I would of thought that the whole Black to White spectrum would just be almost invisible, I'm not sure though, I haven't tried.Ummm.... you could try making them a dark grey. From my understanding of .dds and .jng files, black=transparent, but I haven't ever tried it.
Hmm dunno, I know that whichever color is chosen becomes highlighted, so it's brighter than the color itself.Try some real dark purple or blue then. Maybe green. It might look black and still show up.
duh thats what this thread is about- a workaround. Maybe someone with l33t skills in textures could tell us how to change the file format (so black is black) and not break the game. (EDIT: or do whatever just so that the trails are black. Anything. I'm desperate.)Black trails aren't possible because they just become transparent. I've already tested this theory out.
I got some nice CG trails when I added black in the middle. It looks like that CG shoots 2 thin trails.
