Solved Custom sword trails

[Malkav]

Okay, so the line in the .sab file goes:

 

trailStyle 1

 

Since I've only done very simple stuff during my course of playing JKA, I'm not sure how to approach this issue. The variable is not an effect name or a path to one (or an image) so I'm wondering if it's possible to add a completely new one, without affecting the vanilla ones.

Ummm...I'm not an expert, but is used this thread here: http://forums.filefront.com/sw-jk3-modding-mapping-editing/193645-list-things-you-can-do-sab-file.html

 

And according to that I don't think so. The only values are 0, 1, 2. I really don't know much about .sabs...try reading the tread above.

I'm not really into this, but that's what the sourcecode says:

 

trailStyle; //0 - default (0) is normal, 1 is a motion blur and 2 is no trail at all (good for real-sword type mods)

 

The default trail goes to

gfx/effects/sabers/swordTrail

 

And the motion blur one to

gfx/effects/sabers/saberBlur

 

Edit: therfiles was faster

I take it that it's not possible with just modding. Thanks for the replies.

Best you can do, without a code mod, is replace one of the two base effects.
