Are you frustrated with your blockmaker's glass? I know, its too dark. Today I will teach you how to change the Shade and the Color. First you will need to download the .SMA which you can download directly by clicking here. Now you will need to open up the .SMA, doesn't matter what you use, I use Pawn, but you can also use Notepad, Wordpad or any other word processing program.

Now you can use Ctrl + F to search for:

PHP Code:

setupBlockRendering(BM_GLASS, TRANSALPHA, 255, 255, 255, 50); 


Now you see 4 numbers. Which are RGBA. They stand for:

[R]ed - 255
[G]reen - 255
[B]lue - 255
[A]lpha -50

The number represents how much of that color is displayed. But the 4th one "Alpha", is how much of the model will be displayed, or how visible it is. Since the Blockmaker is set to use TRANSALPHA, it will use the 4th number.

You will want to change it from:

PHP Code:

setupBlockRendering(BM_GLASS, TRANSALPHA, 255, 255, 255, 50); 


to:

PHP Code:

setupBlockRendering(BM_GLASS, TRANSWHITE, 255, 255, 255, 125); 


Now your glass is brighter and much easier to see! You can edit the RGB to make it different colors. Hope it was helpful.

**I hope you already know how to compile .sma files!!**

If there are other common problems or questions with blockmaker I'd suggest you to try to expand your tutorial.

[micke1101]

adding blocks is (or at least was) very often asked for so you can add that (sure i wrote one in a thread in suggestions but that was a real crappy one )

Micke1101 thiere is already a tutorial how to add blocks.

Yes but it doesn't go into detail. It just teaches you how to copy a block. It doesn't teach you how to add blocks such as deagles or awps. I'll do that in the next tutorial I write.

If you mean a 'next' tutorial as a separate one - I'd suggest to just carry all important stuff together in this thread to make a list of blockmaker F.A.Q. and their solutions.

Do you mean to create one topic, and just create a list of things for users to go through? Sounds like a decent idea.
