Use a custom light gem?

Hi,
I wasnt quite sure which category this went under, i hope this is the right place.

I was wondering if it is possible to use a light gem from one FM on another one?

Thanks,
Melic.

Certainly! You just need to ask over (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=85) here, specify which one, and wait until someone makes the necessary files for you to install. ;)

In a nutshell, in the .zip folder for the crystal you want to use, in the folder obj/txt16 you'll see a series of .gif's called CRYTEX01.gif up to CRYTEX17.gif. You just put those files into the .zip folder of the FM where you want the crystal, in the same folder obj/txt16, and it will override the normal light crystal. I think that's all there is to it; hope I'm not missing a step.

There are also BIN files for each of those. The light gem (and health shields) use actual object model files.

I've always thought it would be funny for an FM to have a room full of health shields. Unlike the light gem models, which are just a flat plane, the health shields really are 3D shields.
