SC2Mapster

Hello, I am trying to make a Tal'darim styled map and now I'm working on the units data. I am added the WoL version of the "Planet Cracker" ability to the SOA Mothership, but when I activate it it is blue. So I went to the actor events and added a Set Tint Color event to red. It didn't turn out as good as I thought though... Here's a screenshot: You can see the blue light in the area near the mothership, also without the tint the ability won't let you see the terrain like this: So is there a possible way of only changing the blue color to red but keep the white + the particles?

Here is the map:

The unit in question: SOA Mothership v4. Actor: Mothership Aiur 06 Planet Cracker Beam.

get to the model, find the texture that is being used, export it, open it with gimp, recolour all blue parts to red, import it again, now either overwrite the original file or do a texture swap.

Most textures can be easily swapped to one of their rainbow coloured counterparts. Built in lighting though can only be changed by the Set Tint Color (or in some rare cases Set Team Color) method like you tried. I advise a combination of both methods in those cases.

Tried both Set Tint Color and Set Team Color and neither changed the lighting... What do you mean rainbow colored counterparts? I'm new to the data editor...

Thanks a lot! Which of these methods should I use to import the textures? http:www.galaxywiki.net/Custom_Unit_Textures Also as far as I know, .m3 files are models and .dds files are uncompressed images - textures. So should I import the textures only or the model as well? I'm not entirely sure how .m3 files work but do they contain the textures in Textures/ folder?

Quote from herdal8: Go

Import the dds files to "Assets/Textures/" and use the. M3 model fill it has all of the changes you need and it requires the provided textures to work. The. M3 has also has changes that the data editor couldn't do

So I imported the model like you said and it worked... However I messed up a little on the first try and I'm trying to remove the old textures:

How do I remove the "Textures" folder that is not inside the "Assets" folder?

Quote from Alevice: Go

I think if you remove all the files in that folder, the folder itself will dissapear

If that doesnt work, you can save your map as sc2components, which will save it as an unpacked folder, and then you go there and remove the folder itself.

Yeah, it got automatically removed... Thanks a lot for the model & textures @herdal8!
