Model Recolour Request - Command Aura [RESOLVED]

[Shadon]

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for two (hopefully) simple model recolours. To sum up, I need recolours of the Command Aura model; one that is the same colour as the Player 13 (Maroon) team colour (or close enough) and one that is the same or close to Player 7 (Green).

If someone could please make these for me or give me a pointer on how to recolour models myself I'd be hugely appreciative of it. Thank you in advance!

Imho still the easiest most straight forward way is to have a look at the text format .mdl of the model.
So:
1. Open game data with casc viewer
2. Export the model
3. Convert to mdl

You will see that the color is defined mostly inside the "flash.blp" texture

And inside the model .mdl there is one color line

By modifying these values you can recolor the model.
If you don't want to overwrite the texture globally you need to import different versions of command aura, with references to differently colored textures.
(or make teamcolored, but this is usually more difficult)

@Hermit: Sorry, I was after recolours of the Command Aura model used for the War Drums / Command Aura abilities, I think the one you provided was a recolour of Endurance Aura. Apologies, that's my fault for not being clear.

Sorry, I was looking at the name of the model itself (Abilities\Spells\Orc\CommandAura\CommandAura.mdx), not the name of the ability.

Interestingly, there is also one more Command Aura model (Abilities\Spells\Orc\CommandAura\CommandAuraTarget.mdx) that is unused.

Those are perfect, thank you Hermit!

There are 3 ways to recolor a model :

1 - Texture Recolor : Some models require to edit their original textures in order to change their color.
2 - Particle Emitter : Used for Special Effects mostly.
3 - Geoset Animation : If the model doesn't use none of the 2 above. in that case. You'll need to create a Geoset Animation for that model. This can be done easily with Magos Model Editor :

• Open the model file with Magos Model Editor
• Click on "Windows" tab then click on "Geoset Animation Manager"
• Right click and click on "Create New"
• Choose the Geoset ID you want to recolor
• Check "Use color"
• Select the color you want to use
• Click "Ok" and you're done!

Now, if the model has many Geosets then you'll need to create multiple Geoset Animation and attach them to each one of them.
