Alpha Image
Ok we all know that cool little lamp post that has the light emiting from it in a round circle the AlphaLampPost or
[TSTLAMP]
Well to get this image it calls for it using this line
AlphaImage=ALPHATST
but what is ALPHATST and where is it called from, is it straight from the .exe or what
also is there any other values u can put here, maybe something that would give the same kind of alpha image this lamps have emitting from them in these very early beta screenshots
Well in the screenies you can see these huge lamps that
1) emit light
2) have an alpha image that differs from the one we know
Also i didn't find ALPHATST in the mix files either...so it should be somewhere else right? Maybe the name itselfs gives a clue... ALPHA is clear... but what does TST mean??? Tiberian Sun T?
i dont know, maybe test lamp? but what i know is that that little obelisk was the original nod laser turret _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

I understood it perfectly.
Of course, you talk that way too... LOL
But anyway, back to the subject... or well, back to the obelisks.... i guess that when they made that movie,
1) Nod either had only one kind of laser defense that looked like an obelisk but was smaller and less powerfull... (something in-between the laser and the current obelisk)
or 2) the old version of the laser (see topic in TSR forum) was a replacement for the obelisk.. because it looks far too powerful on those screenshots... QUICK_EDIT

dvd the 1st idea is correct and i was saying that!
The old laser turret, when i say that it does not mean excactly that it is this release version _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

dude, the first one is not correct
in that very old beta screenshot you see a Obelisk of Light
THEE obelisk of light, not a laser turret or a mini obelisk
There are many many things different in the FMV's compared to the game, a really obvious and recently discussed one is the laser turret, looks utterly different ingame to the FMV's
The obelisk in the FMV looks alot more like what is in this extremely old beta pic
but u see the laser turrets out side of the base... these are laser turrets
the obelisk is the obelisk
the fact that it does hardly any damage and has different noises is irrelevant, things in the FMV's are always different (often better) but sometimes not _________________ QUICK_EDIT
in short u would have to change the file it relates to in the conquer.mix
also put it in same pallete, i have no idea of results but it would probably look really dumb and faulty
anyway if u really wanna know how to do all that ill give u more info
Well the only info i really need are what pallette in uses, and to what file in conquer.mix it relates... i didnt find it. BTW, the light spot is also some kind of alpha image right? it's just moving... QUICK_EDIT
maybe it works like use this image and if it is not use the image specified in Image= _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
