i had a idea. you know that contrail that the lifepods use when they are going threw the atmosphere on the second level in campaign.

that may solve your problem just PMI it into your map and swap it with the banshee contrail

hold on ill get a picture -- ill edit in a minute

--edit---

never mind thats a particle system...

Qhat do you need it for?

...just google it.

nvm the gimp thing.

ok... well. i figuredout how too do it. just save the .dds of the banshee contrail bitmap then edit it and put a flame textrue on it and finally save it and inject the flames over the original banshee contrail. this is the last idea i have so hopefully it works

ummm, u said that already, lol, well every time i save the dds, i just get a white box wen i open it. so im ns wats wrong with it.

sorry for a bump and a double post, but every time i extract those dds textures i get jut a like 64x64 white box, and a 32x32 white box. so wat do i do? becuase wenever i extract other texture i can see them just fine.

all that the banshee contrail is is just a white box so i dont think this method will work

oh ok, well how come wen i look at it theres a grayish streak through it in HMT?

inferno · Post by **inferno** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 5:22 pm

this is impossible.

ive tryed everything i can think of!

i guess this just isnt possible so you might as well give up.

maybe you could do it in HEK if you wanted. actully it would be quite easy in HEK

lol try that.
