Well, not my first app..but an easy one. This is VERY useful for editing shaders/lights/contrails/etc. (anything with RGB values).
You enter in the decimal values of the RGB located in the tag you are editing, press view color and it shows you the color. Also I included a color picker so you can choose your own colors visually, and it converts them to decimal values for you. Most people dont know how to edit shader colors yet, but I will soon post a tut on it, but if you know how to...this is VERY useful for determining what you are editing.
Ummm...btw, dont enter any values above 1, they will not work..and will give an exception.
Thanks,
Bob

Is this a basic calulator ? Like it will divide your 1-0 number from halo into a 255-0 ? If so, I think my MS calc can do the job

it shows you the color so you can visually see the color.

Dude, thats really awesome. Basically, like if you want to edit the needler light/color and you want it red, just go to pick color and it'll give you the decimals to enter, or you can experiment yourself and find a cool looking color so you don't have to keep FTPing back to the xbox. Very useful, I think. Good job.

ADI has a plugin that does the same thing. Still, good job on the program.

Wasn't this kinda already done before with Glitchy Guardian, I believe he made a IFP plugin that showed color values. but still this can be useful because that plugin isn't highly known.

I'm pretty sure there was...back when that thing came out to change the colors of your biped color choices in the main menu and stuff. Like to make a Spartan/Elite/emblem whatever color you wanted.

This app is pretty good. It's one of those small things that are very handy. As long as this is the first one you have seen
Edit: Here's a pic I made.

If you could allow hex colors or to enter my own RBG values that would be pretty cool. I am actually going to use this though because I don't really use anything besides dothalo, h2x, and insolence for my main modding.

you can enter your own RGB values by using the "Pick Color" button

nice app, kinda useless... same as glitchy guardian his RGB value plugin...
i reckon you should make an app that can edit all possible RGB values in a .map or something like that.
i normally use this site for my colors
