ok I have two short questions...

1)How do i increase cloud cover on a map?

2)How would i go about adding a glowing charge from another weap(like plasma pistol), i know how to make it charge but theres no visual way to see if youre charging or not

Thankz =]

1) Edit the could mask bitmap. Be careful, though, since some cloud mask models have holes in (such as sky\clear afternoon).
2) I don't know. You may have to use CE, or it could be something really simple, like a dependency swap.

for the second one i would say that you duplicate the projectile tag. then mod the projective for whatever gun you want to have the glow.

firing effect is unrelated to the projectile. I'm going to go ahead and say CE.

no, what i should have said is that you duplicate the projectile and the light effect. so that you can then alter the light and the projectile.

Well, when I made the cloud cover bitmap (EDIT:ALPHA) all white, only half the map was covered in clouds =( is there any way I can make the whole map covered in clouds? I skinned the clouds to look stormylike and pmied rain in but I need cloud cover over the whole map

o yeah and for the glow thing I found this in the plasma pistol tag in HHT:



im trying to find a way to add it to the fuel rod cannon atm, maybe there is a way without CE?

I might be able to help you some more when i get HMT running on my mac.

If you're going to ask for help, at least try and read people's suggestions.

oh, i thought you meant that there would be small holes in the clouds, my bad =P
