Teamcolor Enhancement for 1.3

[Zero Angel]

Just thought i'd repost this, since everyone is downloading PB4. I made a teamcolor enhancement for 1.3 awhile back, which makes units look much better in multiplayer.

The only minor bug is that on darkly lit maps, your units will look much brighter than the ambient lighting would normally permit. Should not cause any other issues that i'm aware of.

I can vouch for this. They make HE look ALOT better since I use TeamColor for Blue Squadron instead of trying to re-texture all of the squads.

Thanks, Zero!

[General BlackDragon]

they probably would go great with my texture pack

Aw, man, sorry!

Anyway, is there any chance of having different team colours on different maps, like they had in ZST? It seems a little weird playing in the snow in bright red and blue.

it would be nice to have a shell button or selection box for colour

Actually, I'm planning a semi-global patchy thingy... I'll make a new thread if I can.

That functionality has to be coded into the mission DLL.

Here's a line pulled out of one of the INF (map configuration) files from a ZST map.

Code Select Expand

ivar56 = 7 // ivar56=0 std 1=night 2=ice 3=jungle 4=desert 5=chess 6=spy
...
svar1 = "Team Orange" // Team name for team 1
svar2 = "Team Black" // Team name for team 2

Could anybody point me to the DLL that enables all this stuff?

[Purplehaze]

Well, I might be a bit late, but im still assuming this is for the 1.3pb4a patch, and im only getting the Sabre's, Atilla's and Scavenger's fix
Any tips, or something i missed, and yes i have tried reinstalling.

[AHadley]

I must admit things don't work desperately well for me either.

[Zero Angel]

I'm not sure what changed in 4a as these skins worked flawlessly in PB4 and earlier

[Nielk1]

Are these BZ2DXT files? I have a feeling you will need them to be now.

[Zero Angel]

No, they're either PIC or TGA files if I recall correctly. Is there a tutorial on this site on how to convert these formats to bz2dxt?

[Commando]

It is very easy as GSH provides the application used to create dxtbz2 files.

BZ2DXTGen - Bloody good program. Saved my arse a few times it has...
