How do you change the shield color?
I know it says this (ShieldEffect = "droidekashield"), but I can't find the effect anywhere in the mod tools.
Code: Select all
[WeaponClass]
ClassLabel = "shield"
[Properties]
HUDTag = "hud_droideka_shield"
Label = "Shield"
RoundsPerClip = "1"
ReloadTime = "0.0"
MaxShield = 10000
AddShield = -200
AddShieldOff = 200
ShieldOffset = "0.0 1.0 0.125"
ShieldRadius = 1.25
FireSound = "cis_droideka_shield_on"
FireEmptySound = ""
FireLoopSound = ""
ReloadSound = ""
ChargeSound = ""
ChangeModeSound = ""
WeaponChangeSound = ""
//ShieldSound = "cis_droideka_shield"
//ShieldSound = "droid_fx7_hum"
ShieldOffSound = ""
ShieldEffect = "droidekashield"

The last time that I had to use the droidekashield.fx effect was in the PC folder in the CIS side. If the folder is here, change the color through the RGB lines.

Where should the pc folder be in the effects or the msh folder, also what it the RGB lines (sorry I am not good with abbreviations).
Don't you have to change the droidekashield.fx to a different name or it will use the stock one?

It's in the effect's pc folder. And RGB means Red Green Blue, that's the 3 colors that there's in the fx files.
And it will use the stock one, you don't have to rename it.

So would I replace the Color, SpecularColor, or both
(I want the shield to be green can anyone find the right numbers)
Code: Select all
Shield("DroidekaShield")
{
Type("droideka");
Texture("cis_inf_droideka_shield");
Color(96, 160, 192, 255);
SpecularColor(216, 240, 255);
ViewAngleFactor(1.5);
Radius(1.25);
Height(1.25);
TurnOnTime(0.15);
TurnOffTime(0.15);
ScrollRate(1.0);
}

Uuuuh the color section has 4 numbers, so idk how to change the color, you should ask a good modder for that. But the specular color is in RBG, so search on Google RGB colors and the green will have 3 numbers, so replace the 3 specular color numbers by the green numbers
EDIT : Ups i think i did a mistake I don't remember if it's RGB or RBG but we don't care

Change the texture in photoshop to whatever colour you want.

I don't think that you can change the color though the tga file, I tried with some other effects and it don't work.

Changes in any .tga file
must show ingame if you get it properly.
Some effects like shield impact have a .tga file associated with it, but that file not have colors, only a white. Then you need edit the colors (and his variations) in the particle editor.

So I just need to edit the tga file (cis_inf_droideka_shield.tga)
Also if the assets are in the effects/pc folder will it use my custom files or the stock shield, that is my problem every time I edit the stock shield files to something else no shield appeares in game it's gone.
