Assassin! Unit's Colors

Post by Viktor »

A while ago I made a couple multiplayer maps with some units from Assassin! (The map from the abandoned Daimyo project), namely the rifleman and samurai. They have some kind of primary and secondary color fields on them, but these for some reason do not translate into team colors (in multiplayer). So i decided to go back to this project of mine and put some more work into it, and one of the first things i wanted to do is to make these units support team colors. If anyone is familiar with this kind of problem, could you tell me what I must do, and does it involve using amber (I'm guessing it does). Again, the collections do have color fields on them that can be toggled, but these stay the same for each team in multiplayer...
Thanks!

Yes, it involves Amber to make hue changes. But I'm on PC and only Mac users can use Amber so I can't say how to do it.

As I thought. I'm a PC user myself which is why this is kind of a dilemma.

you have two options, of which one is obvious.

1. Buy a mac
2. Get on hotline and ask for help from someone with a mac.


As you can see, buying a mac is THE option. :)





If you see me on hotline, I have a mac.

Not a hotline... the hotline. :wink: The uDogs hotline.

Download this program if you are on PC.

http://hl.udogs.net/files/Hotline%20Fil ... taller.exe


If you are on a Mac go here and find the one you need:

http://hl.udogs.net/files/Hotline%20Files/Apps/Mac/



Install it.
Open it.
Click on the Servers button which is the world icon.
In the Servers window, click on Connect to Server which is the arrows icon.
In the Connect window where "Server" is at type "hl.udogs.net" and leave login and password blank.
I suggest clicking on the Save button so you don't have to retype the server. And a bookmark will be saved in the Server window which you can double click to log on the udogs hl.
Click connect.

You can click on the Options button to give yourself a name or change other settings like sounds and other stuff.

Tah dah! You are in the udogs hotline. It's the place where you can upload files to the udogs hotline site. You can use the hotline client to resume your downloads which you can't do if you download from the site without the client. It is also a place where a few Mythers hang around... like a Myth chat place. The people with red names are the ones with admin mystical powers.

It really is quite a nice mapmaking resource. Some heavy hitters of the map making world hang out in there, like me and Doobie (heh, no really the real heavy hitters like Ozone, Graydon, Horus, and other nubs, as while as the rare and elusive Ironzorz). Though usually a lot of people in there are AFK, you can usually find someone to help you.
