familton Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I am working with a panel and some of my Simicons are luminous and some are not. How can I make all of them luminous. I saw one panel that had normal, bright and luminous icons. Is there any way to make three new sets of Simicons that are normal, bright and luminous? Thanks, Bob.

PhantomTweak Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Try going to THIS SITE, go to the Resources tab, then the Tutorial heading under that. About 1/4 of the way down, just below the gmax modeling heading is the file VC_Lighting_Tutorial.zip. I think that may have the answers you need. Maybe I am wrong. I am pretty sure it has to with the icon's BMP file, but as to editing those, I am totally lost, sorry.

familton Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks. I looked at it. This technique will only work with GMax models and is not for 2d gauges. Update: I found a tutorial by Opa (ckpl_tut.zip). It has a lot of the luminous icons but not the ones I needed. I tried copying the Simicons from Simicons1024 and modifying the two I need (Radio and Pedestal). I modified them to fit the scheme he used for all the others but it did not work.

n4gix Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Bob, try adding Bright="Yes" or Luminous="Yes" to each definition: With a bit of clever XML Kung-fu you could also switch between Bright and Luminous variations.
