Changing the lights of stations from light blue to white?

Post by Def »

Hello there! :)

I would like to mod the lights of stations and ships as well as the city from the current light blue design to white/clean white. However, the customization kit does not contain any example station or ship textures. What do I have to do to replace these without having example textures or the original textures?

I would also like to know if there is a way to change the colour of station or capital ship textures (not only the lights but also the hull) since I also didn't find any basic textures for these in the customization kit ;)

Thanks for any help!

Kind regards,
Def

Here is a placement template. This will help guide you for where you need to place the lights in the 'lights.dds' image file. May require some fine tuning along the edges so everything fits properly.

This is great, thank you very much! :D Is this basically the same file for the cities, stations and ships? Or are there different light textures for every object with other sizes or layouts?

Thank you! :)

There are differnet emissive textures as listed in the kit for objects like ship frames and ship components. But cities, stations, and capital ships should all be sharing that texture, if memory serves.

Alright, very nice! :) By the way, version 2.0 is very nice! It's the third Evochron I bought and this time there's actually nothing I'd change as everything you could hope for is already there :) Yeah alright, besides that thing with the lights but that's simply just for fun... ;) I hope this version of Evochron will get even more people interested in the series! Keep it up! :D
