How to edit an existing ribbon?

[Kobiesan]

I'm trying to make a new ribbontrail like sprint for rogues except rainbow colored. I don't know where to start and I've found no useful information on converting the ribbontrail.m2 file to something useful or whether or not the .skin file is relevant. Does anyone have any idea?

Open the model with 010editor and run the m2 template.

Just edit the texture name and put the one with the rainbow. If you want to edit the ribbon texture id just go to the ribbon struct and change the "VTextures" id, but that's not necessary.

Check how my Whimsyshire Cloud mount works.

So I changed the gradient, made a new .m2 and .skin but it's affecting the original sprint for some reason?

Edit: Nvm I updated the original ribbontrail with the new gradient.

How do I make the name of the texture longer in 010 editor? It doesn't count it in it's name?

That helps a lot thanks.

One more question. I tried changing every texture to a different color for fireball but it's still orange and I'm not sure where it's coming from?

What fireball? I guess it's a particle. In that case open the particles and do this:


(Use any color picker, like the one from MSPaint, Photoshop, Gimp, etc.)

Example:

Nice. So I got everything mostly working. Except sometimes the particles will appear as green boxes. I can't seem to tell what causes it to happen, but it'll work normally then I'll log out or something and the particles become green boxes.

Green boxes are 99% of the time missing textures. You may have misspelled a filename.

It's weird though. I cast it once and the precast and cast are fine but the missile is a green box, then I cast it again and the missile is fine but the cast is a green box? Then I casted it again and it all worked fine. All of the textures are there.

Do I need to change the struct filename_ModelName as well?

Could you post a picture? Is it a green box or a green billboarded plane? Is the texture square or rectangular?

That's not necessary.

I can't seem to reliably recreate it. Once it happens again I'll post a picture. Do you want me to post the patch so you can try it?

So, I did power word: shield and I am 100% positive I am not missing any textures yet the green box thing still occurred. I logged out and back in and it was gone?

Yet you didn't take any screenshot
Try this: add a few "0"s at the end of your file and see if it still occurs.

Here's a picture of it happening with fear.
