missing textures and command room stuff

hawkza · 07-06-10, 01:43 PM

hi all

cant believe im doing this as I am no modder and have no experience in modelling let alone 3d animation but oh well here goes.
I have browsed the forums here quite a bit and have come up with no conclusions to theses two problems.

so I’m thinking i will try fix them myself and if I get it right maybe release it as a mod for the rest of the community.

The first issue is in the rear torpedo room on the 7a there are textures missing by the battery meters or what i am assuming are the bat meters

the second problem I found was yet again with the 7a in the command room there are two look like old shout pipes just above the maps table at navigation that are missing a piece (i.e. not modelled properly)
And you can see right through them

Now while I am no rivet counter

I do like my sub to be complete and these inconsistencies are starting to grind me a bit

if the community here has any solutions links to mods or suggestions
id be grateful of any help or hints i receive

I don't think this image is missing. It just needs to be set as double sided. if it is not doubled sided, you can only see the image when looking at the front side and it appears to be missing when viewing the back side.

Yes, I would like to see the communication tubes fixed. However, the electric gauges are already in the process of being redone by BIGREG with some assistance from me.

A lot of the modders here started small, so I wish you all the best with this project.

Also WELCOME ABOARD!

awesome

wow you guys work fast

So ill concentrate all efforts on the comms tubes then

Witch seems to be an easy fix using the goblin editor that comes with sh5

Now if I can just figure out how to use it it should all be fine

Install 3divia screen capture.
Fire it up.
Open the GR2 file with Granny viewer.
Deselect the parts you don't want captured.
Grab the 3D model with 3divia.
Install the plug in for Maya and import the capture.

Any questions?
Just ask.

And tell Thor I said Hi!

On the subject of missing textures, and other graphical problem in the interior, you should read the last page or two for my interior mod. I have been doing some pretty interesting fixes using the shadow maps. It is very tedious, but the results are very promising.

my granny viewer is not for some resone displaying textures at all not sure if this is normal but thought id ask

Hi hawkza,

The Granny Viewer looks at the absolute path for the texture.
So if you see something like
D:\blah blah\blah\texture.dds
You must create that same path.
I did a DVD with all the textures placed in all the paths I could find.
That worked.
Till I needed more paths.
(I'd locked the DVD!

)
So I used an external HD to do this.
Now I can create paths as needed.
