Anyone else who has modded for a while here should know this feeling. The one where a simple, straightforward task refuses to work for some god forsaken reason, despite the fact that you did everything right, the documentation says it should work and there's not a single error message to be found. In this case it's thrusterglows.
I've got the species_defs.tbl and it says terran thrusters are thrusterglow01 and thrusterglow01a for the afterburner. Just for the heck of it, I exported those two files, recolored them to red and orange respectively, and decreased the color depth and saved them. Now, the actual thrusters themselves work beautifully, red is normal and orange is afterburn, however the glowpoints of the ship are making me want to pull my hair out. I've attached a .rar with some screenshots and as you can see, the red glow only kicks in later. You can see the default blue glow from the side, and the red one slowly fades in on top of it as you turn around, eventually mixing into a weird purple thruster. Obviously it has the right name and format because it's still showing up. However the afterburner doesn't do anything. It STAYS that ugly teal colour, although it changes between types as you rotate, different types of teal that is. Can anyone help or has anyone experienced a similar problem?
