[PhotoShop GUIDE] Editing weapon glows!

01/02/2007 02:17 TT_TT#1
After hearing requests of some people for a guide to edit glows, I decided to make mine.

First you need to find the glow you want to edit. Today I will take a glow that I already edited, the firesword file of

the lvl 115 blade / sword.

[ Conquer2.0/c3/effect]


After opening the folder, you have to open on Photoshop all the .dds files in it.

It should look like this:

Now that you have your files open, you simply have to click Ctrl U ( Ctrl + U) It will open like this:

IMPORTANT: YOU HAVE TO BE EDITING THE MAIN FILE WITCH IN THIS IS THE BLACK BACKGROUND WITH BLUE ROWS ON IT. Never start by editing the color boxes!


To edit you simply have to move the Hue and Saturation triangles so they make the blue rows change color. It should pretty much look like this:

Now that you have chosen the color you wish your weapon to be. Go to Files > Save ( If it asks you to replace something click YES FOR ALL.

Now you just have to reboot your CO so that the changes occure.

Have fun editing your glows!

I had posted a guide on how to get the real version of Photoshop cs2 for free on the internet with some codes and stuff but it got deleted since i could't do something like promote when i was just helping. :rolleyes:

You need a plugin for .dds files but the plugin only exists on photoshop so it makes it that only photoshop could do it.

On EPvP... No... but I might make one if you guys support me with your messages, +k and all, that's how i made this guide :)

Mixing armors isn't that easy you need some patience, for exemple I could find the lvl 110 troj armor and add the wings of the lvl 107 archer coat to it so it makes that when you're on a 110 troj with 110 armor he could have wings stuck to his armor. It could happen to any kind of armors and stuff.

I have found on another site some good graphers that have revealed the entire effect file, it is that that I use, i will ask them if i could post the c3/effect folder reveal witch tells you what each folder got in it.
