Lightning Color

[defskull]

So I base my Lightning from "DRAM" - Drain Mana.
How do I go about changing this Lightning to White Color ?

I guess this function somehow does that but I don't know what's the proportion of Red, Green, Blue;

• Lightning - Change color of (Last created lightning effect) to (1.00 1.00 1.00) with 1.00 alpha

You'll have to edit the LightningData.slk to get a more 'white' lightning. I doubt that function will achieve what you want.

I believe it can't be changed to white, because changing the colour of a lightning is like adding a coloured mask in front of it.

I made a recoloured texture for it. Import it to path ReplaceableTextures\Weather\WhiteDrain.blp and LightningData.slk to Splats\LightningData.slk. Use WHIT for the name of the lightning.

How to do that exactly ?
I'm weak when it comes to import/export data.

If you can, step-by-step would be nice.

 

[Lambdadelta]

Open Import Manager. Import File (CTRL+I). Browse to files. Open. Double click imported file. Check Use custom path. Replace with mentioned filepath.

For WhiteDrain.blp: ReplaceableTextures\Weather\WhiteDrain.blp
For LightningData.slk: Splats\LightningData.slk.

1. Go to import manager and import both files: LightningData.slk and WhiteDrain.blp.
2. Double-click on the files and check "use custom path". Then change the paths to what I said above.
3. When you use that lightning in a spell, use "WHIT" as lightning id.

Ohhh and I thought I need some kind of new software, like MPQ editor or something.
