guys

im a bit in a struggle here

Ive exported a AT for the Normandy mod.

Now i loaded the files in the editor but the texture's are gone, the model is turnd 90 degrees
the editor give this error

Ignored Warning[RendDX9] : Texture not found: prww2/prww2/objects/weapons/handheld/usat_m1a1/textures/diffuse
Ignored Warning[RendDX9] : Texture not found: prww2/prww2/objects/weapons/handheld/usat_m1a1/textures/normals
Ignored Warning[RendDX9] : Texture not found: prww2/prww2/objects/weapons/handheld/usat_m1a1/textures/specular

the hierarchy is



texture layout



once exported

i get these files

m1a1.CON
m1a1.bundlemesh
m1a1.collisionmesh

the texture folder has a
Diffuse.DDS file
normals.DDS file
specular.DDS file

in the editor it show as this

The last export you did was better, it displayed textures at least (still wasn't entirely right though). Weapons usually have a _b.dds and _c.dds.

Can someone explain to me what these are actually called?
Both textures also have an alpha layer.

For the Bazooka, we have a Normal, Diffuse and Specular image.



Also, as you can see the issue with this export is that the weapon is rotated 90 degrees vertically. Not good.

erm i sent you already an older export witch dos not show here texture's ... can you post a editor pic dump ?? maybe a flaw of the editor on my side

I viewed it with bfmeshview, which either needs the correct texturepath, or have the textures in the textures folder .


Edit:
Just viewed it again, you're pointing to:

prww2/prww2/objects/weapons/handheld/usat_m1a1/textures/diffuse.dds

It should just be:

objects/weapons/handheld/usat_m1a1/textures/*.dds

But that can be changed without exporting the weapon, no problem. My "issues" are that it's using 3 textures now (normal.dds, diffuse.dds and specular.dds), while I think it should use only 2: [name]_b.dds and [name]_c.dds (with alpha layers).

That, and it's rotated .

Yeah put your specular map in the alpha layer of your diffuse, that is how bf2 uses specular maps, rather than having a separate map for specular.

Should be something like
Diffuse_c.DDS save as DTX5 if you are using the alpha map for specular.
Normal_b.dds Save as DTX1 if you are not using the alpha channel for anything in the normal map.

Your hierarchy is completely wrong, even if it's not the reason why the textures aren't displayed.

The main mesh should be called "weapon_name__GenericFireArm" and the other parts should be connected to this main mesh with numbers going from 1 to X.

Are your export tools well set up ? It may be the issue.

@ Hauteclocque

i used the export tutorial from Junk (bfeditor.org)

i just reexported, some how it now has texture's on it

tools are setup correctly



but now its still 90 degree's turn'd is this blamable of the wrong hierarchy

Reset the pivots of every part after having checked the weapon points to the right direction. (import a PR model to check this). It should fix it.

Also in the second screen of your first post, instead of bundlemesh_texture, it should be ColorMapGloss, otherwise you'll have shiny textures ingame.

as far i can tell (imported a US army soldier to max) it points to the correct position. Scalin is also good.

pivots are all @ X0 Y0 Z0

i have renamend the bundledmesh name to ColorMapGloss ty for that tip

weapon keeps pointing to the sky (maybe it whant to be AA? )

edit

import a AT4, weapon hase same direction, its a bit longer but other ???

this is the current hierarcy


mmm the editor see's the weapon as a Simple Object?? whill its named as a GenericFireArm

if i load the LAT4 it dos say GenericFireArm ??

Sorry, I meant reset transform...it should fix the rotation.

Ok treid it as last hing before jumping to bed. Not working

Hmm...send me the export scene, I'll take a look.

Here you go:


The numbers weren't linked to the GenericFireArm, hence the Simple Object issue.

Also you needed to reset transform for each part of the hierarchy.

Nice thanks for the help

checked object in editor, no texture's

Can anyone send me the exported files? Then I'll try to code it.

if every thing whent well they shut be in you inbox
