Furioso Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 And no, I don't mean making an area glow when I stab an NPC there. I mean like the green light that surrounds you when you cast a spell like 'Starlight'. About the sword. It has a green flame effect, sort of like the 'Sword of the Gods' in TES Nexus downloads, is there anyway to make that fade away if I haven't attacked an enemy in a while, and make the effect come back if I do? Also, one of my swords has a normal map, and when outdoors the sword seems to have a purplish overlay, and it seems to be extremely shiny. Is there any way to tone down the shinyness? Sorry about all these questions, I'd just like to get my sword to be perfect. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain on this one, I've even tried attaching light nodes to the mesh... No good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good. i dont think u are right with this. in the .nif file you can edit the EnvMap attached to the blade or any other part of the weapon, there are 4 parts that do the following Ambient ColorHow much the material reflects ambient light. Diffuse ColorHow much the material reflects diffuse light. Specular ColorHow much light the material reflects in a specular manner. Emissive ColorHow much light the material emits.this is the one you want, you can change the color to pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 That lets the mesh appear brighter than the local lighting would make it. It doesn't let it light up its surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furioso Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Alright, so emitting light is out. But can I make the sword glow by adding an emitter or something? (without making light) Better yet, trigger the sword to glow when there are enemies near? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenxander Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Wait I am CERTAIN that OOO has light staves! I've found some - equipped them; they have a glowing top and have a 'light' effect when held (they are basically a shield). I don't have OOO installed any longer though; perhaps with Oblivion Scrip Editor you can add this effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are another group of staves which act as shields, which can explain your confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
