What tools and knowledge I need to create modification?

[Draconisaurus]

Soooo Tres does have options there. Find those start triggers and fiddle with the settings. Trespasser Millennium (see sig) has included the various sets of start triggers from all retail levels+, found in "Tres_Millennium\Shell Generator\Import_Base". Without going to look, IIRC clut is the min/max color-shade settings, which can be tweaked to disallow colors or otherwise generally bias the span of visible allowance. Also the AmbientLight can be set at various strengths.

Dah! So now I really do not know?



Why is my model modeled and displayed correctly in the Editor, but in the game it changes size.?

[Rebel]

I'm not the expert on modeling, but I'd say your model scale is off. When I model something, I generally
use an existing model so I can match the correct scale, or for instance, If I need to rescale a dinosaur or
other animal, I import an original model then either scale up or down to match the original. Then, delete
the original and export my own. That's how I get the scales right -

Let me guess: you attempted to replace an existing model in-game with your own model, using the same name. Well, in order for it to work properly, as Rebel may have already mentioned, it needs to be set to the same scale and have the same alignment as the original. From what I can tell, the $physics objects are in the proper place but the tree is rotated,right?

[Draconisaurus]

There is one other issue I'm pretty sure I'm seeing: the object is changing is overall shape as well? This happens with physics when the pivot is not centered on the object, which is required. Note that Max's center-pivot option does not fit this. Either find a way to manually adjust the vertices, or.. which 3D app are you using? There is a tres-dev max script which can do it. As well, one quick and dirty option is to create a random box, give it the location/orientation coords you want model-X to have, then via mesh editing you just attach model-X and then delete the mesh of the random box. That's how to do that in 3ds Max, at least.

Does it increase the space in the inventory by one place?

[Draconisaurus]

So basically... You know how normally a stowed item is either placed on the hip or the back? This lets you have both at once. So, not all combinations of 2-stowed-items are possible, AND there's a key-press needed to use it which escapes me.

Might wanna point out that Draco is talking about if you enable a function in the CE patch .ini file ;P

Hello everybody. I tried to add to the Bumpmap to object but the editor and the game didn't show anything.

(Click on thumbnail for full size)

Code: Select all

material "PC.mat01"
{
 colormap = "Map\TestScene\PC06-01.bmp"
 bumpmap = "Map\TestScene\PC06-01b.bmp"
}

How is it possible ?

[machf]

It's possible simply because GeomAdd never got support for adding bumpmaps to imported objects. The most you can do is replace an already existing bumpmap with SWPadd.

And Trespasser CE will replace bumbmap with Normal map (inserted into / tex / folder)?

[machf]

I think that's how it works, yes. But I think you need to place there also the texture map, not just the normal map by itself.

Hey Melber, how's the mod coming?

[Melber]

Hey Melber, how's the mod coming?

I have a new job. But I'm coming back home late in the evening. I am often tired, that's why I only work on projects on weekends. And that is little time. I still have a lot of work ahead.

Yes - you have to give it the extension ".norm.dds" and it should work fine. You can control specularity by making it more or less transparent as well. So if your texture is called "tdinosaur00t2.bmp", the texhw files would be "tdinosaur00t2.dds" and "tdinosaur00t2.norm.dds". I use .dds files as I find them to be the most flexible, but I think .tga and .bmp images work as well.
