Ok, Im going to put the Aurora Borealis in a map of mine, here is my take at it, I put a transparent plane in the sky, and then I have a rainbow like texture on it that scrolls.
is this a good way at going at this or is there a better way?
also, how can i make the neon light effect like the neon lights in carnage club map ?
oh, and is there anything special i have to do if i dont want a power plant in my map?

That is gonna look SO cool!
I think that should work if you make a long texture strip that repeats on the horizontal and just make that drift slowly across the plane...
To make a map without a power plant, just make the power plany controllers and don't worry about anything else.
I have no clue who made Carnage Club Extreme, nor do I know how to make the neon effects, but I could take a look in the w3ds in the mix...

Im not sure, but I think Neon effects like in Carnage Club are special Alpha channels of a texture. Check out the Alpha channel stuff your Paint program has, JASC and Adobe have this type of feature. I have never used it, but thats how to make a texture appear to glow for lighting or to make parts of a texture transparent (like ladders,between the rungs.)

Skint made Carnage Club Extreme (Gotta love that map ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) )
As for that effect - It's just a Dummy Object (Emitter).
