For tool commands, when using tool, just type "tool" and press enter, it will show all of the commands. Eh, you know what, I'll get the list for you.

Updated OP higuy.

I can grab my copy of adjutant and upload it once I get back to my desktop. But the link in the OP to the 3.2 thread should work fine. (auto updates)

Quote: Tutorial from video

Here's how to do it.

1. Open up a weapon tag.
2. Make new function or edit a function in "Functions"
3. Turn on the checkbox in "always active"
4. Set the period to 1
5. Set "scale function by" to what ever letter is using the function and it has to be either: A in, B in, C in, or D in.
6. Set the bounds from 0 to 1 (leave the left box 0)
7. name the usage anything but for the purpose of this tutorial name it "firing music".
8. Now go to attachments
9. Set type to "sound_looping" and choose whatever sound you're going to use. Note: The sound has to be in stereo, ogg, class "game_event", and 22Khz
10. Set marker to primary trigger
11. Set primary scale by to the letter using the "firing music" function
12. Now go to "export to functions", select the letter using the "firing music" function, and set it as "illumination"

And you're done. Now compile the map and watch the weapon make music when it fires.
Note: The weapon has to be automatic firing to make the music going or else it will stop when it's not automatic fire.
Best results is when the gun has infinite ammo.

Not really. Let me know the author(s) so I can add w/e to the OP.

Still trying to figure out the best way to do OP, might end up moving everything to a seperate page to be linked in OP when it gets to be too hectic.

Anybody know if theres a limit to how big a post can be? or a host that can contain this stuff on a page? Dennis?

I can upload what I have, and just append later with other stuff/updates. I'm kinda limited in a few areas that I have no control over without the original shader--animation speed/animation direction. Looks better than gearbox's shaders, but its not 100% accurate to the originals.

256x8192 resolution bitmap for frame animation (32 frames). Might end up dropping resolution for the fact that the compiled bitmap is around 8mb's...

Go spam Korn and scythe's accounts asking to fix the old shader/replace it

Make sure you have backups in the chance you want to switch something back. I'm just including my entire c_dropship set. I made some changes to random things here and there (shaders/vehicle/functions).

Just copy and paste tags folder into your halo directory and merge/overwrite.

c_dropship tags

The masks and my frame bitmaps are blended ingame, double multiply is a good way to brighten/bring out color.

Quote: --- Original message by: waffles
The alpha for the mask's are for re-coloring the mask itself (think multipurpose cc alpha). I haven't gotten into the jackals or the portable shield so I haven't needed to use them really. They multiply color over the mask and that result is added to the animation.
