Make a red version of the Guardian Seeker's head light model

[oneofthe8devilz]

To be fair the text editor method didn't work for me but blender showed the references, but yea...

You just have to look for the shader name, it is one of the few things that "survive" the binarization process when the .lwo file is being saved/written and you can usually find it at the beginning and end of the file when opened with a text editor:

Example "models/mapobjects/airlock/airlockbrace.lwo":

In this example case the shader name is "models/mapobjects/airlock/airlockbrace" and the shader is defined in "materials/mapobjects.mtr"...

But did you try the LWO I posted? I just tried it in notepad and was able to read it better, but in ConTEXT, notepad++, and another text editor the output was too unreadable. Plus that is far from ideal. Blender gave the exact names needed.

[VGames]

Thanks guys. What Phrozo said was exactly what I needed. A way to change the skin via a script file. I already knew which material files it used by opening up the LWO file with notepad. The problem I had was I couldn't make changes to that file with notepad++ without corrupting the model. The script command is what I needed. Thanks.

Revenant is next. I figured red lights on his cannons would look good. Similar to his Doom 4 design.

Is there any way to resize these models through the script file? Or not?

[solarsplace]

Hi

No, this is not possible.

The only way to do this is import the model into a suitable modelling program and scale the model and export as a new model.

Have a look at the Kats Bits site for all sorts of modeling tutorials and import / export scripts.

I figured that. Thanks man.
