Well, I just started trying to learn model editing tonight, because I'd really like to become good at this.

Anyway, for my first step in learning I did a "reskin" of the 2handed sword from Sunwell, Apolyon the Soul-Render.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to edit particles, so this is just a minor change really, would look much better if I could edit the particles. Hopefully I'll get there.



So here's what this changes the current Apolyon, the Soul-Render to.




Here's more like where I want to get it to.





Anyway, if you need any help, let me know. Here ya go.

cool, good luck learning. Just look around in the guides section and you will get it in no time

Bookmark that page. If you ever want to get into hexxing a model, that would be the best place to get your info from.
Also, download this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Those programs will help you do a few things with M2's, including changing particle colour.

Thanks for the info. I'm a little disheartened now as I just spent the last few hours trying to make the season 3 pally set red/black/silver and it shows me naked in game


EDIT: Okay, I was trying to run / do anything with CryectsTools... I have to have a C++ compiler to compile it first...? I downloaded one (Borland C++) but I can't get it to work... it says I need to make certain .cfg files in certain directories... I don't know how to make .cfg files......................

Krusader it happens to the best of us, i dont know why it does that something goes wrong with the conversion to a blp probably

Character and certain clothing BLPs are palletized alpha images. I posted a link to a program that will convert them properly in some other thread, so just do a search and you'll find it. Also, Cryect's tools are already compiled, but the source is there if you want/need to change them.

Meh, I've tried editting the particles on the Torch of the Damned / s3 mace for a couple hours now... Nothing is changing though =/ One time I turned the model entirely black and the particle was invisible. This is tough. Make a guide on turning the s3 2handed mace particles a different color! I'll give you 2 rep >.<

In the model:
. . read:
. . . . 0x13C - uint32 - nParticleEmitters - number of particle emitters
. . . . 0x140 - uint32 - ofsParticleEmitters - offset to particle emitters
. . go to the value that is set at ofsParticleEmitters.
. . apply the structure you find at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] nParticleEmitters times.
. . for each particle emitter go to
. . . . 0x150 - uint32[3] - ARGB colors (start, mid, end)
. . edit the values here. they are in aabbggrr. normal hex-colors.
. . if nothing changes read the texture.
. . . . 0x016 - int16 - Texture ID
. . this one is an index in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
. . look for the offset to the filename here and read it.
. . change the texture in an external app.
