Attempted ArmA 1 mlod port... Semi-Failed?

Recommended Posts

Heyoh! So been playing with arma 1 mlod to get something done for a certain mod, got a civil ported however some strange things are going... With his body it is...

As you can see on the screenshots below:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzrt909kqujadu2/arma2oa%202013-05-28%2003-07-09-37.png - Weird shadows, I suspect from the glasses or something?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5rdc9vh1idrx09v/arma2oa%202013-05-28%2003-07-15-50.png - Not sure how to say this... But for some reason he has orange skin, well half of it.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8khyq7yqy74ten/arma2oa%202013-05-28%2003-07-19-49.png - glasses off the face, floating, proxy placed wrong or something?

Thank you :)

EDIT: Confirming that the glasses problem HAS been fixed but the weird shadow is still here https://www.dropbox.com/s/hwvvxv3rfn1cuam/arma2oa%202013-05-28%2003-41-19-22.png So is the orange skin

I think that you can find the solutions to these problems by searching. You are not the first person to be porting an a1 mlod.

Of course I do believe I can, I did but keyword is a bi... Did look but maybe couldnt find it... Or Im just searching by wrong keywords...

Either way, I surely will look at the weird shadow caused but orange skin...

Very strange! I just looked for orange skin and it didn't turn up anything. I have seen this problem discussed before, same with the proxy issues.

No just seen this now, problem is ArmA 2 BI Sample Model download links are all down...

EDIT: Fixed the shadow bug, non-closed business :3

I would of taken them from Vilas's Mlod Pack either way but DL is dead for it as well.

I wish I could hug you for that! It seems that only armaholic has it up, Why did I forgot about that site :'|

But the orange skin continues on! It did not fix it but surely did update the model with arma 2 stuff

Righto! Thats fixed! no more orange skin, seemed to be a problem with rvmat however one more thing is left which I didnt see because it was saturated by the orange skin is this...

Rather creepy for me, there is no texture nor rvmat allocated to the legs, it was before and had the same problem. The rest of the body is fine, it takes what it needs from hhl.

Those are the fingers from the face / hands texture, I guess. You'll have to change textures for the legs and probably make a new rvmat for them if the a2 guys don't have any bare legs. I'd imagine that the a1 textures won't have a subsurface scattering map so you might need to make one. I admit I'm not the authority on a2 characters tho.

Well that sounds... Rather hard despite that if I create the texture for the legs I would of have to make million of them for each skin tone...

you should be able to use the textures from arma 1 plus 1 subsurface scattering map for all skin tones, I think.

Modding ain't easy. If it was, everyone would do it... but, maybe you would have better luck converting some character without shorts.

Shorts is my priority for the mod that is the problem and I need the skin to be in Takistani skin color...

One other way is to... Use women leg texture but that will look just hideous but might try

So I have used ArmA 1 hhl texture on the legs however it still has the hands on it O.o? changed the leg texture in all lods 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5 and View Pilot and nothing.

EDIT: Re-done the port, but the legs still not having texture, this time I made sure it is using textures from arma 1...
