Two different colored shields [Solved]

[LitFam]

Hello modding community,

Does anyone know how to have two different colored shields in a map, the first colored shield I am using the stock one in the PC folder in effects, however, I made and renamed the .fx file. I can not get the second shield working every time I edit the fx, .tga, .msh file relating to the new shield FX, the shield does not appear in the game, but it works.

You have to create another .fx file that uses another .tga (I know that you said that you did it but that's how we do it).

Any errors ? Can you send the code in your .fx file ? Thanks ! (and btw check if your effect is named right in your weapon .odf file)

I did create another .fx file, also I am using you auto turret shield tutorial it is very useful!

Code: Select all

Shield("DroidekaShield")
{
	Type("droideka");
	Texture("dis_inf_droideka_shield");
	Color(96, 160, 192, 255);
	SpecularColor(216, 240, 255);
	ViewAngleFactor(1.5);
	Radius(1.25);
	Height(1.25);
	TurnOnTime(0.15);
	TurnOffTime(0.15);
	ScrollRate(1.0);
}

maybe replace "dis_inf_droideka_shield" by "cis_inf_putsomethinghere"

And can you post the odf for the shield (the weapon odf, in sides/cis/odf) please ? Thanks

I posted the assets

Code: Select all

[WeaponClass]
ClassLabel          = "shield"

[Properties]
Label               = "Shield"

RoundsPerClip       = "1"
ReloadTime          = "0.0"

MaxShield           = 8000
AddShield           = 0
AddShieldOff        = 1250

ShieldOffset        = "0.0 1.0 0.125"
ShieldRadius        = 1.25

FireSound           = "cis_droideka_shield_on"
FireEmptySound      = ""
FireLoopSound       = ""
ReloadSound         = ""
ChargeSound         = ""
ChangeModeSound     = ""
WeaponChangeSound   = ""
//ShieldSound           = "cis_droideka_shield"
//ShieldSound         = "droid_fx7_hum"
ShieldOffSound      = ""

ShieldEffect        = "rroidekashield"

I just tried this

maybe replace "dis_inf_droideka_shield" by "cis_inf_putsomethinghere"

it did not work.

I did not include the auto turret texture file or .msh because it's for my mod (TCW Death Watch Side Mod) and I don't want to public to have my edited textures.

Alright don't worry I don't need these files

If you fix this or anyone else I will credit you for my mod, also please provide a new link of the updated assets when corrected.

(Don't forget since I did not provide the auto turret .msh or .tga file you must use the stock one in order to test the fixes in the game.)

I tried and nothing works... But how is it possible to have the shield working without the effect ??

I solved it myself with some poking around.

I don't remember mate (this topic is this a week old). The proof that I did it is in my mod.
