Hi there,

 

just a short question about changing particle colors through map.ini

 

is it possible to make the special ability "WordOfPower" black?

cause normally black should be R:0 G:0 B:0 0 but if you change it to that it seems invisible ingame ...

by the way i have no idea what the fourt zero/number stands for.

 

here is my code: 

 

FXParticleSystem GandalfBlastFinalLight

  System

    Priority = ALWAYS_RENDER

    ParticleName = EXexplo01.tga

    Lifetime = 10 10

    SystemLifetime = 5

    SortLevel = 1

    Size = 10 10

    BurstCount = 2 2

  End

  Color = DefaultColor

    Color1 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0      ; <---- i think this should be edited

    Color2 = R:0 G:0 B:0 10

  End

  Update = DefaultUpdate

    SizeRate = 80 160

    SizeRateDamping = 0.8 0.7

    AngleZ = -1 1

    AngularDamping = 1 1

    AngularDampingXY = 1 1

  End

  Physics = DefaultPhysics

    Gravity = 1

    VelocityDamping = 1 1

  End

  EmissionVelocity = OutwardEmissionVelocity

    Speed = 1 1

  End

  EmissionVolume = PointEmissionVolume

  End

  Draw = DefaultDraw

  End

End

FXParticleSystem GandalfBlastFinalShockWave

  System

    Priority = ALWAYS_RENDER

    ParticleName = EXRing01.tga

    Lifetime = 50 50

    SystemLifetime = 50

    SortLevel = 1

    Size = 1 1

    BurstCount = 1 1

    IsGroundAligned = Yes

  End

  Color = DefaultColor

    Color1 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0        ; <---- and this

    Color2 = R:0 G:0 B:0 40

    ColorScale = -40 40

  End

  Update = DefaultUpdate

    SizeRate = 25 55

    SizeRateDamping = 0.9 0.95

    AngleZ = -1 1

    AngularDamping = 1 1

    AngularDampingXY = 1 1

  End

  Physics = DefaultPhysics

    VelocityDamping = 0.8 0.8

  End

  EmissionVelocity = OutwardEmissionVelocity

  End

  EmissionVolume = PointEmissionVolume

    IsHollow = Yes

  End

  Draw = DefaultDraw

  End

End

 

thanks in advance!

If an fx has its "shader" tag set to "additive" (Shader = ADDITIVE), black is counted as transparency so you'll probably want to make a new fxparticlesystem and change that to ALPHA. Then add the alpha values (alpha = defaultalpha, alpha1, alpha2) to make the effect visible. The number after the rgb value would be transparency.

 

I haven't used particle systems that much so somebody else would probably be better at explaining this.

it is still a little bit bugged or stranged looking, because you see everywhere black squares instead of one "Word of Power Wave" but i think now i will get this done!

 

thank you a lot.

I'm probably missing something then. Someone else might be able to fill me in here.
