I made a mod for SP/MP to have a sword. It covers over the beam rifle, and still shoots. only one prob... How can I make it be translucent? currently it is a solid blue color and does not glow. And also...I saw someone make it glow in sp, but have not been able to do it....
How can I make it glow, or be transparent?
Thanx guys, im stumped....
PS. It still shoots,, so elites wont be stupid and shoot an do no damage! anyways looks a lot cooler than abeam rifle....

EDIT: at this point I realy would like to make it transparent...glow is not as much of an issue as the transparency....

with ce you can make it transparent, and it will accually look like something with the right shaders.

cant be done in first person (as of yet) to make thrid person glow just inject the energy sword from b40 into an mp map, changes its weapon idea to that of plasma rifle (looks best in thrid person if you use id of flamethrower), use my ultimate wepaons plugin (found at top of this of the halo pc section), to give it the first person model, first person anitmation trigger, and the HUD InterFace of that of the plasma rifles, also uncheck "DEtonates WHen Dropped" and swap it for the plasma rifle.... voila a working, chopping energy sword with no fp glow
yesyes

Wouldn't the fp model be the flamethrower istead of the energy sword? What am I missing here?
What first person model, what trigger? What the bloody hell are ye talking about, Sir Ducky.

You're not telling me what model to use much less wat trigger to use.
And you're model/animation thing. It's only good for what's in the map? You just swap numbers instead of clicking on dots and swapping numbers for the stuff not into bullet list which is easier?

I figured out how a while ago and just so you guys know its not a true glow and instead of a shader swap its a bitmap swap.

Yeah.... I was thinking of that, like swaping it w/ a bitmap for a teleporter, should give me it. A corrupted bitmap once gave me a cool energy look, but it lloked weird... so I always thought it ight be a bitmap swap...

What the bloody hell should be swapped?

To make it transparent swap shaders. To make the glow like that dude did: He just enlarged the Plasma Rifle glow thing on the muzzle.
