Teamcolor Enhancement for 1.3

[mrtwosheds]

You should not need both formats

[Nielk1]

EXACTLY!
But I do...

Or actually, i need some in BZ2DXT and some in PIC, but not the same ones, but testing each and every one would drive me MAD!

[Commando]

Even in TA5?  If so, mantis it.

[TheJamsh]

the enhancement shouldn't be needed for TA5 anyhow should it?

[mrtwosheds]

If its done carefully the a0 textures can still greatly enhance the look of skins in TA5.
You need a good graphics program to do it though.

[AHadley]

GIMP isn't quite up to the task... maybe somebody with photoshop should get on it.

[TheJamsh]

surely you mean the c0 textures?

a0 are glowskins arnt they? only a few models have them.

[AHadley]

The texture patch used glowskins of the grey areas of stock textures to prevent them being coloured over in MP.

[Purplehaze]

Yeah, This still works in TA5 and makes em look even better.

[TheJamsh]

AHadley is fixing them up a bit for TA5 i believe.

Does BZ2 just apply the colour to any region that isnt totally black? Or do these ones work on transparency?

[AHadley]

BZ2 works colourskins like this, I beleive.

Each of the following are loaded in sequence, top one first.

*c0 skin                       (Colour skin, in the case of the ISDF this is a white skin rather than
                                   orange.)
Blue layer                     (This is the colour)

*a0 skin                       (Glow skin. Anything in this layer shows over both previous skins.

[Commando]

Is this being worked on still by anyone?  It would be nice if the buildings could have the same enhancements as the ISDF ships got.

The ISDF ships look nice with the new team skins, it would be nice if Scions could get a similar update since ISDF ships and Scion ships using the same team color are slightly different.

[AHadley]

Yeah, I'm still working on it. I'm having texture problems though, is it possible to trigger team colours in IA?

You'd have to edit the DLL, as the DLL turns those on/off. You can't use the stock function(s) to turn on teamcolors, as those are built for MP. In MP, teams 1-5 get one color, 6-10 get a second color. In IA, the AI is on team 5. It shouldn't be that hard, especially with TA5, to read in the color from team 6 and copy it to team 5.

I have no way of editing DLLs and I don't really want to learn languages right now... I thought there was a console command for it?
