5133p39 16 Posted May 16, 2007 I need to know how can i make the *.rvmat files. I am able to unpack them via the ofppbo131 total commander plugin, but i can't pack them back into the "rvmat format" after editing. Does anyone know a way to do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5133p39 16 Posted May 21, 2007 What they exactly are? Used to define damage effects on vehicles? Material definitions? *.rvmat file is somewhat compressed/binarized/whatever config.cpp What i was asking is: does anyone know how can i compress/binarize/whatever the *.cpp file into the *.rvmat file? And yes, it contains something which i would call material definitions:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> ambient[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }; // array ambient[4] diffuse[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }; // array diffuse[4] forcedDiffuse[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // array forcedDiffuse[4] emmisive[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // array emmisive[4] specular[] = { 1, 1, 1, 0 }; // array specular[4] specularPower = 30; PixelShaderID = "NormalMapSpecularDIMap"; VertexShaderID = "NormalMap"; class Stage1 { texture = "ca\air\data\ah1z_body_nohq.paa"; uvSource = "tex"; class uvTransform { aside[] = { 1, 0, 0 }; // array aside[3] up[] = { 0, 1, 0 }; // array up[3] dir[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; // array dir[3] pos[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; // array pos[3] }; // class uvTransform }; // class Stage1 class Stage2 { texture = "ca\air\data\ah1z_body_smdi.paa"; uvSource = "tex"; class uvTransform { aside[] = { 1, 0, 0 }; // array aside[3] up[] = { 0, 1, 0 }; // array up[3] dir[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; // array dir[3] pos[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; // array pos[3] }; // class uvTransform }; // class Stage2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synide 0 Posted May 21, 2007 Mikero's Eliteness is the only tool currently able to 'Rapify' .cpp text files back into a binarized format. Mikero Oh, and the .rvmat files contain pointers to the 'normal map' and 'specular map' versions of their counterpart 'diffuse' textures which all and sundry have been 'skinning' to alter soldier uniforms etc. + some additional info for use by the 'shaders' for rendering.........

Törni 0 Posted May 21, 2007 I pumbed into these as I was trying to figure out how to make the game engine to switch damaged textures for a destroyed vehicles. (Still no luck but I'm actively looking for an answer) .rvmat is also used for texture layers in terrain if I remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synide 0 Posted May 22, 2007 @torni... .rvmat files may or may not be present for just about any texture in the game. If you are looking for specific 'damaged' textures for a given unit and/or object in the game you would track them down by looking in the config.cpp where the 'unit/object' is defined. eg. tracked.pbo>config.cpp class T72>class Damage As an example one of the .rvmat files mentioned is "ca\tracked\data\detailmapy\t72_metal_destruct.rvmat" If you unrapify this file into t72_metal_destruct.cpp you'll notice in Stage2 it refers to the texture "ca\data\destruct\vehicle_destr1024_1024_mc.paa" open this texture from the ca.pbo file...

Törni 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Damage effects should work with third party addons too. Currently they work only with BTR80. They work even with simple .paa or .pac textures. So it must be a class error in the addon configs. Have to do some reversed engineering tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
