I was wondering if there was a way to put elites in multi player. I know this has been asked before, but I'm thinkin if someone used texture inject, and maybe you could set the different color options for MC to covenent. Like blue would be normal MC's, and Red you could change the model to elites

just thinkin

one problem about your idea, both red and blue team use the same models.
the only way this could work is if someone changed it to that one on the teams uses a diferent model, and inject all of the elite's model info.

sounds like a job for Dmauro!!!

there are other people out there than Dmauro that can do this stuff

I'm working on it now .

The only problem is that the Elites have their bitmaps split into specific body parts (arms, torso, legs, etc) where as the MC is just one model (Cyborg) for bitmaps. I'll try to see what I can do, but there are most likely others who could work around this.

Well, after alot of saving of dds files and viewing in Photoshop (all the Elite bitmaps I could find from PoA and all the MC bitmaps I could find from BG), I've realized that it's (using what's available to me) practically impossible to replace the Elites bitmaps over the MC's. Even if I could save the elites individual body parts per image and then literally paste those over the corrosponding MC body parts, I wouldn't be able to view certain Elite Bitmaps (some of them were very "pixelized" and unviewable...like some old arcadian game) in the first place. So unless someone can find someway to get their Photoshop or whatever they use to edit dds images to save and view DXT2, I don't think anyone will be putting Elite bitmaps in BG, or any other Multiplayer map for that matter.

Whew.

but that is just the texture not the model
for it to look like the elite it needs the elite model AND texture not just texture
thats like making the banshee texture to that of an elite

see what i mean

Lol, I should've thought of that before. I've been working with texture/bitmap swapping all day, I should've realized what I was doing wrong, lol. Thanks for clearing that up.

no problem
