Component Re-skin Help - Components won't stop flashing

[Gazea2]

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?

....Any help?

JoeBlo, I'm looking at you. :P

[JoeBlo]

can you pm me the whole GMF, text file, etc so I can run it in my game ?

[Gazea2]

Sure. :)

EDIT: Done.

[JoeBlo]

ok I dont know if I have any time now, but I will have a look tomorrow morning (less then 12 hours :D)

[Gazea2]

Ok, thanks. :)

List of things that I've asked you for help on:

1) Tourney Arena
2) Components
3) Can't be bothered to list everything.

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

[JoeBlo]

oh right the arena.. I should finish that one off tomorrow too :P

[Gazea2]

Lol, don't worry. There's no rush.

Hehe... Joe, you are officially 'knighted'.

[Gazea2]

Er....Yay...?

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

Ok, thanks for helping. :)
