How to change contrails?

Nitr0 · 20/1/11 16:25

Can someone explain me how to adjust color of the contrails...
If someone has some time, can he do a little tutorial please?

Are you prepared to edit particles?

Nitr0 · 20/1/11 17:19

I am, at least I think I am

Nitr0 · 21/1/11 12:07

Anyone?!

Gumby · 21/1/11 12:26

I've been busy. If nobody else helps and I don't get around to it, bump this topic tonight.

Uh wrong topic...sorry >.>

Well, that was a bump, anyway.

Nitr0, if you are still interested there's a page about how adding contrails.
Then, for changing the color, you need to create a new particle: copy the existing one, e.g. "h2h_murtrail_e01" (complete file name "BINA3RAPh2h_murtrail_e01.oni"), convert it to xml, and change the file name and the color. "<Tint>51 178 255 0</Tint>" (First value is the transparency, i think.)

Edit: Ah, i forgot: the emitter ("_e01") links to the ("_p01") 'actual' particle file which holds the content we are interested in. (So you need both files.) The tint tag has the variable "color", so it's about that code:

                <ColorInterpolate>
                    <Target>color</Target>
                    <Color0>255 0 0</Color0>
                    <Color1>0 0 77</Color1>
                    <Amount>blend</Amount>
                </ColorInterpolate>

(Color0 is the start color, the tag stores the color values this way: red, green, blue. Hence 255 0 0 is red.)

In the end you should have 3 or 4 new files: ONCC, _e particle, and _p particle. (make sure _e links to the new _p), and TRAM if you have a "contrail_2".

For just changing the color of one character you should just need to edit the _p particle.

Thanks Paradox you helped me a lot

Hmmm...
I added particle to the foot of "TRAMTCTCOMcomb_k_k_k" animation and when I tried to export it back to .oni file I got this problem:

OniSplit says that there is a mistake in line 45, it couldn't find the <start> tag. See if you can discover the mistake.

Nitr0 · 25/1/11 9:35

This is what I have:

 
<Particles>
        <Particle>
               <StartFrame>0</StartFrame>
               <EndFrame>12</EndFrame>
               <Bone>LeftFist</Bone>
               <Name>contrail</Name>
            </Particle>
</Particles>

This is the 45th line: <StartFrame>0</StartFrame>
What do I need to change or add?

Try this:

        <Particles>
            <Particle>
                <Start>0</Start>
                <End>12</End>
                <Bone>LeftFist</Bone>
                <Name>contrail</Name>
            </Particle>
        </Particles>

You are probably using a more recent OniSplit in which the start and end tag was changed.
