Is it possible to create new saber colours?

[BruceJohnJenner]

Ive been doing some tinkering with my single player Jedi Academy install, with mostly good results. One thing that has eluded me though, is creating new saber colours, specifically a silver coloured lightsaber. I tried editing the files under gfx/effects/sabers , but it didnt work. Are the rgb values applied to sabers hardcoded into the executable, or is it possible to modify them?

[mrwonko]

Both.

[BruceJohnJenner]

Both.

...

Both what? As in the saber colour is determined by both the mask applied from gfx/effects/sabers and a hardcoded rgb value for each preset colour in the executable?

 

Are there any console commands that I can use to manually set saber colour?

more time ago, i see in file front a mod that replace 2 sabers, the orange and the yellow, with a silver white saber and a dark black saber.

add a new color the seven color (there is also the red is hard and i not know anything about the code of sabers color)

but you can download this mod and see how to work and remake something like that.

in my legacy of kain mod, the air sword are white. so i replaced with the white blade, following the procedure of this mod, the orange saber.

i use the puprle ssaber for darkness, the orange for air, the red for fire, blue for water, green for earth, yellow for light. that's work very fine for making elemental blades.

Both what?

You asked only two questions:

Are the rgb values applied to sabers hardcoded into the executable, or is it possible to modify them?

The answer is yes to both. You can modify them by modifying the code. Or that's what I think, I'm not 100% sure on it.

If you only want to spice up your Single Player experience then I'd suggest you download and edit  this : http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/SP_Red_Saber;21504

Unless you plan to share your work here, you don't need to contact the author of this file. Just change it from red to silver and you are good to go.

 

Reading the comments on that file, there are those who say it works and those who complain that it doesn't.  Give it a try atleast will ya?

After a bit of digging, I found this

still not sure how it works, but a bit of experimentation will probably resolve that

I'm not sure, but I remember my brother using one of those mods many many MANY years ago

I'm talking about 2004/2006, so I hardly have a memory of it.

Makes me feel nostalgic lol

pity RGB saber cannot be used separately for the NPCS ._.

@@Vulcan yes, use the mod of the red saber too told by zefilus, but be careful, if you change the red to silver, all siths got silver sabers it's better if you change to silver the orange blade.

I prefer red, my skin works better on that

Still no luck on this, I tried the Kotor silver saber mod off of filefront, but it doesnt appear to work as advertised at all for me. I suspect the issue is related to shader files, but I dont understand the syntax at all. Can anyone reccomend a good tutorial on shader files?

Try the Q3Map2 Shader Manual.
