Title: Component Re-skin Help - Components won't stop flashing
Post by: Gazea2 on June 22, 2010, 01:05:41 PM
I've re-skinned loads of components but the maces never stop flashing. Here is the map:

and here is the .gmf:

Is there any way to stop it from flashing?

3) Can't be bothered to list everything.

Wow, it looks like I ask you for help on everything. :P

I'm guessing the problem here is that the mace has no TVERTS and TFACES.  It's like the round extenders and the DSL bars and similar components... you can only make it a solid color using MATERIAL_AMBIENT, MATERIAL_DIFFUSE, and MATERIAL_SPECULAR.


The solution would be to map out TVERTS and TFACES on a .bmp... but that would be really hard with the mace, since it's so irregularly shaped and has so many little faces.

well that explains why when I mapped a few components they worked expect for the DSL Bar

I had a theory to fix it but it wasn't that ^^ so it probably wont work :P
