I also don't think you can do transparent, I tried playing with alpha before on a texture map. It doesn't work very well.


A Pro-Tip?

Btw the Pax glow map has been resized due to the size limits

If you can post just different color mods for the paxes (IE red, darker blue, purple etc.) for serenity and such that look good maybe they'll be put in. Paxes sorely need more color variety

For some reason when I try to change the Christmasicus glow, it stays blue and has the paximinus glow. Anyone know why?

You probably need to edit the .xml code, idk how to do that though. Also which file do you change, I can't even figure out which one is the pax glow. XP

Actually.. it is linked to the paximinus glow.. and the xml doesn't even show how D:

Oh by the way, the paximinus glow is PaxianGlowCyan and the Christmasicus glow is PaxianGlowGreen (supposed to be anyway)

We can't manipulate glow maps dynamically. In Client 1 we used the same image for all the Paxian ships (scaled, of course) and applied a glowcolour on it (which we set in the hull balance sheet to be to exported to the XML). But the glowcolour tag doesn't work because of new code in the client. All the Pax ships still have the same ship visage index (the number we used after SpaceShip*.png in C1, and the number listed in ships.xml). We can't even really hack it in like we could in C1, unless the glow was just static (no fading, Pax Xmas would need thinking about). Bleh, maybe I can bug one of the programmers to fix it.

Important to get colors first, fading way off in second.

Well.. did this patch change any linkage between the paximinus, christmasicus, serenity, and the selenilogica?

Found out how to make transparent ship textures.
But the texture has to be a png file

How do i add the tractor rings? :mrgreen:

Author:  Blue Dwarf [ Sat Apr 14, 2012 8:34 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Random Modded textures

They're most likely generated by the code. IIRC, a tractor is a SOB (space object) type just like a plasma (projectile) or laser. So it'd be coded into the tractor sob, not something that is particularly easy to get at, or use. I would have had a better idea in C1. But in C2, no idea.
