The FX from the spear throw has to do with... mmm... something... I wrote a small part about it in my weapons tutorial

On page 5 i think it says how to change the color

hmmm very interesting,it worked just perfect. Mate you didn´t answer my other question after editing a model how do we put in game,don´t tell me that i have to do mod command
so for me to discover the special fx corresponding to each power hero i should check the Goodfactionsubobjects.ini right?this is very cool thing to do
another thing the faramir arrowtrail ony uses blue color,what if wanna add another color just like the thorn of vengeance of thranduil??

You make a new FX (if you have ever played the RC Mod, you should look at Ridder Groen's special arrow thing, it has 2 colors i believe)

EDIT...
Here it is

thanks mate it worked perfectly
here take a look



maybe now you can answer my other question mate,i edited the lorienwarrior model so it have green forged blades so how do i put him in game?

[Ridder Geel]

You have to make an asset.dat...
I believe there is a tutorial on that...
http://www.the3rdage.net/item-326
I think if you do not use the -mod command that you should append to existing asset.dat but im not sure about that

oh men...that will be a problem,i tried to use asset build and pink stuff appear,so i will have to use -mod command then

[Ridder Geel]

There is a tutorial on that too so you should be able to do it... I understood the tutorial on that the first time I read it

i did it ehehe it is not so hard after all


now when i replace a model with a new forged blades color i don´t have to do anything with the asset should i??because i just my normal asset and it worked just fine

i got a question about this,i have edit the 4 models of the corsairs so their forged blades get red when upgraded but somehow they get one blade red and other blue lol how can i fix this??i want to have red forged blades like bfme2
so i looked at this and this are their models

;;================ MODELS =================================================================DefaultModelConditionStateModel = MUCorsar_SKNSkeleton = MUCorsar_SKLModel = MUCorsar2_SKN ExtraMesh:YesModel = MUCorsai3_SKN ExtraMesh:YesModel = MUCorsar4_SKN ExtraMesh:YesModel = MUCorsar_SKN ExtraMesh:YesWeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY B_HANDRWeaponLaunchBone = TERTIARY B_HANDREndModelConditionState = USER_4 ; This state is used in cinematics to get the old style armorModel = GUNumnrean_SKN Skeleton = MUCorsar_SKLEnd

i saw that they use numenormen also but they don´t have any color in the emissive wich is 0
EDIT:nevermind i fixed it
there was this code blocking the blades to be red

Behavior = SubObjectsUpgrade ForgedBlade_UpgradeTriggeredBy = Upgrade_MordorForgedBlades Upgrade_WildForgedBladesShowSubObjects = Forged_Blade Forged_Blade01UpgradeTexture = EXLnzFlarRed2.tga 0 EXLnzFlarBlue.tgaCustomAnimAndDuration = AnimState:WEAPONSET_PLAYER_UPGRADE AnimTime:0End

just removing this part UpgradeTexture = EXLnzFlarRed2.tga 0 EXLnzFlarBlue.tga and now looks very cool

Ah, Ok well the Asset.dat making is for if you where to make an entirely new texture or model or such

i managed to change the color of a forged blade to purple lol do you know what is the value of orange in the RBG??

[Ridder Geel]

R: 255 G:128 B:0
You should be able to figure this out yourself with mspaint

but mate in the hex thing you can only insert values to 99 no more than that

[Ridder Geel]

Then you hex those values!
You are not being very smart at the moment are you
255 -> FF
128 -> 80
000 -> 00
