Lights on weapons

I'm working with UT3 and was pointed in this direction. Anyone know of tut for weapon lighting? I'm trying to put a couple lights back on the enforcer since they dispersed when I put a custom texture/material on it.

You need an emmissive texture

Can someone tell me what the 24 is?

So let me make sure I understand it. From emissive to multiply and whatever the 24 is and you get weapon lights?

The 24 is a constant node set at a value of 24. You do not need to multiply your emmisive texture by a constant. But an emmisive texture (let's the material know what part of the mesh shines) usually would not be much brighter than the diffuse. But the higher that number us, the brighter the emmisive will become.

Okay its working but the black is a very light translucent gray, how do I fix that? I had to take a screen shot of the emissize in photoshop, dose not seem like the black is a true black.

Ya it has to be a true black to make sure that the effect of the multiplied constant does not apply to it

Ps: I just corrected my above explanation

I'm bbbaaccckkkkkk, with a new problem the default linkgun material calls for team colors in the emmsive for the plasma effects on the weapon, without a green color to work with the emmsive plasma is rather weak looking no matter the constant. How would I go about doing it, team colors is okay but would I be better with a colored texture?
