ArcCaster color

Post by darth_eddy »

Hello all, I was wondering if it is possible to change the Dark trooper's Arc caster electric beam color. It is white default. In the ODF there are 2 different entrys that caught my eye

Code: Select all

FlashColor              = "80 80 255 255"

FlashLightColor         = "220 220 255 175"
But I tried changing both of those to blue which would be

Code: Select all

0 0 255 255
but still i get a default white. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I don't think you can change it except through the effect itself.

you change the color of the .fx referenced in the weapon. Not the flash color.

Thats because the arc caster uses a genaric lightning effect.
Look through the arc caster Ord or Exp odf and look for an effect name.

Most of the common effects are in BF2Modtools/data/common/effects or dataMODID/common/effects (the folders are the same). Copy the com_sfx_lightning from there, paste it in your sides/sidename/effects folder, and modify it. You should be able to find where you need to change the color's number in that .fx file.
