It basicly picks a different colour for highlighting everytime you scroll up/down in your mod menu.

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SQ3RkpnRLU[/ame]
NOTE - It sometimes repeats the same colour Eek

Open up missions.gsc and Search for something similar to this.

    drawMenu( cycle, scroll ){

menu = [[self.getMenu]]();

display = [];

if( menu.size > 2 ){

Yours may be different depending on what patch you are using.

Once you have found drawMenu add this after display = [];

    j=[];

j[0]="1";

j[1]="2";

j[2]="3";

j[3]="4";

j[4]="5";

So it will now look something like this.

    drawMenu( cycle, scroll ){

menu = [[self.getMenu]]();

display = [];

j=[];

j[0]="1";

j[1]="2";

j[2]="3";

j[3]="4";

j[4]="5";

if( menu.size > 2 ){

Now once that is done scroll down till you see something like this

    if(i == scroll) {

display[i] setText( "^1" +menu[cycle].name[i] );

Change the "^1" to "^" with the quotation marks.
Now add this after the after the "^"

    +j[randomint(j.size)]

The outcome will look something like this.

    if(i == scroll) {

display[i] setText( "^"+j[randomint(j.size)] +menu[cycle].name[i] );

Changing The Colours
Scroll back up to

    j=[];

j[0]="1";

j[1]="2";

j[2]="3";

j[3]="4";

j[4]="5";

For example

    j[0]="1";

The "1" is the colour which in this case is red.

If I changed it to

    j[0]="2";

This would be green and so on.

Colour Codes
^0 - Black
^1 - Red
^2 - Green
^3 - Yellow
^4 - Blue
^5 - Cyan
^6 - Pink
^7 - White
^8 - Default map colour
^9 - Grey or default map colour

r=randomint(255);

g=randomint(255);

b=randomint(255);

display[i].color = ((r/255),(g/255),(b/255));
