Creating a Glowing Custom Logo

Post by Maleister » Sun, 22. Jan 23, 11:08

I've a few posts on different sites about creating custom player logos and I'm still having issues with the glow map.
I've created the most basic example .PNG files to figure out what I'm doing wrong and I can't seem to get it right.
The image is a transparent .PNG
The file naming looks correct
I just can't figure out why it won't glow.

What step I am missing?

I recommend you download Ketraar's logo package to see how he has created them, especially the generic ones - Dragon, etc.

Hello,

I'm not sure, but I think the "glow" picture has to have the same colour at the glowing part. The background can be transparent or black. For this two I also created "normal" pictures, but they shouldn't be necessary for the glow effect.

For me the easiest way was to take the original, remove all what shouldn't glow and saved it as the "glow" picture.

The glow is currently broken in the 6.0 beta. Should work fine in the 5.1 build right now.
