Black ships

[seaplate hitman]

I added one tanker from SH3 to SH4.
But the ship is black and maybe is disable.
Can somebody can tell me what is wrong with with the texture?

You'll need to see if the "Materials" (the ships texture images) are either embedded in the model with SHIII, or are they in the Textures/tex/TNormal/ folder? A lot of SHIII has their Materials actually in the ships .dat file...if so SH4 may have a hard time finding them. Seems SH4 looks for the materials files in the Texture folders before it looks for them within the .dat file.

The reason the ship looks black.....the game doesn't find the materials image.

By the way, what's up with the mast's not sitting on the ships deck?

SH4 models are more advanced that the ones in SH3 and support ambient occlusion maps. SH3 models don't have them, so you'll either need to bake one yourself:

Or 'cheat' and make one that is all white.
