and look for the notification icon as well
as I'll let you know where I'm putting more videos like this on YouTube now
there's a few old 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
just showing my current head settings here so there's one way the dangerous
profiled by dr. chi he's got instructions on his website I think it's
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 updater 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
configuration now the file you want is the graphics configuration over I dot
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 pasted them in
and then you can have head colors just like mine
save the file in to 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 heard that
deter 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 gee 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 there's 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 rockin some great header 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 tinkering fly safe look out for more videos in the series
you
