Need assistance with a sign.

Post by KevinJarvis »

I want to make a sign that shows up at night.
How do I edit a texture so it does that?

I've got it showing up in the day time just fine.

Thanks.

I have the sign bgl and the texture. I just need to know how to format the texture so it shows up at night under lights.

I don't think you can do that unless you recompile the model. Not sure about Gmax but in FSDS you have to tick a check box to let it know that a certain part uses a night texture that ends in "_LM".

Ahhh...OK, changing the model is not something I can do.
Thanks Mike.

Send me a picture of what you need, I can make something up fairly quickly for you if you'd like.
