AlBundy Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I was wondering if someone could help me change the color of my custom made blaster? It was a Zabrak blaster pistol but I changed the name and description, and made it upgradeable. I wanted to make it a light purple color to match my custom armor...Ive also been searching threw some threads about planting items ingame, like puting my custom made items in the footlocker on the endor spire, but I dont understand how its done, mainly the scripting part confuse me and I was wondering if anyone could help me with this? Thanks alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot. To change the color of the blaster you will need to make a new texture for the weapon. Tutorials can be found in the stickies To apply the new texture to the weapon, you'll most likely need to hex edit the model in order to make it work. There are basic instructions on how to do this in my Lightsaber tutorial. Also, I created a "non-script placeable" tutorial that can be found in this forum. All of these resources will be able to address your issues. I hope this helps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Originally posted by AlBundy It worked! my items are now in the box on the endor spire! But is there a way to delete the items that were already in the box before I added my items? It didnt seem to overwrite them, and will i need paint shop to add the new color to my blaster? Because I dont have MSpaint ): Well, since there aren't any unique placeables on the Endar Spire, I suspect that you used a shared placeable and that you are going to quickly begin running into the problems that I warned about in the tutorial. Your dime though...have fun As for the items themselves, I believe that the contents of that footlocker are determined by starting class and therefore controlled by a script. If that is the case, then you might not have any luck deleting other items. Regarding textures, I would recommend either Paintshop Pro or Photoshop. MS Paint is not going to be sophisticated enough for what you want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodakrattler Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 You can use MSpaint, but you will have to convert the file from tga and back again. PhotoShop is a lot easier and you can do a lot more with it that you can't do with MSpaint, ie: you won't have to convert the tga file since photoshop can access them, and you can select a certain area and adjust the color, saturation and light or darkness of the texture. All in all it's better to try to get a version of photoshop, I would suggest 6.0 or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBundy Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 I dont know if I have the brainpower or skill to color this blaster, I read your tutoriol for the lightsabre creation and I hardly understood it, so i guess if one of you guys feels like it I can send you it via e-mail and maybe you can color it for me :/ thanks for all your help.

BTW, what's the name of the utp file for the first footlocker on the Endar Spire? (The one with yuor clothing and starting equipment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBundy Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 The name of the footlocker on the endor spire is footlker001.utp, witch also happens to be the same name for the footlocker in your hideout on Taris. So I made 2 seperate files so I can switch them around to have 2 seperate sets of items apear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if you're dead set on using that footlocker, you can do it much easier with one line of script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
