[?] Crack giving it up

[smee]

Been doing a little sign and it doesn't want to show up in Bf2/PR I think i've done the textures right Dxt5 and alpha and shows up in max with the Directx shader. Just wondering is there any thing else I have to do.

Have used a static material for the model export. Other crk layers i have looked at just have alpha.

Some help if you could point me in the right direction cause i'm starting to crack up

cheers

I take it your using a Bf2_StaticMesh2 material when your exporting, not a DirectX Shader material?

it also looks like your dirt material aint showing up ingame. Do you have all channels, 1 to 4 UV mapped? if not give them a default box map or something at the very least and it then might work unless its anouther problem.


And yes, you really should give up Crack

Nice sign but ah give up the crack

Yeah was using bf2_staticMesh2 material that was the second material on the MET. put a DirectX shader to check that the textures that i was using was correct. Will have another look today.

And will try to give up the crack thanks for the support

I never use the DirectX shader personally, its very simple just to flip though each channel on there own and see how it looks in the BF2 staticmehs2 mat.

It avoids screwing anything up when switching materials

For real, they got the real fata morgana, when they go outside the gate.

Won't believe it untill I've seen a flying carpet outside that gate...

show us your UV maps for each channel, 1, 2, 3 and 4 plz.

Also, try adding a null bump texture to the de_b and the cr_b channels

Dirt

Just redid the crack one, only put 2 was trying to see if that worked with redo. didnt will try the de_b and the cr_b tomorrow too tired now

[Rhino]

Ye I'm pretty damn sure its because you dont any any bump textures, just shove the null_deb.dds in your NDetail and shove the null_crb.dds in your NCrack slots and I'm pretty sure that will fix it

[smee]

YEAH RHINO saves my sanity

it's there thanks wouldn't have thought of that. just added the nulls and rhino saves the day

[Rhino]

ye its one I always forget to and bothers me for like 10mins before I remember the crack dont work unless there are bumps in there hehe

[Glimmerman]

Like i mentioned earlier, we are looking for such a item for in our map Tarin kowt, so if you want to can you send it to me or [R-DEV]AfterDune when its 100% done?

Thnx.

[smee]
