- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
- Fixes issue where the stage 1 glow of the DE Sickle's overheat would cast yellow light on the environment instead of cyan
- Adds option to the Shield Backpack that turns off the shield bubble whilst keeping the cyan lights
Known Issues:
- The Talon's hit effect remains blueish/purple. (I’m currently unsure if this particle can be edited.)
- The Talon’s muzzle flash has an orange glow after firing. (I’m currently unsure if this particle can be edited.)
- DE Sickle and Talon share various effects, keeping one on but turning off the other may leave some cyan coloring.
- The Quasar's charge up effect also changes the color of rail gun's.
- The Shield backpack's effects when something impacts the shield bubble are slightly yellow
- The base of the Shield Generator may have cyan electricity due to shared effects with the Shield Backpack.
- Arc Thrower and Tesla Tower’s main lightning arcs remain their normal blue. (The particle file for this has yet to be found.)
- Laser impact effects for the Orbital Laser, Scythe, Dagger, Laser Guard Dog, and Laser Cannon sometimes have a yellowish glow.
To-do list:
- Recolor bolts for PLAS series weapons
I am planning to do a second overhaul which is more akin to a star wars blaster blue, however it may be a little bit before I sort that one out.
