Emergency Lighting Modifications possible anymore?

Hey, there is a much older thread on changing to client color of the emergency lights in Ns2.
Is this still possible?
Because there are MANY files that I can't find in the Lua folder.
Thanks!

All those files still exist. Are you sure you are looking in Natural Selection 2/ns2/lua

Just checked. The description still works just the lines changed slightly and some stuff was moved to PowerPointLightHandler.lua

awesome thanks bro

Yeah, the file if renderLight:GetType() == RenderLight.Type_AmbientVolume then (the second one) has HEAVILY changed. The guy said to change( for example ) renderLight:SetDirectionalColor(RenderLight.Direction_Right, color)
to renderLight:SetDirectionalColor(RenderLight.Direction_Right, color2)
and to do the same with the identical file on a lower line, but the 'identical' one looks like this
renderLight:SetDirectionalColor(RenderLight.Direction_Right, renderLight.originalRight)
how am I suppose to do that? Thanks for all the help, this is the first modding I've ever done for Ns2 :P

In case you don't know you won't be able to run this on any server unless it runs the mod itself

I figure I will just start a private server

I have a backup lua folder on my desktop for both paths, so if I want to play on public servers I can just switch back the lua folders

So, what do I do?

You need to use Launche.exe to create a new Steam Workshop mod, and set the server to load the mod.

Subscribe to your own mode and look inside your "%appdata%\Natural Selection 2\Workshop" folder, the first part of the name of the folder should be the mod id. eg "ma1b2c3d_123456" means the mod id is a1b2c3d

Hope that helps. There are guides on the modding forums about how to set up your own server.

Um, ok. Can I ask what do I do about the different luas?
