SithRevan Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey, I just got an idea about boa-dur's repulser arm. There is no tga or special settings in 2da's for it so where would you be able to change the color of it? I think I may have found that answer (this might have been though of already but it's worth a shot), could it work like a lightsaber? Maybe you could change it's color by hex editing it, I am not sure where to start or how to do it but I think it could most likely be done like that. So I just thought I would bring that up and see if anybody has an idea about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think its an effect. Don't hold me to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Well I looked through all of the animations in the animations.2da and I looked as throughly as I could through everything else, so that is about the best answer for it as I can come up with. Also where the repulser feild is supposed to be on the model in gmax there was a dummy just like a lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think somebody said that the reason that Bao-Dur cannot use robes, because if the arm animation were there aswel, the robe couldn't flow (i.e. it'd be like revan's cape). Again, don't hold me to that XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey, I just got an idea about boa-dur's repulser arm. There is no tga or special settings in 2da's for it so where would you be able to change the color of it? The energy beam of Bao-Dur's arm is created with a particle emitter in his model (which MdlOps wasn't capable of exporting or importing last time I checked). I believe fx_baodur.tpc contains the texture for the energy particles of his arm, while P_BaoDur_Arm.tpc has the texture for the "lens" thing on the arm itself the beam seems to come from. If you change those two textures you can change the color of the beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimsyn Kane Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think I'll give that a try right now, I'd love to outfit my darkside Bao-Dur with a red arm. If I get it to work I'll update my Bao-Dur's Badass Outfit mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks stoffe I was able to change bao-dur's arm to a lot of fun different colors! P.S.: I also made a mod out of it here if anybody wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp3rMental Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Just wondering, but is a black repulser arm possible? Just thought it would be cool to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 No actually I tried that and it did not work. If you want to try it though you have my permission as that mod is an open mod for anybody to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimsyn Kane Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Mine's uploaded but SithRevan beat me to it! Thanks Stoffe for the info and thanks Sithrevan for bringing it up in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegard Aune Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks stoffe I was able to change bao-dur's arm to a lot of fun different colors! P.S.: I also made a mod out of it here if anybody wants it. Cool. I don't normally care much for reskins, but the red arm looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah, great job Krimsyn I really like the way it looks now with the red repulser arm! Cool. I don't normally care much for reskins, but the red arm looks great. Thanks vegard I really apprieciate the comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimsyn Kane Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thank you. By the way, Sithrevan, I dont know if yours does this too but I noticed on mine it had an interesting side effect. In the picture above from my previous post you can see that it glows pretty much like a red saber however when the arm is in front of his dark clothes it takes on a more fiery look that I hadn't noticed before: Personally I think it looks pretty cool. I wonder if this is an accident I stumbled upon while messing around with the color or just something the repulser glow effect does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yes I had the same thing happen. I think it makes the arm look pretty cool too, also in green or dark blue that effect looks really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Just wondering, but is a black repulser arm possible? Just thought it would be cool to look at. I'll see if I can't try to play with this. By using a dark purple color in a light halo of color surrounded by black I might be able to give it a blacklight effect. Give me a little bit as I'm still restoring my PC to active duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHL Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 So I have been messing around with this for awhile and cant seem to figure this out. Would it be possible to modify some files and make it so Bao-Dur's arm changes colors upon alignment shift? If so how could I go about doing this as there are no 2da's that mention his arm.
