ivenoname Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 So with the release of the GECK are we able to change the color of lasers? I had a post about doing this a while back but I and a few others could not figure it out so I decided to wait for the GECK. Now that the GECK is here I am having computer issues and can not play/mod Fallout (just my luck) so I figured I would just ask someone. Thanks.

SpeedyB64 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Lol my computer is out of commission too. Once I fix the cooling system I will look at the editor and find out how to do it. It is doable the setting must be in there somewhere I think it would be in the projectile data somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivenoname Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Man that sucks doesn't it, we get the GECK and bummed computers. Well anyways Hope you get your PC up and running, and I look forward to your findings...not that it will do me any good right now. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khet Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I haven't searched specifically for this but it should be possible. You'd be looking for the .DDS file that is tied to the laser Nif I believe. Nifskope should be able to tell you what textures the laser nif uses, after that it's just a simple matter of extracting the DDS and recoloring it. Don't take my word for it though, I could be wrong and the DDS might not even be tied in with the laser Nif. Like I said, I haven't looked for it myself so it's mostly speculation. If anything, you can pull out all the textures from the BSAs and look at the file names and open any DDS relating to lasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivenoname Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 See we went through all that a while back, the .dds file used is all white, and editing it has no effect. There is a setting somewher that tells lasers to be red, and plasma to be green. So A: there needs to be a setting in the GECK that lets you change it, or B: we need to find the actual code that controlls it and change it there. heres to hoping it is "A" because as far as I can tell the exact code has not been found. Oh how I wish it was a simple retexture. Anyways thanks for trying to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khet Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ah, now that has indeed sparked my interest. I'll take a look at it myself and see what I can dig up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivenoname Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Awesome. As a heads up, you can find the .dds file if you extract the NIF and backtrack from there, it isn't labeled very well so that's the easiest way of finding it. Aside from that I don't know anything about HEX so searching through FOMM was not really working out for me. Anyways good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivenoname Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Find anything yet? I just got my PC fixed and I figured I'd see what has developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
