| − | == Transparency (Stealth) ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Most stealth/invisibility/transparency effects don't play back in demos. The few exceptions (like trainer War Witch and Numina) are built into the model and not something you can apply.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | However, although the standard stealth powers don't work, this FX does:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | OBJECTIVEOBJECTFX/GHOSTED.FX
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is the placeable mission objective effect (like for planting bombs) that make the objects transparent until you place them. I did a quick demo test as follows (splicing States onto the City Rep):
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 0 6 NEW "City Representative"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 0 6 NPC Model_Statesman
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 0 6 POS 128.5 -768 -639.5
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 0 6 PYR 0 0 0
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 0 6 MOV ALTREADY_TRANS_XARMS
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 0 6 FX Maintained 7 OBJECTIVEOBJECTFX/GHOSTED.FX 0
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The FX line is the only one I added (make sure it doesn't conflict with any other FX) and voila! Transparent Statesman.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Qualifiers:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * The transparency effect pulsates, so it's not a consistent steady level of transparency.
| + | |
| − | * The FX also includes the mission objective noise, so you might have to work with the audio.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Invasion Sky & War Walls ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Normal sky: SKYFILE SKY 1 0 1.000000
| + | |
| − | Invasion sky: SKYFILE SKY 0 1 1.000000
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | That's using the first two fields (which is how it records during an actual invasion), which appear to be binary.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can also play with the final number to tweak things, though I don't know how that functions. My best guess being that it's a saturation value of some sort -- the more you increase it, the more color starts washing out all detail, although interestingly it seems to predominate in the foreground, rather than the sky or distance. Possibly a depth of field value. Dunno.
