What does this mod do? This mod makes it so every commander has the cool flashing effect that the power plants have Installation Until I submit this to PAMM(Its really late where I live, I'll do it in the morning) just replace base_commander.json file with the one provied and the imperial_base.json file with the one provided. If you are not sure where these are just go into your PA folder and open the media folder. Then follow the file structure in the mod folder to get to the files needed Github Repository Screenshots
This could be done to any unit. I'd wait until effects are on the GPU before doing much with them though.
Yea, its pretty easy. I did it to dox but at 200 the game got waaayyy laggy. But there is only one commander so
Would you do it to energy storage? (And change them to line instead of circle build while you're at it)?
I might release a mod that allows you to do this flashing thing to any unit. In which case I will add the option to switch from circle to line. If I have time in the morning I'll link you a replacement json file for the energy storage.
Everything should have a crotch light. More seriously, the light source is probably applied from the model origin (assuming 0, 0, 0 is the model centrepoint). That's just a huge guess on my part though.
You were pretty close If you look at the json to put it in I added it about half way up the commanders body(When you add it theres an effect origin point). This way the effect wouldn't be in the floor and it would effect the most of the commander.
Is it possible to change the color of the flashing, or are you just pasting the effect on there from the energy plant? I'm imagining my laser sats and nukes glowing an ominous red, etc.
