Its got a name...

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

sadly "No" is the answer in most cases, one has to have source max file of existing model, as specular map is defined as separate material in Max

 

I was referring to our current mod aircraft, not really TK's.

[+hgbn 91]

Uhh we already using this feature in KAW

oh I misunderstood your post, yes we can, as hgbn added KAW planes use it together with great normalmaps

Nice - probably why TK likes to stay in charge - he can only be sacked by...........himself....that might be good enough reason to put up with all the ****

[JediMaster 451]

Those responsible for the sacking have themselves been sacked.

Unfortunately, specular maps in SF2 are called out in the .lod file, the same way textures and bump maps are. So unless one has the source file (or the .lod already has call-outs for them), they're out of luck.

 

So my next question I guess is where is the data for the height for the bump and the specular being pulled from? Separate BMPs? DDS?

 

Trying to figure out how to do this and my experimentation hasn't produced any results so far.

 

EDIT: Don't know why but I can't get the right materials to export. The .out never shows them. I have the latest exporter, or I should...

hmmm .... have you tried here ? : http://combatace.com/forum/270-thirdwire-sf2sf2vsf2esf2i-mods-skinning-chat/

[+GrinchWSLG 24]

Yeah, I got it figured out. Somehow I was getting the old plugins despite what the download descriptions said. I grabbed the newest one from TK's site and its working fine now.

[squid 21]

btw, he hasn't post any carrier related screens yet has he ? ......

[JediMaster 451]

I think that counts as "terrain".

 

Anyway, I've not seen any naval vessels and as mentioned we've barely seen any water at all, they're mostly shot co-alt or from below the planes. So while I'd like to think we'll see it before the end of the year, the dearth of shots of stuff that will have to be done first makes me believe we won't.

Going with Jedi Master devs release screenshots as they go along so time will tell if things are what we hope for or not.

You mean, it took TW almost two years to put decals on the Tomcat?

you know one of the hardest parts of modding is putting decals :p

[+SkateZilla 49]

they built and E-2C and EA-6B and a few russian planes too.

[+Stary 2,426]

wouldn't it be time to show something like errr cockpit... you know the plane from inside... or are we supposed to play this in external views? Could be interesting

[+SkateZilla 49]

tell JASF to move over, roflmao.

[Fubar512 1,350]

Gawd.....I wouldn't compare JASF with even the lightest of the "lite" sims.

 

JASF does have it place, though..... in an upright cabinet where one would feed it one quarter at a time.

LOL yep... external view only.. like a FPS

[column5 62]

"Light" sims don't need cockpits, anyway.

[+Stary 2,426]

new screenshot show some simulation aspects...

 

still no terrain shots though

 

j/k

[JediMaster 451]

Well, it wouldn't surprise me at all actually for this to just pop up with no real warning, including no shots of the terrain or naval vessels beforehand.

 

So, I don't EXPECT it this month, but I wouldn't be shocked to see it.
