Modder question textures Weapon, Ship, Background.

Post by S1Genocide »

How do you change weapon color or textures? I am a modder I only need a step/push in the right direction.

:?:

Whenever I change a texture it stays the same. Am I missing a txt file or xml file I have to edit somewhere too?

Depending on what you already did... /textures/weapons for example contains the image files you need for changing gun fire appearance. Ship textures are within their /units/shipname directories.

Be aware to respect the resolution or you might get weird outcomes.

So you only changed the png file. Did you create a bolt file on your own, or did you use the stock PR plasma.png?

Also, did you try buying a new gun after you did your changes? Sometimes, your savegame stores informations about your old settings, even if you changed basic stats.

I made my own bright green plasma bolt but you guys switched the png file on me to ion so no matter what I changed it to it wouldn't change to green.

But that was the only problem so far I had modding.
