Pip Colours

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2003 3:05 pm Post subject: Pip Colours

Just a quick questions

How (IF) do you change the pip colour for tiberium types AFAIK you cant (add any more at least)

TS Retro has green, blue and red tiberium

just want to make the red tiberium show up as burgandy when the harvestor harvests it rather than the current Blue that is shows up as?

Any ideas ?

doesnt the colour= affects the pip colour? The tiberium has no direct configuration of pipcolour.

yea thats the logical thinking Banshee

but as it is

colour=Burgandy

pip colour turns out blue

wow... weird... hmm... funny, that other than that, I would give a try in the image line, but I dont know why the images are numbers...

maybe pip=colour, just like with infantry?

Banshee · Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2003 7:26 pm Post subject:

No, it doesnt. Pip= is in the InfantryTypeClass which means that it only works for infantry...

omg you don't know?

I thought that the colour setting or the image would do that....

Let me just install TS and take a look at the rules.ini setting. i'm sure somewhere it says somethink like RadarColoure=Green.

TerroR · General **Joined**: 25 Aug 2002 **Location**: UK

Ok well for definate u can editthe trees radar coloure:

[TREE08]
Name=Tree
IsFlammable=yes
RadarColor=0,192,0

Yup you can do it to most things, tib trees and so on and ya tiberium. but to do it to tiberium you must edit all the

[BTIB11]
Name=Large Tiberium
Tiberium=yes
LegalTarget=false
RadarColor=80,0,0
Land=Rock
ChainReaction=yes
CellAnim=BIGBLUE
Image=None
NoUseTileLandType=true
DrawFlat=false

Yes?

well does it change the pip color too?

TerroR · General **Joined**: 25 Aug 2002 **Location**: UK

pip colour? pip coloure is for transport vehicles only. u know the little squares that show up on transport vehicles and when u put an infantry into it a square changes coloure. so if u put for the Light Infantry PipColoure=Red it will fill a red block on the transport when u put a light infartry in it.

Do do u mean u want to change the coloure of the red tiberian that shows up on the minimap?

Banshee · Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2003 5:30 pm Post subject:

Not in minimap. You know when a harvester is full? You click in it and it appears the pip showing what type of tiberium it collected? That's what we r talking about in this topic.

TerroR · General **Joined**: 25 Aug 2002 **Location**: UK

Ah yes i understand, i'll take a look at that.

Edit:
also i noticed TiberiumTransmogrify=40 What does that mean?

TiberiumTransmogrify

hmm i think that is the percentage or some other divider chance that dieing infantry turn into viceroids

not 100% sure though[/quote]

I couldn't find out.

We all known the speed infantry died from blue tib has changed since version 1... but this value didn't change... it also isn't in firstrm.ini...

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2003 4:58 pm Post subject:

the speed infantry died???
i was talking about the Chance factor in which they did or did not turn into a Viceroid

If u want to look at/change the speed in which they die just look at the Damage which the Tiberium Creates

in Tiberian Sun Retro i have Red Tiberium which kills infantry pretty damn quick Smile

I know what he meant, but changing the color of tiberium on the radar could work for the pip color also..........COULD

kopaka649 · Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2003 2:51 am Post subject:
