shark texture

[INIQUITOUS]

im trying to help my friend out (with no luck), she's made a map and wanted sum sharks in it, so we found where to get the shark effect from, in the xeffects package. but when we place it and play the map, the sharks have no texture, they are just grey, but if we turn it into a mesh (just messing round) the texture appears fine. how can i get the shark texture to work on the "decoration-xeffect-shark" actor?

Hi!

It simple the best way is to create a new class with your props. and new styles.
For an Example.

create a new class under: decoration-xeffect-shark
maybe named 'NewShark'
And then open the script editor and make a new script for it.
Use this of help:

var() Material NewSharkTex

Function BeginPlay()
{
Skins[0]=NewSharkTex
//the you can setup new things like this : SetDrawScale(1.5) or do it random SetDrawScale(Rand(2)) but it has a little risk beacuse it can be wery big or too small
//And set the macro texture for a special function
//If you need to modify the base texture you must do it first in the program
super.BeginPlay()//if you know what you doing, you can del this line, if not youst leave it
}

The next thing is for the safety rules.This function keeps the 'NewShark' with his/her script changed options.
Function Tick(float DT)
{
if(Skin[0]!=NewSharkTex){
Skin[0]=NewSharktex;}
}

The texture ploblem is coming from: the original UT2004 content has the Shark texture as a FinalBlend and it's not created correctly.
The Poblem fixed that way:

Create a FinalBlend in Pakage MyLevel.
The set the material to the original Shark texture.
The it's recommented to set the blend mode to AlphaBlend.

The Shark<Finablend> texture will be stored in the level and it will be works great.You don't need to make a new texture package.
