New taxiline commands with different colors

Has someone already tried if it is possible to use the new taxiline coomands with another color then yellow? I also need to draw red and white markings on my airport and it would be nice if that could also be done with the new commands. But I have not yet found an option/command to change the color.Arno

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

Hi Arno,The commands do not control the colors, they control the tracing only. The lines are actually a texture with Alpha channel. If you want to modify the color you will have to modify this texture in a paint program but that will make your lines all through the FS world become wth the new color. The texture is located in the main textures folder I think. Open it with Imagetool to see how it looks like. I do not know if there is any unknown command that designates a texture name for the lines. Maybe anyone else can add something on that?Cheers!Michel

The texture is taxiway_marks.bmp located in fs2002/texture. Its a 128x128 pixel dxt3 file. The main image is just the basic (ugly) color. Easily changed. The alpha channel has the marks.Bob Bernstein

Thanks all, now I at least now it is a simple texture and no color command or so.I tried if it works if I place a simple SCASM texture command in front, but the taximarkings don't seem to use the last texture :( (I hadn't really expected it would work actually :)).I think I should only use the new taxiline command for my yellow lines and still use those small roads for my red and white lines :).Arno
