Needler proj help
Where exactly is the purple glow around a needle as it is flying in the air? I want to change it to blue, and I thought it was a bitmap, but no matter what I change (needler/needles.bitm or the 3p one), it's still purple. I looked in [effe] and it wasnt there either. Can someone point me to where it is? I'm totally lost.

The glow is the contrail. You can edit the color. Lemme check and get a feel for what I remember doing here...
Okay, yeah. Go into entity, open the map, and go to cont. Find pistol/needler/projectile, select it, then select tools> meta editor and scroll all the way down.
Under that drop down box should be "Trail Width", "Lower Alpha" and other boxes with values in them. If you edit a lower value, edit the upper value as well.

The contrail is the tail that follows the projectile. Not the glow.Jam_Cliche wrote:The glow is the contrail. You can edit the color. Lemme check and get a feel for what I remember doing here...

The glow is actually the [MGS2] dependency. Just go to the [proj] tag and select the needler bullet and null out its [MGS2] indent.

In the needler's case, I assumed the glow was the contrail...
In personal experience the glow around it became green when I edited the contrail in that fashion. Editing the width of contrail also made the glow wider. So, unless he means some other emanating light coming from the needle, that's how I changed it, therefore that's what I told him.
