[SOLVED] How to change color of the Smoke

[efrenespartano]

 Hi, everyone!

I want to recolor the classic Smoke to Black and green for a new damage types I'm working on. How to do it? What files I need to recolor and how to apply them on a ruleset?

Thanks in advance!


EDIT: At April, 1st 2019, I had a question about how to add smoke to a weapon hit. I've found the correct option:

Code: [Select]

    damageAlter:
      SmokeThreshold: 1

you have to  make a new image for the smoke, then add it to the extraSrites under SMOKE.PCK
the ruleset should be like this:

Code: [Select]

extraSprites:
  - type: SMOKE.PCK
    height: 40
    width: 384
    subX: 32
    subY: 40
    files:
      8: Resources/my_custom_smoke.gif  # or png
As for the image itself you have to take all the smoke frames from the attached image and put them in a line in a single image (png or gif). Mind that the fuchsia line is just a gap that separates frames, don't keep it.

Thank you ! I didn't knew where was the smoke animations.

Do you have any suggestion to recolor all of the animations at once?

It's pretty simple.
Once you have put all the frames in line into a single image (the result should be like the example attached), you use the paint bucket tool (be sure to uncheck "contiguous" and to set "tolerance =0) and color all the smoke pixels quickly.

On GIMP or Photoshop?

Why not use Falko's recolouring tool?

It was specifically made to convert colour groups to other colour groups, and it performs perfectly.

Well... because I don't know how to do it. I mean, I know how to use the other Falko's tools, they are super useful. But that one, no.

Wait, there can be more than one type of smoke? That sounds incredibly useful. Can there be more than one type of fire?

[ohartenstein23]

No, there is only one type of smoke and one type of fire, the point here is just that you can change the graphics for them.

Ah. Too bad. Would've been interesting to try making stun damage leave a cloying stun damage form of smoke, or for plasma to leave its own form of fire. Or what I really was thinking of, the black fog from the original war of the worlds.

Haha that's exactly why I asked this. I'm going to add it to my project with some recolored Smoke animation.
