The bitmap for the blue plasma flash on banshee

Dave_Linger · Post by **Dave_Linger** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 12:42 pm

the one that appears with primary fire- I don't mean the actual projectile, I mean the blue flash - anyone know where this bitmap is?

i think it might be (under bitmaps) effects\particles\energy\bitmaps\plasma electric bolts. but the pic shows 'no preview available

well, the plasma flash is an effect, and you cant bmp change effects, as far as ive tried

Dave_Linger · Post by **Dave_Linger** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 3:39 pm

i dont really want to change it, I want to delete it, like make it not appear. All I would have to do is paste some blank meta over the meta for the plasma flash

it may be a shader, but I wouldn't think that it is. Ill look into it... tho I doubt I'll find anything. and yea, you could always use the all holy cryo glass...

"cryo glass" is a bitmap that is completely blank - we use it where we need an invisible object. for example, use this tut to remove the gunner seat from the warthog:

1. disable all the collision model parts of the hog gunner seat.

2. change the gunner seat name to something the MC can't drive, I.E. "noonegunner"

3. copy the meta of the bitmap "cryo glass", and paste it in the fields for "warthog chaingun" and "warthog chaingun multipurpose".

done! no more annoying gunner...

note: the above was the only example I could think of. so dont sue me for old knowledge.

Open HHT and null out all of its dependencies...but i told u on AIM already

HunterXI · Post by **HunterXI** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 4:41 pm

grr, why didn't I think of that? I was like the only one who actually knew what you could do with HHT when it came out, and now look at me...

Dave_Linger · Post by **Dave_Linger** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 5:10 pm

the problem here is that i dont know WHICH VALUE it is

it's pretty straightforward. dependancy swapping... for example, with it you can swap the actual bullet a gun fires instead of having to swap the projectile. just look at it.

and cryoglass is in every map... one bitmap file... but invisible tires? that doesn't sound so special...

Yeah can someone plz answer daves question because im stuck in the same mess. I made a duplication of the banshee and made it fire chainguns as its primary function. It looks cool except for the fact that there are really gay blue flashes every time i shoot its guns. Hey and what is cryo glass actually used for in every level? Is there a bitmap for cloaking?

What about plasma shader? Maybe? Just a n00b in this department.
