The Fireselect Bar is the bar that indicates if you have auto or single fire selected... woot woot?

Not very exciting... to be honest I never even look at it... it's auto all the way man :)

All I did with mine was change a few things around for the background, position and colour and got rid of the "Gun" icon.

The file you will need to edit (for icon positions and background) is ...
HudPlayerStatusFireSelect.res it can be found in... dod/Resource/UI

Inside that file are sections to adjust the background, bullet icons and weapon type icons... "Bullet_Left" "Bullet_Center" "Bullet_Right" "Icon_MP44" and "Icon_BAR". These icons are actually a character in a font file not a graphic.

The font file is a TrueType Font file called "dodlogo" and can be found in the dod\resource folder.

In Win XP you should be able to double click on a font file and look at it's contents, if you want to view more closely you can use a freeware utility called The Font Thing  by Sue Fisher.

For the colours of the Fireselect icon "the gun graphic" you can edit the ClientScheme.res file if you like…


HudFireSelectIcon.Active                "HudProgressBarActive" (This is a light green "240 207 78 255" )


But! ...You can also change the colour of all the icons in the HudPlayerStatusFireSelect.res file found in... dod/Resource/UI.

In each section just look for "iconColor" and change the value to what you want....

"Bullet_Left"
        {
                "ControlName"        "CIconPanel"
                "fieldName"                "Bullet_Left"
                "xpos"                        "190"
                "ypos"                        "0"
                "wide"                        "16"
                "tall"                        "16"
                "visible"                "1"
                "enabled"                "1"
                "scaleImage"        "0"        
                "icon"                        "fireselect_bullet"
                "iconColor"                "HudProgressBarInActiveLow"

Now if you wanted to make the left bullet a transparent black you would change the last line to...

                "iconColor"                "0 0 0 196"

Other adjustments that are for positioning are...

        "xpos"                        "190" ...Adjusting this will move left and right.
        "ypos"                        "0" ...Adjusting this will move up and down.
        "wide"                        "16" ...Makes it wider/narrower. (see below for important note!)
        "tall"                          "16" ...Makes it taller/smaller. (see below for important note!)
        "visible"                      "1" ... "0" makes it disable.
        "enabled"                    "1" ... "0" makes it disable.

So just play around with all the other sections until you are happy :)

NOTE:
When moving items around, don't forget there is a page to help speed that up a little. Have a read here.
