Yeah, I was looking in Zanzibar for like 15 minutes then I realized it didn't even have teleporters >_<

So I found it in Coagulation, theres a bunch of [shad] things for the teleporter, should I try using them?

Oh really? That's pretty cool. Should I try setting the [shad] things as the [effe] in the plasma grenade?

umm i dont think that will work but look around the different maps for whatever you think has the best effect then transfer it to the map that you are using.

I'm not having much luck changing the color of this thing, I think it would be much easier if someone like VoYdE whose actually done it before told me how to do it...

lol, I'm not saying he can't do it, but it would be faster if you made a short tutorial on how to do it, but you have to fix your site.


I went to the model tag for the Plasma Grenade and changed it to something about the teleporter, but it changed the model of the actual grenade before you pick it up. I think I'm getting closer though..

try duplicating the frag and replacing the plasmas with them and then you can edit the frags effects a lot easier

use insolence to duplicate the frag by going to the equip tag and then clicking the frag then right clicking and then choosing duplicate. then go to like dothalo and go to the itmc tag and choose the plasma nade and go to dependencies and swap it for the new frag which will be named the same as the frag but it will have a 2 at the end then you just edit the effects of that nade and such.

this is a kinda guess

there is two places it could possibly be in

Bitmaps-
Not the plasma bitmap like bullets when you are shooting you see frames of bitmaps moving fast thats what causes the explosion out of the end of the gun, so possible open up dot halo look throught the bitmaps until you see one that looks like the fuzzy stuff around the plasma grenade If you do find some internalize it after extracting it then edit the extracted bitmap with photoshop then inject it into the blank spot. If thats the case ignore the next part


Shaders-
everything in the map has shaders, which COULD be light (possible) you can find the ones for the plasma grenade and change it to something like a green thing ( im not to good with shader/models ect)
