Replacing models?

Post by rfriar »

I haven't gotten any replies on Reddit, so I'm going to try and see if posting here helps any...

If I wanted to replace the vanilla MEC's in the game so they look like those from Spectrum, how would I do it? [This is what I'm trying to get to.] (https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mo ... 256285.jpg)

You'd probably have to ask the Spectrum guys what exactly they did, but it looks like a retexture rather than a model replacement. That means finding the texture files and decoding how they work -- you'd have to ask an artist, 'cause that's outside my lane. Our AlienPack allows for some on-the-fly recoloring of units with simple config edits, but not sure if that was in use here.

For those all I simply did was change the slider for the tint for their materials in the xcom editor to the different colours and attached the changes to new archetypes that were used with the new character templates.
