A couple of questions

Post by Klaz0r »

Ok, I'm making a star wars themed mod, but I've run into a few problems. First, I want to change the carbine slug from green to red, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I've followed a bunny trail from the proj tag to effects\bitmaps\contrails\contrail_human, but I'm not sure if that is what I would change to get that effect. I also wanted to change the sky in coagulation to the one of midship, but there seems to be alot of dependecies that would have to be changed. Is that supposed to be like that? Sorry for the long post, I've just been trying all day to get these effects.

ive made alot longer posts lol dont feel bad....

umm im like 96 percent positive that in that cont director you should go to
bitm - effects\bitmaps\contrails\contrail_human
then export that from dothalo and edit it in photoshop and make it red, save it then inject it back into the same spot

now in actuallity that file isnt even in the map that your editing its in shared.map so your goin to have to sign and close the map yor working on right now and open shared.map too in dothalo then sign it... you should check it and see if the new image is there to be safe...

sry if this makes no sence im tired and im just trying to get a couple posts in for the night

edit: umm the sky... idk ive never done it but check the search cus i think thre was a tut a while ago...

go into mode tag and find the carbine slug, change the shader to snetinel gun illum, then go into proj and null out the cont, as for the sky just use insolence and go into scnr tag, click skies and change the dependancy to the one you imported

Well, I tried switching the bitmap in effects\bitmaps\contrails\contrail_human, but that didn't change it. I also couldn't find the carbine slug in the mode tag. And I heard that insolence makes maps un-systemlinkable, if thats true, I need to find another way. Thanks for your help so far.
