Changing color of sticky grenades?

Post by Ac3 0f 5pade5 »

Is there any way to change the color of sticky grenades? My friend thinks they would look really cool as red or green :shock: . Thanks for any help ahead of time.

well you could change the color of the plasma grenade bitmap and its shaders i guess.extract the textures from the map i wanna hav colored plasma nades on an open it in dothalo next open the bitmaps section and find the plasma grenade bitmap.extract it an open it in photoshop and editit it till your hearts content the save it as a dds an inject it back to the map.and der u go,colored plasma grenades :shock: :D

go into model's and then find the plasma grenades
then in dependencys u can switch it from there, you make it look like a fusion core (using the same colors)
ect.
you can also do weapons the same way

How do I extract the bitmaps in dotHalo?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Anyone know what Bitmap I need to edit to make them green? The bitmaps are really weird looking, I can't tell which one I need to change.

if you edit the bitmaps it will make the plasma nade green not the fuzz around it (i have done it before you need to edit shaders

Go to the hlmt tag and click on an object. Then you need to go to the dependencies and it should list the shaders. Just swap them how you please.

Okay, I'm in Insolence, I went to [hlmt] objects\weapons\grenades\plasma_grenade\plasma_grenade, and I can't view any dependencies 0_0

lol, I just tried in DotHalo, I can't see the shaders in the [hlmt] tag in there either.. >_<

EDIT: I opened in ADI, I see the [shad] things in the [hlmt] tag, but it says "Nulled Out"... What do I do?

just mess around with the effects to get the one that you like best im thinking that the glow would be the detonation start and the detonation effects.

O ok. Click the effect in the dependencies box then go to the dropdown box which should now say the effects name and change it to waht you want and save the changes

if you want it to be like green or something then you should try to use the luminous glow of the teleporter or something.
