Covie Turret contrail/hover glow question...

Knight · Post by **Knight** » Fri May 14, 2004 4:59 am

I want to change the color of the gun turret hovering. Normally it's blue, but I want to make it gray. I tried turning the contrail grayscale, making it a texture, and reinserting it, but it still glows blue. Now, I thought it might make the trail on the projectiles become gray, but they're still blue. Does the contrail do absolutely nothing? And how can I change the blue glow of the hover turret to gray?

the contrail is the long white line behind the sniper bullet. like for the rocket launcher it would be the smoke and fire.
kapish?

and sorry i dunno how to change the blue

i tried. i got the contrail to be red, but the other flashes are actual textures/sprites that you would have to run through photoshop and remake it as a .bitmap.

Ooo!! Ooo!! Which ones!!

If anyone knows of a tutorial, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm almost done with the base skin right now, and then the main gun is basically the same thing, so this is the last thing I need to complete my skin! Help me plzzzz!!

Come on, I know someone out there has to know how to do this...

I'm almost done with the turret. I'll finish up the weapon part of it after work today and post some pics, then. Around 7:00 or so. If I get a response, I'll also change the hover glow... but please... someone?

How could I make it so the gunner is invisible in it, too?

Thanks for how to make the guy invisible.

Looks mad cool, I've tried it already.

I am still looking for a way to make the blue glow gray, though.
