Ok, I'm directly editing the .tweak files....

How do i change the color of a smoke grenade (the smoke itself actually)? thanks.

Re: Smoke grenade

Going off of memory: Look for the effect that is used. it'll be e_something.
Not sure what format bf2's colors are in. Open up the editor and modify the color's of the effect.

I think it's DDS. I'm not completly sure, though.

Re: Smoke grenade

\bf2\Objects\Weapons\Handheld\hgr_smoke\hgr_smoke. tweak

rem ---BeginComp:DefaultDetonationComp ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent DefaultDetonationComp
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionMaterial 0
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionRadius 0
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionYMod 0
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionForce 0
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionDamage 0
ObjectTemplate.detonation.detonateOnWaterCollision 0
[COLOR="Red"]ObjectTemplate.detonation.endEffectTemplate [B]e_hgr_smokegrenade[/B][/COLOR]
ObjectTemplate.detonation.detectionRadius 0
rem ---EndComp ---

Now we know what effect is used by the smoke grenade. We then navigate to that effect:

\bf2\Objects\Effects\weapons\misc\e_hgr_smokegrena de\e_hgr_smokegrenade.tweak

Replace all instances of:

ObjectTemplate.color1 x/x/x
ObjectTemplate.color2 x/x/x

with one of the following:

[COLOR="Red"]ObjectTemplate.color1 1/0.282353/0.282353
ObjectTemplate.color2 1/0/0[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Lime"]ObjectTemplate.color1 0.458824/0.917647/0
ObjectTemplate.color2 0.501961/1/0[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Yellow"]ObjectTemplate.color1 1/1/0.501961
ObjectTemplate.color2 1/1/0[/COLOR]

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]ObjectTemplate.color1 0/0.501961/1
ObjectTemplate.color2 0/0/1[/COLOR]

Profit.

Re: Smoke grenade

Yeah you can use that code as stated above but if you also know the basic RGB colors and their values and how to mix them that i what they are using... so the brightness depeneds on what value you put in there. for example


If you want red you can put

[COLOR="Red"]ObjectTemplate.color1 1/0.282353/0.282353
ObjectTemplate.color2 1/0/0[/COLOR]

Or you can put

[COLOR="Red"]ObjectTemplate.color1 1/0/0
ObjectTemplate.color2 1/0/0[/COLOR]

Same for green you can put

[COLOR="Lime"]ObjectTemplate.color1 0.458824/0.917647/0
ObjectTemplate.color2 0.501961/1/0[/COLOR]

Or simply you can put

[COLOR="Lime"]ObjectTemplate.color1 0/1/0
ObjectTemplate.color2 0/1/0[/COLOR]
