This method can be used for any other mod that have exportable prop models, like the
Thor V2 for example 😎
***
In the actual version of Superman V2 script is possible change the color and even the shape of the Laser and Blast beam. In this guide i will show how to customize the colors.
You can watch this guide being executed in this video.
1 - Install the mod 😁 (Choose mods folder when installing package 1)
2 - Using OpenIV navigate to "mods\x64c.rpf\levels\gta5\destruction\interior\des_vaultdoor.rpf"
3 - Right click the file "superman_laser_blast.ydr" (the Blast beam prop) and select "Export to OpenFormats..."
Tip: To make easier find the file you can filter the list by typing "super" in the Filter box on right top corner.
Choose a folder where you want save the files and click in "Select Folder" to save the files.Navigate to the folder where you exported the files, there you will find a folder with the name of the prop ("superman_laser_blast") and inside this folder you will find the files exported, some of the files are image files in image format (Depending on what you choose in step zero), you just need to edit those files to edit the color of the Blast beam.
4 - After finishing editing the image files you can import the model back to the game with the edited image files. Make sure the game is closed and then click in the menu "New" and then click in "Import OpenFormats"
5 - Select the file "superman_laser_blast.odr" that you exported in step 3 and click in "Open", in the next window that will appear click in "Ok"6 - Done, if all goes well, the file will be imported with the new image files that you edited:
Basically this is what you need to edit a exportable prop model texture (some models can't be exported by OpenIV because they are protected when importing).
You can apply same idea in the file "superman_laser.ydr" to edit the Laser beam prop of Superman V2 mod.
Using this idea you can even change the shape of the prop model using 3ds Max and the GimsEvo plugin importing the ODR file to edit.
