The "original" hero color of electric blast?

Tenjoy · 07-18-2011 03:31 AM

Hi, everyone,

right now I'm trying to recreate the original color of the heroside Electrical Blast powers on a Praetorian dominator character. (Being a dominator, his powers' original color is the villainous red, unfortunately.) I've tried several combinations but I wasn't able to get a perfect match yet.

Now, I could go on and make screenshots of all possible color combinations for a pixel-by-pixel analysis, but maybe somebody already figured this out, so I'd like to ask whether you could tell me which color combination matches the original heroside version.

(Or am I out of luck and the original version used more than two colors, which would make it unique but unable to be identically copied?)

Thanks for any information on this,

In my experience you can't recreate the exact colour, but you can get really close. If your primary is elec control then set that to original colours since it's the same, then play around with colours on the secondary until they mostly match up. If it's not, then go into creating a new character as far as colouring powers and do it there, and note down which colours you ended up with.

I haven't tried an Electric Blast Dominator so I don't know if the colors match up, but couldn't you make an Electric Blast Blaster in the character creator, go to the Powerset Customization tab and see what colors are chosen for the powers? Mark them down, cancel out of the creator and then create your Dominator with those colors?

I really wish there was a way to start with the default colors instead of the apparently random ones we get now. Especially if all you want to do is use an alternate animation.

The default colours for powers frequently use seperate textures that use more than 2 shades of colour, hence the colourable version is not able to match the "default" in any automatic way.

I'm hoping that, with i21 and the ability to start any AT as either Hero or Villain, we'll get "Hero Default", "Villain Default", "Bright" and "Dark" for most, if not all, powersets.
