Sun reflecting of weapon surfaces

[JJonth Cheeky Monkey 1]

How do I ake my model shine in the light like the BIS weapons in V1.75+.

Thanks

Select your model and press ctrl+E for Vertex Properties. Under 'Lighting', click 'Shining'. There you go.

I am not sure if I understand the question, but I think the question is not about "shining" flag, rather about specular highlights visible with HW T&L on some weapons. Check config sections CfgMaterials and CfgTextureToMaterial to see how this can be done.

Yeah that it Suma, sorry about the confusing question. Anyway I cant find anything on it.

Did you check commented config on Breathe web page? Look for cfgMaterials.hpp file.

*cough* the config in the breathe site seems to be from 1.46, which would be nice to be upgraded to the most recent version

Meanwhile there seems to be a config from 1.85(?) included in the binarizer zip where the cfgMaterials.hpp file is found.

Ok Ive found it and I haven't a clue what to do now.

I'd like to use this feature also...I was playing BF1942 and the Jap plane Achai is white and shiny.

I still don't know how to do this. Come on someone must know how to do this!

I put a cfgmaterials line in my cpp and I cant make it do anything...just need to see a model using the example

well i guess you could try the following:

Add a custom texturetomaterial section to your config:

class CfgTextureToMaterial

{

class CustomRifleMetal

{

textures[]={"data\m16_pmp_1s.pac","data\m16_pmp_ph.pac","data\m16_pmp_lod.paa","data\m16_pmp_lod_gif.pac","data\m4_1.pac","data\m4_2.pac","data\m4_miridla.pac","data\xm177_1s.pac","data\xm177_ph.pac","data\xm177_details.pac"};

material="#RifleMetal";

};

There you could put in your custom made textures.....

And then add a custom material definition to your cpp:

class CfgMaterials

{

class CustomRifleMetal

{

ambient[]={1,1,1,1};

diffuse[]={1,1,1,1};

forcedDiffuse[]={0,0,0,0};

specular[]={0.200000,0.200000,0.200000,0};

specularPower=5;

emmisive[]={0,0,0,0};

};

};

};

could be a solution......... and using the variabels in cfgmaterials you could also change the strenght of reflections and so *thinksofbratz'plane*.......

Wow ,Great ,Thanx!!! That is what I needed and I will be trying it again.

I only tried the cfgmaterials line
