Textures not showing up on models in-game

[scorch_052 127]

I wasn't sure if this belonged in the modelling section since this isnt actually my model and I'm not actually modelling anything. Regardless, my issue is that a vehicle I am trying to port to ArmA 3 spawns properly, but has no textures.

I would really appreciate some help.

Need more detail than you have provided. "Porting" obvious can have 1000's of details.

I'm using [GLT']Myke's LHD addon from ArmA 2 to spawn the LHD as one piece in the editor. I took the "LHD" folder from the "water2.pbo" file from ArmA 2. When I open the ship in the editor, an error message pops up saying "Cannot open object bmp.p3d".

[[aps]gnat 28]

I dont think its your config

Based on that picture, likely you havent adjusted all the textures/texture paths and RVMAT definitions. Still pointing to A2 ones that dont exist .....

Black usually means a NOHQ problem.

[scorch_052 127]

Do you know where I need to place the texture paths?

I've figured it out, thanks for the help. nevermind, it still doesn't work. :\

[antoineflemming 14]

Um, you're porting an Arma 2 model, which will point to "ca\.....". Obviously you've simply moved the LHD folder from water.pbo. Your problem is that you're trying to port the LHD piecemeal-wise, taking what you think you need while discarding what you think you don't need. It's not that simple. Since the samples are available, I'd suggest getting the sample model of the LHD, and changing the pathname to whatever you want to name that pbo. You'll need to do that for ALL the textures AND the rvmats (your black texture issue, which you'll notice changes with the direction of the sun, is because the rvmats are pointing to textures the game can't find). As far as the bmp.p3d thing, not sure. Not sure why the LHD depends on the bmp.p3d model, but again, you're going about it in a piecemeal fashion. You're going to have to find the path to bmp.p3d (and find out why it's referencing that file) and then you're going to have to put that p3d in a new folder, and change the path of that p3d to your new folder.

[scorch_052 127]

I am using the sample model of the LHD but I do not know how to change the path the file points to. I've changed the texture paths in the .rvmat files but that has no effect. I also can't find where the bmp.p3d is called or referenced.

[AlexVestin 24]

Black can also be the detail textures not working. Stage 2 in the RVMAT.

[sakura_chan 9]

texture = "SC_LHD_Port\data\env_chrome_co.paa";

not

texture = "\SC_LHD_Port\data\env_chrome_co.paa";

you don't need the first "\". did you change the texture paths in the model?

[scorch_052 127]

did you change the texture paths in the model?

How do i do that. Do I have to open the .p3d? If so it wont let me because its binarized.

[sakura_chan 9]

Oh well download the arma2 content that was released, it contains the unbinerized model. Everyone was assuming you were using the unbinerized model

[scorch_052 127]

Okay I'm now downloading the sample models. I did not realize that the Licensed Data Pack was binarized.

[scorch_052 127]

So I've made some progress. The ship is no longer black and white and I've solved the "cannot open object bmp.p3d" issue (it was due to an unspecified model parameter in the config.cpp).

Unfortantely, I now can't seem to apply the textures to the different addons to the ship.

Missing Interior

Missing CIWS/SSMs

Missing Carrier Lights/Guidance Lines

I've specified the appropriate textures of the models, but it doesnt seem to be working.

[PuFu 4591]

it is because, as previously said, the model is made out of parts, and it seems you don't have all the parts put together

[scorch_052 127]

it is because, as previously said, the model is made out of parts, and it seems you don't have all the parts put together

Okay. So, I have all those addons that I must also define and place in the config and then properly attach?

[[aps]gnat 28]

SOunds like your first project. You've picked something very difficult. Maybe start learning on something a little less difficult

[scorch_052 127]

Gnat;2579594']SOunds like your first project. You've picked something very difficult. Maybe start learning on something a little less difficult

Yeah. I think I'll work on the destroyer and see if I can get that handled. I'm hoping to make a naval vehicle port.

[PuFu 4591]

Eah because surely the destroyer will be a lot easier

[Mickyan 10]

I'd like to bump this as I'm having the same problem (and the forums won't let me make a new thread. Spambot protection, I guess?)

I'm making a custom helmet and the model shows up white and the game complains that it can't find the diffuse texture, possibly because of the following

1. I have no idea how to set up addon packing properly, do my textures need to be in the data folder inside of my source folder when I link them to the mesh in O2? Does my source folder need to be in arma's directory or can it be anywhere?

3. I can't for the life of me figure out how to work with rvmats. Are they even necessary or are they just for adding more advanced stuff like normals? When typing the address of a texture in rvmats should I type the whole address (C:\...\ArmA3\myaddon etc ) or just "myaddon\data\texture.paa" ?

I've been modding for like a dozen different game engines, arma so far is giving me the most trouble :(

Edit: Well now, turns out the pbo packer wasn't set up correctly. FML. Still, I'd like some clarifications about rvmats, where can I find some proper templates to see how they work?

Edited February 6, 2014 by Mickyan

[x3kj 1247]

the right texturepath is "\myaddonfolder\...\texture.paa" not sure if you need .paa, but it doesnt hurt. If you have C:/... in your path, other people using your addon will not see textures because they dont exist in that place on their machine

you dont need rvmat for the diffuse map to show up
