explosiontextures

[PicassoCT]

I use knorkes standard plasma cannon, i modified it, and altered the texture of every explosion in bitmaps, and still it has this standard grounflash.

How to alter this?

The power of the eyecandy compells you. Do it f.a.q. gods!



srsly, a mod grabs the explosions of the weaponimpact out of the bitmapfolder in the mod.sdd. But i altered every freaking bitmap in it (some have smileys now) - and still, there is no change.

do change groundflash use ceg. gundam's are PD steal away.

You know that your mod relies/depends on bitmaps.sdz?

[PicassoCT]

why? what is that good for? that means i got to copy my own version of this thing into every spring ?


PS: modified it- now looks like i want..

[jK]

?
you shouldn't modify bitmaps.sdz! it is part of the base content!

it's just that all games & maps depend on those and so it is part of VFS.
and so spring will textures from there when they aren't overriden by the map/game containers.

I can write a installer and replace those? Just trollin...


Srsly.. if i put my modified versions into the mods /bitmap folder it will load them instead?

i think so, yes, as engine supplied content in the VFS is overriden by map or game supplied content using the same path. but you should wait for a definitive answer from jk, cause you know.. playin with assplosives is dangerus, except you know wat iur doin.

Yes, this is what gundam does already.

I know what im doing, otherwise i wouldnt be standin here, a black, scotish cyclops.

Nah, im good, restored the old spring-explos. Copied some into my bitmaps folder and it works.

Next step: Snipers
sniper will be a laser (doing zero damage) and a instant damage weapon. Should be cheasy.

and Dronelike Weapons, now that is were the fun starts. I have two models, one is the drone charged (glowing blue), the other discharged, now once the rocket is fired upon a target, it homes in, and the moment it hits the target it sleeps for around 10 and fires the returndrone then.

yea, dont really know what dependencies/default files are needed for a game. So that might not be perfect, see also

I found the default effects to be quite limited anyway, ie you can edit the smoke texture for missiles projectiles with smoketrail=true, but can not change their size and all that.
