Title: Making the Lucifer Not...BLINK
Post by: Gregster2k on March 06, 2005, 07:27:07 pm

As much as I like animated glowmaps sometimes there is a map that just makes a ship look like UGH. In the past, I have solved this problem by simply deleting the map.

However, in this case I find that the SSD Lucifer's glowmap is perfect except for three little things. Namely, the three triangular triple-circles are blinking.

I have checked the file in adveffects.vp myself and unfortunately for me, the blinking triple-circle triangles are locked into one huge Lucifer animated glowmap and I don't have the resources to edit these things myself much less figure out how to fix it.

I don't want to delete the maps outright because the rest of these maps is fine besides the animated Shivan triangle-circles I can't stand. All i ask for is a lucifer glowmap where all its lods are animated as usual with one exception: the triple-circle triangle parts ARENT animated.

Please????? :confused:

This should be a PM straight to Lightspeed.  It's entirely his doing.

I like the strobing eyes, personally.
