 Re: red glow sprite
Posted by Spartan on Sun Oct 24th at 5:04pm 2004

I am looking for a red glow sprite to use in NS. I want something that you would use for lights and I did not find any in the sprites folder. If some knows where I can find a download of a sprite like that it would help. Also How do I get the effect of steam spraying out of a vent. I found several steam sprites but all were small and circular. I am guessing it might take several of these sprites stacked to get a steam effect but if there is another way of doing it let me know. Thanks.

I never knew you could change a sprites color. That's certainly new to me.

look bud, i dunno about NS, it makes no sense that it would be different that normal HL..

get sprite viewer, pick the one you want, and edit it to suit..

edit it as in, tall and skinny, short and fat, fast moving, slow moving..

steam is steam.. why would NS do it differently?

get pakscape, extract the sprites, get sprite viewer..

[edit] the sprite you need, may not be called "steam" [edit]

I have sprite viewer and I checked all the sprites. Also I believe you can use HL sprites in any other mod (I think). Is this true.

make a test map, try.

yes, you can change the sprite-colour info:
go to fx color
pick your color
there you go, the sprite is the right color.
this should be in any fgd, otherwise it would be a very old one.

let a env_shooter loop, make sure it shoot sprites, i think this works because you can use models as sprites so its probably possible.
there is a trick to let it loop with a multimaneger, but i dont know that exactly.

i cheat, i place random triggerAAA brushes around my map.. when someone walks through it, random steam bursts occur.. is much easier to set up and NO MM's [addsig]

Spartan, a quick search of the the site (map editing>resources) turned up this, would you believe.

you can set their scale in the properties, if you want to change the size of them.

Thanks for clarifying that. It would have been easy for me to be left with the assumption that you were unsure of the answer, by posting something like;

I did make mine yellow, because I was confident that my post answered the question in the thread title.

I've also edited in what is needed to answer the other part of Spartans question, if that makes any difference to you.

Orph are you talking about me? Anyways I already knew you scaled down the texture but I wasn't sure if you could change its color. You'll get to see my sprite skills hopefully this week when I post up my NS map.

Orph, NS has added a particle system which uses sprites to create much more complex effects that HL just couldn't really do on its own. Some aspects of that are different.

But yes, you can set sprite color, but there's also a few that have a reddish tint to them (redflare, for example). Your call what works best; the red you specify may be too saturated if you're not careful, but sometimes the pre-colored sprites don't give the right tone either. [addsig]

No, why should I. Spartan asked primarily for a red sprite. He couldn't find one. He can find one, or it's name and how to use it on the page of this site that i linked to. He also wanted a sprite that would look like steam, but had only been able to find round ones. Again, the link I provided would provide the required sprite, negating the need for any other editing questions about stacking round sprites. Two birds with one stone.

Anything else?

Your link didn't really provide a sprite so much as showcasing ones he already had. Be nice to Orph you meanie. [addsig]
