Function Research

I disagrea with your asumption that the alpha is controlled that way. So far as i could tell no evidence points towards there being an alpha channel.

Your table is labled funny, yet still readable. Good job; however I thought I released this table? If not my bad :p

YAY different color shield meter!!!

How you may ask... well here is my answer:

What meter is NOT available in multiplayer?

It's in Campaign!!!

The active camo meter for the elite! change the color values in that! and link them to the object shader in the meta editor under the shield meter in the masterchief or the dervish.

here is a pic:

Right but are all colours in the shader? If not you've only come as far as I did.

yea

they are all in the shader!

in the shader the functions 0 and 1 16,17,18,19 (blue green red alpha) are the main colors (the shield colors)
for function 2 is the color behind it (the black from my picture)

IDK??? this is funny i got bored this is a 2 min long thing for me to do!

I compressed your triple post into one post, if you're wondering, Click16.

On the other hand, that's a beastly lookin' HUD you got there! I'll be looking forward to putting something like that in my next mod.

Very nice find on that shader; however what is the colour when the shield is depleted :p

For which biped?

By the looks of it, he's got different HUD colors for either the elite or the spartan, if you look closely.

Post by **JacksonCougar** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 2:52 am

I know; I want to see a gif like this one to see if all the colours really are controllable or not.

Note: the black in this is not removable... yet.

Post by **Aumaan Anubis** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 2:55 am

Oh, I see now.

So, when your GIF shield depletes, it removes the black color and replaces it with transparency, correct? You want to see if the transparency can be changed?

Click16 · Post by **Click16** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 2:23 pm

function #2 is what is behind it when it reboots the 0 and 1 are the shield gradient!

try making the alpha 1?

EDIT:well that didnt work!

maybe try deleting the chunk????

If you guys are working on an app and could use any help, I think I'm getting the desire to code back, I'd help in any way you need that I can do.
