create black image of 1x1 pixel in any graphic software, paint will work, and name it bolt2_0 , save as .png or .jpg or .tga in qw/textures/models

Is it possible to change it??

Im sure some how, some way you can change the particle color???

Im no gfx guy by no means I'm just asking..

Can it be done??

And that question above is a good one.. Is the original shaft mdl allowed to be black in smackdown ruleset.

If so, would the new particle/ black shaft be allowed ??

i think its correct , try type gl_lightning 0 because there are two types of shafts - model one and second particle one

I wrote about how to get black .mdl shaft

Afaik, custom bolt2_0.png is NOT a cheat.

But particle shaft probably is.

overall, it's wise to use model shaft instead of particle one, as model is what is used in comps. So you'll have chance to get used to it playing with bots, pub games or pickups. QW shaft obscure view a lot when you are hit by it and getting used to it is important skill.

It was changed after QuakeCon to include grenades, rockets & nails as well.

/gl_custom_lg_color
/gl_custom_rocket_color
/gl_custom_spike_color
/gl_custom_grenade_color

also /gl_custom_rocket_fullbright (etc)

I only see a /gl_custom_lg_color with ezquake 3.0.1 and it doesn't seem to change it.

you also need "/gl_custom_lg_color_enabled 1" in 3.0.1 (just leave the colour cvar blank in 3.1)

By the way the custom color cvars don't work for me if I already have a replacement png in textures folder.
(Which makes sense, but probably has to be mentioned somewhere.)

there is no such commands in ezQuake v3.0.1:

/gl_custom_rocket_color
/gl_custom_spike_color
/gl_custom_grenade_color

wtf?


upd: sorry, i figured out that these commands are enabled only in version 3.1
p.s. when it will be released? )
