RVMAT pathing help needed!

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

Atm, I am editing the OPFOR and BLUFOR soldiers to have different Normal and SMDI maps. I know BI's standpoint on Hexing, and I didn't want to go through all the hassle of hexing so a friend of mine recommended changing the paths in the RVMAT files.

I copied the RVMAT files into the texture directory, here's the path to RVMAT: "A3_Aegis\Aegis\ir\data\characters\clothing.rvmat" <-- SMDI and Normal maps in same directory.

Now, I have changed the paths inside to go to the custom textures I've made:

BLUFOR:

RVMAT Code is all above.

Ingame however, the normal, SMDI, and thermal maps don't show up. I honestly can't figure this out, anyone know how to fix?

Thanks in advance.

Solved.

Nice to read that you solved your problem. What was the problem? I myself am having trouble applying a new .rvmat file to an existing model.

Could you share what you did to fix your issue?
