Additive is used for effects and particles, it makes a texture that is say an Orange halo on a black background appear as an orange halo, eliminating the black background and just leaving the orange sphere or whatever. There was a war3 model Nebula that was a simple box and the box having a very realistic Nebula texture. Since war3 allowed to make it additive the effect was very good - the black background of the Nebula texture disappears and the dark colors also become partially transparent - an effect that makes the Nebula texture mix with the background (say starry space) without having the look of an image just placed on a starry skybox.
Im trying to do the same here, using KaeoCube model streched X Y Z to look like a plane. I set with Actor Event Texture Id and below you can see it is the black background and doesnt fit like that:
You would ask why not edit the texture and and remove black from GIMP/Photoshop - I did that and the result was some white background coming either frm the Cube or some other texture - not the way I thought with transparent black and darker colors to mix. So only additive would help, opacity darkens the whole thing nothing like Additive, so can this be done in sc2?
Particles use texture and settings such as emission rate, life span, etc (that's how it was in war3, would be great if sc2 also had smth like magos war3 model editor) - so by changing texture firstly would spoil the cloud effect secondly emission would still occur.
Edit: I found it. The model e.g Fog Grey has one flag under Flags called 'Freeze Particles on Animation Pause' - so I create an event where with a Timer, the time expires some time so that the smoke can emerge and be what I want, then the other Event Pauses animation and with this Flag ticked the Smoke particles freeze : )) [SOLVED]
So? Is there a way to freeze the particles in any way that is without model editing in 3ds or not? It's not going to be a big deal, if there isn't it will even save time.
I decided to go with colored Fog Grey. Which actor events can pause the Stand animation of the Fog Grey few seconds after map starts like maybe TimeExpires few seconds then animation pauses? The problem is rather with the pausing that doesnt work. So far I have:
> ActorCreation
/_ AnimPlay Stand Stand PlayForever (standard event for the stand animation to show)
If I add |> ActorCreation /_ AnimSetPaused Stand (Paused:Enabled) nothing happens, the fog animation isn't paused, yes I cant even pause the animation, not to say at specific time. Also can you make the editor show the Weather Doodads in the editor? I ticked V Show Helper Models but the storm/rain/fig effects dont show in the editor
No matter what I enable from those buttons the Token field doesn't show to add the unit. Ok I just duplicated the sphere actor that has the Token field and used that actor to set unit. Seems the other ways to enable this field with an actor that doesnt have it, doesnt work. Thanks.
I created a new unit, I have an actor and I dont see where I can connect the actor to that unit, the unit having nothing but the actor already has a model to it, etc. It's just hard to see where I can make connections,
I know only some, example: in Actor's Art tab you select the model, that is how you link actor and model; with sounds in Actor's Combat tab you can see Death Effects field there is where you can add a Sound or remove thus this is how you link Actor to sounds, behaviors probably also by adding them but how you link Actor and Unit i dont know. If there is a tutorial on linking all from scratch that would be great, my issue being linking an empty unit with nothing attached to it to my actor/. Way to do it via changing/.adding somethign frm the fields like the others?
Alright, it is the BraxisAlphaSkyParallax_Low.m3 didn't know it is this and thanks, now it has the pure stars background and looks perfect. Well it screams Option 2 that I also prefer. So if I make my own planet using a Sphere, does anyone know how to make a proper 1 color nebula throughout the whole background? It doesn't have to be animated as nebulas dont really have air flows/currents or move like the Aiur nebula does which is imo wrong. So how to make a good nebula?
I either need to modify the Aiur skybox or make the skybox having nothing but stars and black material, no asteroids. I want to do around Korhal environment and for that I need to either:
Option 1. Modify Aiur skybox in such a way that the unlrealistic nebula consisting of several colors which dont even mix themselves and looks bad are all one color, I saw it uses several textures but I cant figure out how to change, I would need to remove the Destroyed Lava Planet that comes with that skybox or its texture, would need to replace the Aiur Texture for this skybox aiurplanet_clean.dds with already made Korhal texture. Since it uses several textures Im not sure if I should try modifying it like that.
Option 2. How to make a pure stars + black kvoid skybox, no other objects, the Aiur stars seem good but removing other things from it would be as hard as Option 1, so how to do this? Then I could maybe add a sphere with texture of Korhal to place the planet on it so if planet isnt issue, got any ideas to make a purple nebula?
Which option is better and how to do it? I searched but couldn't find an answer to that.

I dont want to publish ANY maps for now, especially just for download. Plus the map isn't ready, I can't upload it for every save i do can i >_>. My question is again like war3/sc where you could have the map appearing all the time if you put it in the right place... or Blizzard went ridiculous on that not being able to use in single the normal way. I suppose your answer means this is the only way.
Silleh meh, I just remembered that some Unit Tooltips have 'Heals 2 Life' in purple, so forgot the code obviously exists. Well thanks, I can deal with the color from now.
My other question is, do you know a way to start the map from playing as guest that is if you haven't download it from bnet, or the only way remains Test Map through the editor/drag file on sc2 icon? Im trying to make it so that the map can be started in a normal way from the game without publishing and by just browsing the list of maps like you do in normal Play as Guest where you see the list of maps. Is there a way or not?
That is where is the list of Maps you see in Play As Guest >> Play vs AI taken from? I can see the list of some custom and melee maps from bnet. Is there a way to add my map to such Assets or whatever list to make my map selectable for offline?
1. I have a trigger UI - Display "Test" for (All players) to Subtitle area and I want the 'Test' text to be in specific color. In war3 you could do that via |cf000Test|r - just an example, worked if you typed it in the trigger's text too, but does sc2 have a code or how do I make it via this trigger? Or do I need another type message?
2. Is there a way I can play my map by browsing it as a Guest? Because for this offline map I want to play offline not by doing it through the editor 'Test Map' or dragging but by browsing from, Play as Guest (so that my name doesnt appear Local Player' when i type smth in chat or do I need a triggger to change the name of Local Player? That after I've already changed the name of the Players in Map >> Player properties
All the trouble was because I used the trigger 'Attach Space Helmet to the Head of (Picked Unit)' which kind of fired the actual model file which is set to be the default sphere, that is why it still showed the normal sphere model with its chess-like texture even after pasting your model, actor and texture, only cause of the wrong trigger. Now when I use the trigger
Actor - Send actor message "Create SpaceHelmet" to main actor of unit (Picked unit)
it does show the model with the white.dds with transparency. I only wonder what attaches it to the heads of the units since I replaced the trigger that attaches to their heads. Anyway it is fixed now thanks for the continuous help! SOLVED

How to make a pure stars + black kvoid skybox, no other objects, the Aiur stars seem good but removing other things from it would be as hard as Option 1, so how to do this? Then I could maybe add a sphere with texture of Korhal to place the planet on it so if planet isnt issue, got any ideas to make a purple nebula?
Which option is better and how to do it? I searched but couldn't find an answer to that.

I dont want to publish ANY maps for now, especially just for download. Plus the map isn't ready, I can't upload it for every save i do can i >_>. My question is again like war3/sc where you could have the map appearing all the time if you put it in the right place... or Blizzard went ridiculous on that not being able to use in single the normal way. I suppose your answer means this is the only way.

Silleh meh, I just remembered that some Unit Tooltips have 'Heals 2 Life' in purple, so forgot the code obviously exists. Well thanks, I can deal with the color from now.
My other question is, do you know a way to start the map from playing as guest that is if you haven't download it from bnet, or the only way remains Test Map through the editor/drag file on sc2 icon? Im trying to make it so that the map can be started in a normal way from the game without publishing and by just browsing the list of maps like you do in normal Play as Guest where you see the list of maps. Is there a way or not?
That is where is the list of Maps you see in Play As Guest >> Play vs AI taken from? I can see the list of some custom and melee maps from bnet. Is there a way to add my map to such Assets or whatever list to make my map selectable for offline?

1. I have a trigger UI - Display "Test" for (All players) to Subtitle area and I want the 'Test' text to be in specific color. In war3 you could do that via |cf000Test|r - just an example, worked if you typed it in the trigger's text too, but does sc2 have a code or how do I make it via this trigger? Or do I need another type message?
2. Is there a way I can play my map by browsing it as a Guest? Because for this offline map I want to play offline not by doing it through the editor 'Test Map' or dragging but by browsing from, Play as Guest (so that my name doesnt appear Local Player' when i type smth in chat or do I need a triggger to change the name of Local Player? That after I've already changed the name of the Players in Map >> Player properties

All the trouble was because I used the trigger 'Attach Space Helmet to the Head of (Picked Unit)' which kind of fired the actual model file which is set to be the default sphere, that is why it still showed the normal sphere model with its chess-like texture even after pasting your model, actor and texture, only cause of the wrong trigger. Now when I use the trigger
Actor - Send actor message "Create SpaceHelmet" to main actor of unit (Picked unit)
it does show the model with the white.dds with transparency. I only wonder what attaches it to the heads of the units since I replaced the trigger that attaches to their heads. Anyway it is fixed now thanks for the continuous help! SOLVED
