eggbeast 3673 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) ok we have one type of unit: our PBR crewmen who flicker dark and light when you rotate your head from side to side screenie: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/eggbeast/pbrcrew-1_zps73be4aad.jpg it was made by yac some years ago and we can't work out how to fix it some elements from the config: class Uns_bw1: SoldierWB etc model = "\Uns_pbrcrew\uns_bw1.p3d"; class Wounds { tex[] = {}; mat[] = {"Uns_pbrcrew\data\bw1_hhl.rvmat","Uns_pbrcrew\data\bw1_hhl_w1.rvmat","Uns_pbrcrew\data\bw1_hhl_w2.rvmat","Uns_pbrcrew\data\bw1_body.rvmat","Uns_pbrcrew\data\bw1_w1.rvmat","Uns_pbrcrew\data\bw1_w2.rvmat"}; }; they use textures like this: detail: detale_co.paa which looks like this - it has correct paa format and a completely white/blank alpha channel http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/eggbeast/detale_co_zpseb169db3.jpg main body - again paa with blank alpha channel: uns_bw1_co.paa http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t247/eggbeast/uns_bw1_co_zpsa68994d9.jpg this seems to be the texture thats going black - notice in the screenie that the detail (belt) and hat dont change colour ok so the rvmats look like this: bw1_body.rvmat ambient[]={1,1,1,1}; diffuse[]={1,1,1,1}; forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,1}; emmisive[]={0,0,0,1}; specular[]={0,0,0,1}; specularPower=1; PixelShaderID="NormalMapMacroASSpecularMap"; VertexShaderID="NormalMapAS"; class Stage1 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\uns_bw1_nohq.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage2 { texture="#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0)"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage4 { texture="#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage5 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\soldier_body_as.paa"; uvSource="none"; }; flakjacket.rvmat ambient[]={0.99999899,0.99999899,0.99999899,1}; diffuse[]={1,1,1,1}; forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,0}; emmisive[]={0,0,0,1}; specular[]={0.21960799,0.21960799,0.21960799,0.77999997}; specularPower=35; PixelShaderID="NormalMapSpecularDIMap"; VertexShaderID="NormalMap"; class Stage1 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\uns_bw1_nohq.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage2 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\uns_bw1_smdi.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; kabura.rvmat holster - works fine ambient[]={0.99999899,0.99999899,0.99999899,1}; diffuse[]={1,1,1,1}; forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,0}; emmisive[]={0,0,0,1}; specular[]={0.21960799,0.21960799,0.21960799,0.77999997}; specularPower=35; PixelShaderID="NormalMapSpecularDIMap"; VertexShaderID="NormalMap"; class Stage1 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\detale_nohq.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage2 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\detale_smdi.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; m1.rvmat boonie hat - this works fine ambient[]={0.99999899,0.99999899,0.99999899,1}; diffuse[]={1,1,1,1}; forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,0}; emmisive[]={0,0,0,1}; specular[]={0.286275,0.286275,0.286275,0.60000002}; specularPower=34.599998; PixelShaderID="NormalMapSpecularDIMap"; VertexShaderID="NormalMap"; class Stage1 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\m1_nohq.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; class Stage2 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\m1_smdi.paa"; uvSource="tex"; class uvTransform { aside[]={1,0,0}; up[]={0,1,0}; dir[]={0,0,0}; pos[]={0,0,0}; }; }; detale.rvmat detail - this works fine ambient[]={1,1,1,1}; diffuse[]={1,1,1,1}; forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,0}; emmisive[]={0,0,0,1}; specular[]={0,0,0,1}; specularPower=1; PixelShaderID="Normal"; VertexShaderID="Basic"; class Stage1 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\detale_nohq.paa"; uvSource="none"; }; class Stage2 { texture="uns_pbrcrew\data\detale_smdi.paa"; uvSource="none"; }; is it a setting in the rvmats? or a missing alpha or a shadow setting in the model? as themodel lights up fine when you look at it from one angle, i'm sure we can fix this with a change to maybe one line in config/rvmat... or maybe adding an alpha to a smdi or something - i have no idea... has anyone seen this before?

eggbeast 3673 Posted February 14, 2014 fixed it! von knudenberg is my hero I don't think that was the problem as they work just fine now without touching rvmats. I've seen some weird problems before when rvmat is binarized along all the other stuff. When it is copied, but not binarized, they work ok.Of course I can't be sure, I don't have so much experience with rvmats, but stage 3 is usually for macro texture (MC) and there isn't any macro textures for the b1_body. The two wound textures have macro texture wound_MC.paa. they look peachy now - all ready for a river patrol in the mekong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
