Portal - Help!

[Stimich]

Is it possible to change the color of the portal thing in the glass thingy? (lol bad at explaining)
Picture:



Thank you.

The crosshair also, what program can I change the color of it if it is possible?

[Ricotez]

Well, I guess it would be possible to change it somehow, since it's either a sprite or a particle effect. I wouldn't have the slightest clue how, though.

I think it might be part of the model, I'll just check...
Doesn't appear to be, so it's probably a particle effect or a sprite.
Actualy, that makes sense.
I'll check to see if it's in the sprite list...
It isn't a specific portal sprite, but there are a few sprites like it in th esprite list. You can edit sprites in the same way you edit texture files.

Ok, thanks, but which sprite is it, specifically?

[hanging_rope]

It could be many sprites, there are at least 10 blue/orange light ones, So you'd have to figure that out.
I think the easiest way to find out is to write an email to valve requesting the name of the specific sprite.

Just a note on the crosshair bit...
I looked into that a bit for P:SI. While it's possible to easily change the design of the crosshair, the color is coded into either client.dll or server.dll. Omnicoder tried to help me find it a while back, but it's hard to do (specifically, to find the exact RGB to search for). If I do have any luck, I'll toss it up here.

i don't know, but ill agree with the others, it sounds reasonable

this post is going to keep this forum alive

I just looked at your mod again, and I see that you also need to change that colour that he is looking for. (The sprite or particle or whatever it is). Give us a heads up when you figure that one out.

Yeah, I've been looking into (and have had a lot of questions about) that. I don't know if it's a sprite or not; it may be coded, as with [I think] the crosshair colors. I'll do some more research and see what I can find out.
