I have a friend who is colorblind and bought the founder pack with me back in the day to play this game. I've been trying to get him back into mechwarrior but with the game still having a lack of colorblind mode its hard for him to play. I tried to do some research for a possible workaround and found alot of people have this issue with the game.

I was wondering if any has found a way to edit a user.cfg file to fix some of the issues mainly with the HUD. like for instance changing the color of the arrows above players/enemies heads and the targeting box to be more visible, and the color of the mechs health/armor to be different and easier to tell if you just took alittle damage or your almost dead! also the mini map and crosshair hit marker to flash a different color.

I couldn't find anything. I my try and mess around and see if anything works with these console commands maybe http://docs.cryengin...ONSOLEPREFIXHUD

\/ I have no idea what if any of these commands work \/

if anyone has any experience with and could help out maybe we can forge a user.cfg file for the colorblind folks

*note (reserved)

Here is the user.cfg file I normally use that generally helps with some stuff colorblind or not. Some of its older and I think PGI has disabled some of the user commands though.
