question- jet streams?

[ShawDAMAN]

Hi-

How do you edit or select what 'jet stream' (for lack of a better word) a flyiing character will use (say, ironman with his thrusters?)

I've noticed that while most of them work fine on my pc one or 2 characters have oddly pixellated/square jet streams.

ffedit. i think under the fx tab.

going by your post in the tech sectoin, i think this is more of a skin issue than a mesh issue. bearded is righton in suggesting the use of fx to set up flight fx, however, you may still run ito the same problem. there maybe a way to fix this by adjusting the tga file, but youd have to ask someone more knowledgable than me about this.

As Amazo said, it could be a skin issue...But it may also be your video card having issues with the fx's alpha channels.

thanks all. I think it is a skin issue, and possibly my graphics card as well, but interestingly, changing the tga. file that is referenced to something else (for instance I was having the probelm with 'war machine' (mesh by grenadier skin by C6 I think) but I borrowed the tga file for the jetstreams from 'ironman mk10" (in this case, 'male_basic_fire') and replaced war machines with them- and it is still slightly pixelated but far less so- almost tolerable. it's all pretty strange.

can you post a pic of what your seeing? and can you post a pic of what your tga file looks like? maybe it will jar some suugestions.

Here's a picture of the basic problem....

Here's the original tga file that came with the skin


When I replace it, with, say, this one

(and certain others I have tried)

The problem is greatly alleviated though not eliminated- you still see a sort of ghostly square/pixelating from certain angles:

If you PM me an E-Mail address, I can send you an updated (.tga) file that will hopefully help you out.

[ShawDAMAN]

Hi Cyber- PM sent. Thanks for your interest

[Cyber Burn]

Not a problem, if you don't mind, could you please post a pic of the new (.tga) file in action so I can see how it looks?

[ShawDAMAN]

here's with your tga:



from certain angles it becomes much less noticeable.

[Cyber Burn]

I'll keep messing with the (.tga) file to see if I can get a better result.

[ShawDAMAN]

many thanks

Just out of curiosity, is that the standard skin for the War_Machine mesh? It looks different than what I have.

[ShawDAMAN]

nope not standard, I got it on champions of freedom- courtnall6 I think. Standard one has the same problem, incidentally.
