Thats right, after long hours forsome bizarre reason converting RGB values using the lovely Windows Caculator, ive finially got someone to code a very small applet! theirs really nothing to it, only a colour picker, three RGB value boxes and a Torque Output - but its available as a free dwonload over at Ironfoot Development -

I had posted this as a resource over a week ago but GG yet to approve it :)

Also the Dark Forge Resource website now has a new front end, and upgraded forums (still needs a theme) for the QuArK users. http://www.dark-forge.com

I've used Colorcop to grab RGB float values from samples of anything on the screen in the past... But unfortunately it only gives you readings up to hundredths, and adds commas in between. So A) It's not exactly accurate, but accurate enough for most cases, and B) you have to remove the commas when pasting.

This little APP looks to be very helpful, because it gives readings up to millionths and doesn't have commas. Unfortunately I can't seem to download it at this very moment, because it's behind a private section. Does it have an eyedropper?

Interesting? its on the site - if you click "download" below the picture on the right (on the front homepage), then at the bottom of the next page it has Attachment in bold followed directly below by:

TorqueRGB.zip 144.73 KB

:)

Tell me if that work?

It hasn't got an eye dropper, but its something that could be added (to be honest didn't think of it at the time).

Mike Rowley (Apr 09, 2008 at 11:32 GMT)

That worked. Thanks.

handy tool mate. Too bad there is no eye dropper, but still very usefull.

PuG (Apr 09, 2008 at 14:25 GMT) Resource Rating: 5

Will see if we can sort something out on that :)

AWESOME! great tool. I can't tell you how sick I am of having to do that. I would have been a coder if I liked math. My white board is covered with conversion numbers for fog colors and light values form legion maps in development. Thanks a million.

I made my own program, ColorTorque. With Eye dropper and many other things =)
Thanks PuG for idea =)
