Color changig at Fenris class
Following: I want to add another cruiser baised on the Fenris class (GTD Amalthea) with a different color on the side (turquoise or yellow). I've already simply changed the color of the cruiser-01-0xx-glows, but that didn't work. Do I have to change the *.POF, too? Or the *.DDSs?

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
To change a ship texture (not just glowy parts) you need to change the base texture file(s), not just the ones with the -glow extension.)

Unless you edit a copy of the pof and make a new entry for that specific ship, ALL Fenris's will then look like that! (unless you're ok with that and don't care to use the regular ones at all no one will notice that.)

Simply open FRED tot eh mission you have your Fenris in and change teh name of the ship. Bingo you are done since you already altered the existing files... OR you copied the textures, changed the name by a letter and made a new ship entry and edited the pof to goto the altered textures so you can have BOTH old and new Fenris types in that mission...

Hope that helps you a little!

Yeah, I think, I got it. Thanx. :)

But: How can I change the *.POF. I've already tried simply with texteditor or Word, but that doesn't work.  :doubt:

PCS - Pof Constructor suite (by Kazaan, who should be working on 2.0 but apparently got a life/wife now hehe)  :P
(I dont use this unless I have to)

or

Modelview - load model hit edit change textures... ( use this with a 80-90% success rate when PCS fails).

~WARNING!~

Okay, this is a super A-1 n00b question:

Where can I get PCS, I've looked in a few places but never found it. :(

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
After I had given this up last December I've recently restarted working on that project again. But the cruiser01.pof is still confusing me. Where can I find "Fenris-HTL"? I've checked all the media_vps, but didn't find it.

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
in the media.vp's ...it's also called cruiser01.pof methinks

Open it with VPView, extract hte pof.  Open the pof with PCS, go to the texture tab and simply re-name all the textures (maps) with you own...save under a different name..you're done.

Errr...



I've extracted the following files:
cruiser01.pof
cruiser01-01a.dds
cruiser01-01a-shine.dds
cruiser01-01b.dds
cruiser01-01b-shine.dds
cruiser01-01c.dds
cruiser01-01c-shine.dds
cruiser01-02a.dds
cruiser01-02a-shine.dds
cruiser01-03a.dds
cruiser01-03a-shine.dds
cruiser01-04a.dds
cruiser01-05a-shine.dds
cruiser01-01a-glow.pcx
cruiser01-01b-glow.pcx
cruiser01-01c-glow.pcx
cruiser01-02a-glow.pcx
cruiser01-03a-glow.pcx
cruiser01-04a-glow.pcx

I've already changed the colour of the *-glow.pcx and copied them into my freespace2/data/maps folder for testing purpose. Shouldn't the colour of the Fenris be changed ingame now? It isn't. It's still red.

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
Glow only changes glowmaps.

Regular maps must also be changed (cruiser1-01a.dds, and so forth).

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
But the glowmaps are the only parts which have this red color I want to change. The other textures are just gray. I don't get it.

Hey, wow! Thank you very much, folks! :)


That's the colour I took first, but yellow is okay, too. You can send me the files to [email protected].

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
That won't work sorry. That's the map the old, non HTL Fenris uses. You want to find "Fenris-HTL-glow.dds" and change the colour on that. :)

I already said that I can't find any "Fenris-HTL" in the mediavps.

Re: Color changig at Fenris class
Well I know it's there because I made it, and I would have noticed if it was missing from any media VP release. ;)
Are you looking in the right place? It's in 3.6.8 - "mv_models.vp "->maps. It's _not_ in "mv_textures.vp" as you might expect.
