Xpilot : Newbieguide  : xpilot.ini

---

The rest of the configuration is done in the xpilot.ini itself, like setting the colors and fonts. This file can be found in your XPilot-directory
You can get all the options by clicking here

Colors

You can select how many colors you want to see by changing (or adding) the option

maxColors=    8

You can also specify which colors you want by adding or editing these lines :

color0=    0 0 0
color1=    255 0 0
color2=    0 255 0
color3=    0 0 255
color4=    168 0 168

These colors are given in RGB-values (Red Green Blue-values).
The first number is the amount of red, given in values ranging from 0 to 255.
The second number is the amount of red, given in values ranging from 0 to 255.
The third number is the amount of red, given in values ranging from 0 to 255.

So for example, the colors chosen above.

0 0 0 = black
255 0 0 = red
0 255 0 = green
0 0 255 = blue
168 0 168 = purple

Bitmaps

XPilot also has a nice graphical skin. It will change your client from this to this.
To use it find (or add) these lines in your xpilot.ini

colorSwitch=    No
texturedObjects=    Yes

• It will slow down your client considerably if your computer can't keep up.
• Shipshapes are also textured, which means you won't be able to see different shipshapes anymore. You can still see if ships are enemy or friendly.

Fonts

You can use different fonts in Xpilot by again editing your xpilot.ini.
Find or add these lines :

gameFont=    -*-times-*-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
scoreListFont=    -*-fixed-bold-*-*-*-15-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

You can go and read the relevent sections in the XWindow-User-HOWTO and manually decode what the above actually means.
Of course you can also just experiment.

For example, changing the above gameFont by substituting arial for times. Xpilot will now use the Arial-font instead of the Times New Roman.

These are all the more important options.
Again, all other options can be found in this optionlist.
