....(topic title says it all)
How do I set up a vibroblade ODF? I want it to act like a lightsaber that Luke uses.
I tried the last post's odf in the vibroblade release topic but that made the unit crash and the sword didn't appear in the soilder's hand.
Gimme help pleasey?

what vibroblade are you talking about?

Vyse's one that he released.

just tak a stock lightsaberodf and enter anything in the lightsabercolor and the lightsabertexture entrys
(instead of "bluelightsabre" "none" or something like this)

so it should look like this right please help i really need a vibroblade in my map

now just change the lightsaber mesh to the vibroblades

which is? I think it may be vsword.msh but not sure
Or does it need to be teh msh file?

you should be able to find the vibroswords mesh name out yourself,
just enter it in the geometryname line instead of the all_weap_inf_lightsabre

mesh name or msh name?
There's 3 tgas, vsword, sword and cham. O.o

whats the difference between mesh and msh name?

there's a e in mesh and not in msh?
I put this as the odf - the odf name is all_weap_inf_vibroblade.odf btw. Munged, and didn't work.

That's because "none" is an invalid entry. Try "clear" instead.

for the trail colour? Or texture? Or both?

Both.

okeydokey thanks, testing now

are you shure the entry matters?

It doesn't matter at all, because it's just a texture name. You can set it to "clear" or "none" or "mavsthebest" or "fortunecookie" and it won't matter because none of those are texture names that you have in your mesh folder (if you do, that's pretty strange).

You'll need to elaborate on "didn't work" and tell us what your log says. If I had to guess I'd say you've not got the right name for the mesh in there, but who really knows without anything to go on?

well the engineer is acting as if the vibroblade is a gun and the vibroblade is not appearing ingame. When the engineer reloads the invisible gun it makes the game crash.
?

do you have the appropriate combo in your odf folder and the animation in your munged folder?

erm well i just added this unit to the all side so I guess not? I don't know though
