Re: Adding eye glow What did you do? Did you resprite, cause that would have been the simplest way to do it.

Re: Adding eye glow Yeah, just open up the .bmp and color it in.
If you're art savy (kinda) you could open it up in a program like paint.net or photoshop, make 2 layers (background as original head, top layer copy of glow you want), lower the opacity of the top layer, and flatten them.
I could do it for you if you would like.

Re: Adding eye glow Croblade, that glow needs to be attached to a MOPixel, which is then emitted by an AEmitter attached to the head of the actor.
Look for Diemos, they have eyeglows, even back at the pre-Lua builds.

Re: Adding eye glow That also works, and if you play around with some numbers like Lifetime, velocity and spread, you could get some interesting effects.

Re: Adding eye glow I like aemitter glows but they are devastatingly unefficient. Having 3-4 guys with glowy eyes can really kill the timescale in a game. I suppose much of this is owed to how the game handles glows as a whole, but there tends to be the trap of 'overemitting' (making waaay more particles than you really need to) with an aemitter.
If you're willing to learn lua, the most efficient way to do it is probably to hook up a script to the head that generates a glow mopixel every cycle at a set location that rotates with the head. Set the glow pixel to last about 20 milliseconds (give or take for different effect) and you should be good. RotateOffset for the win.

Re: Adding eye glow Or hell, just creates a MOPixel glow and moves the pixel around.

Lol,gonna stick to this  I tried,i read Shadowstorm's codes,(yes,AEmitters nad MOparticles)but i still suck I just had to copy it off caus the characters have the same offsets and that stuff So idk what i did wrong,i would need a bit more detailed tutorial And hell no,im not learning Lua
