Sins Forums
well my thread in the modding forum randomly went dead, and stopped getting replies...and I'm out of ideas. So...anyone out there mind just...sending me the image for VL Titan's Alpha channel in the .cl file? I can't seem to get it on my computer for whatever reason, regardless of what I do.
Thanks.
Default Vasari Loyalist cl texture? Or do you want an image of what I see in photoshop?
I honestly don't think any titans other than Ankylon and Ragnarov have team colours in game (i.e. there is no alpha channel on non TEC titans). I don't know for sure though but I don't believe the others have any team colours in game.
Well I never had any issues with making skins for this titan in the past...but now, there's like...nothing I can do. :/
I think you are correct on this, as a mod was made to add team colors to the non-TEC titans....
You can add an alpha channel. Just change it from and RGB to an RGBA image and put your team colours where you want them.
Well if they don't have any team colors to begin with, should I just make the channel and keep it black then?
My guess is that's what happens by default if there is no alpha channel but the all black alpha channel would work.
Only the CL texture has the team color.
I think you have it inverted here. A ship with no team color should have it's CL texture be entirely transparent. If you can see the VL titan's texture right away when opening it up you have it reversed.
1. Not sure what I did, is there a way to fix it?
2. Or should I just go with making a black Alpha or whatever?
3. Is your PM system working, tried to PM you a couple of days ago, lol.
1. See 2
2. An all black alpha channel will result in the default effect of no team colours. By default, when you save the file it may apply a fully opaque alpha channel, resulting in a model that is entirely team colour. If that's the case then you'll need to apply an all black alpha channel because the default save technique is ineffective.
Speaking of VL titan, when you are already modding its looks:
could you make its diffuse color texture blackish instead of greenish, like the rest of the Vasari capital ships and like it looked on this concept art here:
Would love to see, how it looks this way.
The other thing, is the bottom side of the titan the same pixel-size as its top-view side? I mean, the part of the texture file dedicated to thesre respective views, are they the same size, or is the bottom part smaller?
TBF, i was kinda disappointed by the lack of "windows" and detail in general on the bottom - is there a way to improve this?
....Something tells me that this thing is supposed to have a team color or something...lol.
Ah well, thanks for helping guys...
