Sorry guys, I have just made some space in my subsim inbox, but don't rely too much on it: until I do a major cleanup or upgrade my subsim membership, my PM space will get full rather quickly, in the meanwhile maybe we could exchange our private e-mail addresses

Can help me? A quali conclusioni eri giunto?
Thanks Gap  |
It has been a while since we investigated in those issues and I have only a vague memory of our conclusions, but all the relative information should be in my old
Historical Gun Specs thread. Maybe we should continue this conversation there, or in private if you prefer Italian over English

Nice work!
I never had any problem exporting dat-embedded TGA files and their alpha channels using Silent3ditor, but I am glad that you managed creating your custom skin anyway.
On a more general note, basic specular maps can be crated by desaturating diffuse maps and by adjusting their gamma as a whole, but the best results (and the most spectacular effects) can be obtained only by editing each material represented on those maps separately, and by adding to them detail that is not visible in the diffuse map.
