Sword Designing Question

[Senbou]

Ive been making my own sword models for a while now and id like to give them a more in depth look, one problem i have is the sword trail, i have one sword in particular that would look better if it had a black trail with a small amount of red highlight but i cant seem to get a dark color for the trail, it seems to me that the trail is auto set to perform a screen blending affect, making black invisable

 

is there a .shader command that could get me a black trail? and if so is it possible to set this sword in particualr to be the only one to use it?

 

heres what the sword looks like ingame:

 

i found that setting the .sab file to have no sabe blade drawn and not having the trailstyle on at all causes it to have a similar trail to a lightsaber, but i dont want that

got a good shader finnaly

 

 

now im attempting to make a mod that does what JA+ does, add more trail styles to choose from

 

so can anybody direct me to a tutorial on how to modify the saber menu, im looking at some of the files now and i dont get at all what they mean XD

Nice trail! I don't think it is possible to make multiple trails for SP. For MP you need to know how to code in addition to arranging the menus.

 

Good luck and great work so far!

well if tis not possible to make sword trails persay, then maybe add the trail images as saber trails instead, JA+ did somtin like that already, so i think its doable

 

just dont know how XD

I think you're on the right path. Just make it a saber trail and add it to the menu. Sorry I can't help you further since I'm not a coder. You may be able to replace an existing saber trail in JA+ with yours. That would let you use it a little easier I think.
