Portal - Help!

Is it possible to change the color of the portal thing in the glass thingy? (lol bad at explaining)

Thank you.

The crosshair also, what program can I change the color of it if it is possible?

This is my signature.

Well, I guess it would be possible to change it somehow, since it's either a sprite or a particle effect. I wouldn't have the slightest clue how, though.

"Duct Tape is the answer."

I think it might be part of the model, I'll just check...
Doesn't appear to be, so it's probably a particle effect or a sprite.
Actualy, that makes sense.
I'll check to see if it's in the sprite list...
It isn't a specific portal sprite, but there are a few sprites like it in th esprite list. You can edit sprites in the same way you edit texture files.

Ok, thanks, but which sprite is it, specifically?

This is my signature.

It could be many sprites, there are at least 10 blue/orange light ones, So you'd have to figure that out.
I think the easiest way to find out is to write an email to valve requesting the name of the specific sprite.

Just a note on the crosshair bit...
I looked into that a bit for P:SI. While it's possible to easily change the design of the crosshair, the color is coded into either client.dll or server.dll. Omnicoder tried to help me find it a while back, but it's hard to do (specifically, to find the exact RGB to search for). If I do have any luck, I'll toss it up here.

I just looked at your mod again, and I see that you also need to change that colour that he is looking for. (The sprite or particle or whatever it is). Give us a heads up when you figure that one out.

Yeah, I've been looking into (and have had a lot of questions about) that. I don't know if it's a sprite or not; it may be coded, as with [I think] the crosshair colors. I'll do some more research and see what I can find out.
