How to make a part of the weapon glow? Like when you're on a dark map you still see it (I don't mean adding a light). |

Anyone?! |

I don't think I've ever seen a gun do that. You probably could reverse the normals on the model in whatever program you are using to export to .dts. I know that's what happened for my gun. It's barrel's normals were flipped and it had a shiny glow to it. Normals are basically the faces "flipped" the other way. So when a light hits it, lets say from the right side of it, it would be reversed shadowing giving it a glow. Instead of it casting a shade to the left side it would be lit up. Does that make sense? |

In the Blender DTS exporter, there's an option under the materials tab to set a material to "Self-illuminating". Make sure that the ONLY the part of your model you want to glow is linked to that material, and click self-illuminating. This makes it glow. |
