i know that illumination maps are bitmaps with a white alpha but is there any way to make something glow something other than white? also is there a way to make a flaming bipd?

yes you can make it glow different colors if the latest shader plugin has the values labled, ill have to check that in a bit, all you have to do is set it to something other than white. The color values are treated like light values so red green and blue to the max get white, red and green get yellow, blue and green get cyan, etc.

And yes you can make flaming bipds.

how would you trigger the fires to start if they get hit with napalm?

only thing i can think of would be to research the hlmt and find a way to filter out a type of damage to trigger an effect cause if i remember right the shield out effect goes over several limbs.

machinima? or just cause you think flaming people would look cool? As for attatching stuff look through the tutorials, there is a tut about adding stuff to the spartan. Just do that with the fire scen from enlongation and put it on lots of limbs. I have an idea to test later that might make it easier.
