Talmor Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I downloaded the Jedi vs Sith Armor Pack. I noticed that the helmet has a nice blue glow on it and i was wondering how i might be able to do that on the armor. I have tried to use photoshop but when i am done it comes out black.

Nodakrattler Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 This can be done by telling the game to use "CM_Bright" for the shader instead of "CM_Baremetal", which is what most armours use. To do this open notepad and type in "envmaptexture CM_Bright"(without quotes), then save the file as the same name and number as the armour and as a ".txi". Finaly make sure you have the spots on the alpha channel for your texture darkened to the level you want the areas to glow. The darker the alpha channel the brighter your armour will shine. Please note that doing this will remove the standard shine of the metal. BTW Since you are asking you editing help and not a new mod you should have put this thread in the main area of Holowan.

MdKnightR Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Please note that doing this will remove the standard shine of the metal. There has got to be a workaround for this. Oldflash was able to put both the Baremetal and the Bright textures on my Heart of the Force Saber hilts. Looks kickin' too. Has anyone seen Oldflash around lately? I don't think I have seen him post anything in quite a while. He would be the one to ask about the solution to this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have seen him post anything in quite a while. He would be the one to ask about the solution to this issue. I would assume that is because he built an new model and was able to tell the model to applie 2 shaders, and since we cannot make new body models yet this would not be possible with armours.

Hmmm... CM_bremetal, CM_bright... all the same: texture files and on every texture you can set a .txi file (there is one for cm_baremetal: "cube=1"). Try thisone: put "envmaptexture CM_Bright" in cm_baremetal.txi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talmor Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 The Alpha channel was the trick....I think i over did it because it looks like "TRON" armor now. Wish somebody would make a mod so I could have a remote like that one npc has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talmor Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 No its not possible. I just got done reading the tutorial about puppets.. MdKnightR, I deleted it but I am making it again...which leads me to another question. In editing that armor I would have to go into the game to see if i had it right, is there a program out there that raps the flat picture around? It makes my head hurt trying to picture that in 3D in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProphet Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Wait, so you use bothe CM_Baremetal and CM_Bright, how does the alpha know which one it is effecting? Im trying to add glow to my Korderon Trooper helmet. -Gsccc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im trying to add glow to my Korderon Trooper helmet. -Gsccc Alpha channel from texture will set first envmap (ie: cm_baremetal for shiny) and on this one you can set one alpha to control second envmap. However second envmap will affect only first envmap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
