ArturR Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Does anyone have an idea how to add shadows to third-party weapons? I added this entry in .ini file [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=10000 MaxVisibleDistance=100 but it does not work Quote
ArturR Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 I have set at unlimited but didn't show. Im using MGunny weapons pack, only stock weapon has shadows. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 a lot them in gunny's pak are missing a few lines (either that, or me running the SF2WepEd changed something) Make sure the weapo's lods are called out in the main ini, and add the shadow lines This is from the JM-117/GSC-1 I jsut released with the Misti F1 [WeaponData] ObjectFullName=JM-117 w/EO Kit ObjectDataFile=JM117-GCS1_data.INI [LOD001] Filename=BOLT117.LOD Distance=100 [LOD002] Filename=BOLT117-001.LOD Distance=250 [LOD003] Filename=BOLT117-002.lod Distance=500 [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=1200 MaxVisibleDistance=400 works as advertised! wrench kevin stein Quote
ArturR Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 Umm yes I edited ini and add entries for properly lods and shadow, but still they are not show, hmm maybe in 3dsmax must be something set?? Quote
+Crusader Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 beside having the shadow section in the weapons ini file, there are several names which must be identical : folder name of the weapon = ini name of the weapon = name of the main LOD = TypeName and ModelName in data ini of weapon many add-on weapons have not the correct matching name for the LOD - that prevents the shadow from showing up, despite having the shadow section in the ini Quote

I get the shadow for the left tank (Tank170_RF-104.LOD) but no shadow for the right tank (Tank170_RF-104R.LOD). At the moment I have this setup.

bwild Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Nevermind, got it to work. All that was needed was a Tank170_RF-104R.ini. [WeaponData] ObjectFullName=170-gal Drop Tank ObjectDataFile=Tank170_RF-104_data.INI [LOD001] Filename=Tank170_RF-104R.LOD Distance=3000 [shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=1000 MaxVisibleDistance=500 Quote
