Been really sick the last past days, so i am home sick from work and all that, feeling a bit better so i thought I have a go at modifying the "hat" model for the officers. I got a lot of help from "DivingDuck" so far. But ran into some "texture" probs. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ainCox/HAT.jpg

As you can see the "tweaked" model loads ok, but all the textures are gone. I basically just loaded the model using Pack3D in to 3DS MAX and tweaked it and saved using the same settings as I did the rocks (further up in this thread) Any ideas guys?

Moin CC,

welcome to the world of TMAP. :damn:
I didn´t check the rocks you made. But they most probably don´t use the TMAP. But everything else in SHIV is using this damn section.
SHIII used it for u-boat interiors only, and I could avoid problems by just changing the vertex positions (hinges, periscope, hatch) without touching the number of vertices, triangles or faces. I just hex edited the changed vertex data into the *.dat. Thus all other information, such as TMAP, remained valid. And that´s the reason for not opening other hatches until now.

Regards,
DD

Ahhh...crap!. Ok I will read up on that Hexedit tut from privateer...been avoiding it until now. Will fiddle with it. Cheers man!

OT
 

OT, What happen to privateer anyway? Why was he banned for?

Looks nice for now, CaptainCox! :) Good work :up: Hope you'll get better!

Can anyone help me on my Bismarck/Nelson mod?

BANNED! no way. I think he is just bussy at the mo with work stuff...

:o :o :o :o :o No idea what happend there!...no...idea!

(nothing), accidently press the reply button.

@DD could you please elaborate a bit more on this.
Looked at the "sapca_o01.obj" modified/unmodified in Pack3D/MAX in HEX Workshop
and i can't really grasp what i am looking for here.

Cheers.

Hi man! The ONLY way you have to do this at the present moment is delete the Normal and Occlusion texture files of the object you are modifying. There is no other way right now, since Pack3D messes all TMAP info and it´s not possible to correct it manually (at least no one could be able to do it as far as I know). So, try deleting those maps... :up:

Cheers!

Ahhhh!, Cheers!. Will give that a go.

Could you pleas post a link t the mod? :D I see if I can help...
