G-Series Gaming Keyboards

Hey all!

Just got my G13 and LOVE it but was wondering if there is a way to have your backlight to change when the profiles are changed.. for instance i have one profile that has m1 m2 m3 with the colors green blue and red. But if i switch characters or even games and change to a diferent profile is there a way for the backlighting to be different to reflect the change in profiles? As it is the colors are staying the same green blue and red no matter which profile i change to.

Any advice is greatly apprieciated!

My custom-color script for WoW (M1 = Druid, M2 = Paladin, M3 = Priest)

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    
    --custom backlighting color per profile
    --first we create variables
    if ( event=="PROFILE_ACTIVATED" ) then 
        mkey = GetMKeyState();
        r = 0
        g = 0
        b = 0
 
        --color settings for M1
        if ( mkey==1) then
            SetBacklightColor(0, 0, 0);  --Turn off backlighting, then we fade in the color in 12 steps (just to look cool) 
            Sleep(10);
            r = 2
            while (g < 55) do 
                SetBacklightColor(r, g, b);
                Sleep(30);  -- 12x30ms=360ms = just over 1/3 second
                r = r + 23
                g = g + 5
                end
            SetBacklightColor(255, 55, 0); --orange - this is my WoW druid macro set
        end
        
        --color settings for M2.  This time with no fade (because I'm lazy)
        if ( mkey==2 ) then
            SetBacklightColor(255, 152, 154); --pink, for the paladin
        end

        --color settings for M3, also with no fade
        if ( mkey==3 ) then
            SetBacklightColor(129, 255, 129);  --white - for the priest
        end

    end

    --if M-keys are pressed during gameplay

    if ( event=="M_RELEASED" ) then

        if ( arg==1 ) then
            SetBacklightColor(255, 55, 0);  --M1 = orange
        end

        if ( arg==2 ) then
            SetBacklightColor(255, 152, 154); --M2 = pink
        end

        if ( arg==3 ) then
            SetBacklightColor(129, 255, 129); --M3 = white
        end
    end
   
    if (event=="PROFILE_DEACTIVATED" ) then --when the game shuts down
        SetBacklightColor(129, 255, 129);  --set backlighting color to white (my default)
    end  
end

 

And my script for constantly changing colors:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
        local r = 0
        local g = 255
        local b = 125
        rdir = 1
        gdir = 1        
        bdir = 1 
repeat
    r = RedCycle(r);
    g = GreenCycle(g);
    b = BlueCycle(b);
    SetBacklightColor(r, g, b);   
    
until ( event=="PROFILE_DEACTIVATED" )
SetBacklightColor(129, 255, 129); --white
end

function RedCycle(r)
            
    if (r >= 255) then
        rdir = 0
        r = 254
        Sleep(150);
        return r 
    elseif  (r <= 0) then
        rdir = 1
        r = 1
        Sleep(100);
        return r
    elseif (r < 255) then
        if (rdir == 1) then
            r = r + 1
            Sleep(15);
            return r 
        elseif (rdir == 0) then
            r = r - 1
            Sleep(45);
            return r 
        end
    end
end

function GreenCycle(g)
            
    if (g >= 255) then
        gdir = 0
        g = 254
        Sleep(150);
        return g 
    elseif  (g <= 0) then
        gdir = 1
        g = 1
        Sleep(100);
        return g
    elseif (g < 255) then
        if (gdir == 1) then
            g = g + 1
            Sleep(25);
            return g 
        elseif (gdir == 0) then
            g = g - 1
            Sleep(55);
            return g 
        end
    end
end

function BlueCycle(b)
            
    if (b >= 255) then
        bdir = 0
        b = 254
        Sleep(100);
        return b 
    elseif  (b <= 0) then
        bdir = 1
        b = 1
        Sleep(100);
        return b
    elseif (b < 255) then
        if (bdir == 1) then
            b = b + 1
            Sleep(55);
            return b 
        elseif (bdir == 0) then
            b = b - 1
            Sleep(15);
            return b
        end
    end
end

hey i just started using your script for constantly changing colors and ever since LGDcore.exe has been locking up and not switching profiles when it used to work fine.  i have to use task man to shut down and restart the Core.exe.

I am also trying to use this with the G13 calculator script. i just pasted it at the end of the calc script. is that propor or is my lack of scpriting knoledge cause my problem by causing some loop? should i paste it before the last end?

[Trusselo]

at the moment im trying it with out the calc script see how it goes.

is there a script command for inverting the colors on the screen?

To be honest I haven't tested it outside of a game, so I don't know how it would behave with other stuff running at the same time.  That's just active while I'm playing Diablo 2, and D2 is not super system-intensive.  Additionally, it's probably not the cleanest way to do what I'm trying to do.  I just thought it was kind of fun.
