Oh, and just a question, not a suggestion but, is it possible to change the scrolling background cloud texture to something else?

That's vsmoke.tga, if I remember correctly.

QUE? What else uses vsmoke? I don't think you can change it to use a different texture can you?

[General BlackDragon]

No, but u might could change vsmoke.tga to be...ooh, say...dancing puppies? hmm ideas...

[Steeveeo]

then all the stock spherebased effects would contain dancing puppies

i was wondering why the qf shell had a wierd cloud texture, well i guess i know now since i changed vsmoke.tga

[Raven]

Dang so its used quite a bit... Blah no dancing puppies for us

[General BlackDragon]

Well...You could always make the renders use smoke.tga...

[GSH]

The cone spotlight is also hardwired to vsmoke.tga.

No, I don't think this is the greatest design.

Any chance of un-hardwiring these, or adding 2 more smoke textures, 1 for interface and 1 for light cones?

[GSH]

I'll consider that, but any mod that overrode vsmoke.tga will suddenly not work as expected.

A lot of problems are trivial if backward compatability isn't an issue.

I believe he ment adding 2 new textures and changing the ones the shell and lightcone use to point to the new ones. Thus not effecting vsmoke.tga. (ATM I am unaware of any mods using this for those 2 items)

[Red Devil]

I found 122 1.2 and 1.3 files that use vsmoke.tga

[Nielk1]

Like ismoke.tga for interface and lsmoke.tga for the light cones. Then anything using the vsmoke.tga texture would still have it, and anything that is hardwired and never changed. Mainly, the ismoke.tga since it is clearly engine hard coded and something many mods might want to change.

Worked on the Ammo/Health bars today...

So pwity!!

What happens when you use a higher or lower screen res??
