Removing Force Protect/Absorb

[Arthor]

Can anyone do this i know Knights of the force has that feature and i wonder if someone could make a mod for regular jedi academy as well. 

[McGroose]

Are you talking about removing the aura around the user when activated, or having no NPC's use those powers? If it's the former, I'm guessing all one would have to do is find the textures for both Protect and Absorb, than replace them with something completely transparent.

[Keyten]

Protect: gfx/misc/forceprotect

Absorb: gfx/misc/personalshield

Just replace it to clear shader.

[Arthor]

i can not find those in the asset file 

[therfiles]

They are entries in a .shader file within shaders/ (one of the gfx ones, I think). Try that.

[Arthor]

it is not there or i am not capable to find it i guess it is called under another name.

[therfiles]

I took a quick look, and the entry for the shader is in the file shaders/effects.shader. I then searched and found both the entries that @@Keyten mentioned. Then, I replaced them with clearness, for example

 

Before

gfx/misc/personalshield
{
	deformvertexes	bulge	0 0.75 0
    {
        map gfx/effects/p_shield
        blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ONE
        rgbGen entity
        tcGen environment
        tcMod rotate 200
        tcMod turb 0.6 0.3 0 0.6
    }
    {
        map gfx/effects/p_shield
        blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ONE
        rgbGen entity
        tcMod rotate -600
        tcMod scale 2 3
    }
}

After

gfx/misc/personalshield
{
    {
        map $whiteimage
        blendFunc GL_ZERO GL_ONE
    }
}

[Arthor]

so this replace the force protect effect i presume though did you managed to find the absorb one too ? will take a look again 

[therfiles]

Yes. Both of them are there. I just showed that one as an example. Both entries are:

 

Protect: gfx/misc/forceprotect

Absorb: gfx/misc/personalshield

[Arthor]

everything works now thank you my friend 

[eezstreet]

Well, what did you do with the modified .shader file?

[Arthor]

i did as he said up there and i just saved it now everything works though i did not know that it also disabled when you got hit by blasters however this was a great thing for me especially because i use jedi academy to make movies and those effects made it so unrealistic.
