You may also want to change the colors in the firing effect, overheat effect, and the material effect.

I tried using his app to change the color, but when I go to load the map on my xbox it says I failed to load it. Any idea why?

I did resign it.

TDTL editor never even loads any of my maps. And they are all clean. :(

"Failed to load" means the mainmenu couldn't find the map. Check the name, or rename it to a map you know is on the mainmenu.

I've never had any problems with the tdtl editor.

I have it named as Ascension.map so that's not the problem.

Try naming it zanzibar.map.

I don't mean to be condescending, but "failed to load" errors usually mean you goofed up something, such as trying to load a different instance of the game on your HDD that does not have the modded map in it, forgetting to resign as Kibito mentioned, or having a mismatch between the path on the mainmenu and the actual map name.

if the actual file name includes the capital letter that could be your problem...

I know this is unlikely
But do you have your shared.map and spshared.map in the maps folder?
I've failed a map by not having these maps once :(

If you think the editor is killing your map then do this.

Edit a new maps tdtl then open the map in entitys meta editor along side yuor map.

Go to the tdtl class and open the first tag in the list(for both maps)

Then scroll down to the color reflexive and copy all the chunk values to your map.

Does any one know where I can get the tdtl plugin?
