I searched through tutorials and found nothing, so i thought id ask.

Im trying to change the contrail to like a yellowy glow, i tried to change the bitmap but nothing changed, help?

I cant use entity for this map BTW, some coding crap hates me. I tried contrail editor as well, nothing.

well, if you can't use entity or the contrail editor app, then i dont think can do it. Unless, in DotHalo, under the Cont. tag you might be able to change it.

Try swapping the MGS2 dependancy in the [proj] tag. That should do the trick. ;)

  • Duplicate the sniper contrail.
  • Go into the needler_shard projectile
  • Swap the cont reference to the duplicated contrail.
  • Use my contrail editor to modify it to how you want in to look.

The needle itself is made up of 3 differnt things...
The model, the MGS2 and the Contrail...
If you swap the MGS2 you will change the main pink part of to blue green or whatever...
Swapping the contrail will change the bit, well, trailing the projectile...
The model is hardly ever visible, but its this tiny pink stick. Swapping that shder is probably the best way of doing it instead of changning the model.

Anyway, you're going to have to change the contrail colour and the model shader as there is no yellow MGS2...You're going to have to null the MGS2 out... (since MGS2 dont have colour values...The crazy things...)
