Lowrez Textures

Post by Null_1138 »

This is too weird, I have to imagining things. :runaway:

Yesterday, I started working on a set of civilian vehicle skins. One of them is a plain A-wing with blue wings, here is a picture:

I saved this into a folder with the rest of my civilian vehicle skins (don't worry, this comes into play later).

Then I started on a civilian Cloud Car. I looked in the Msh Viewer for the textures I would need, and I noticed that the Cloud Car's windows were blank white. I thought it was missing its texture, but that wasn't it. It simply turned out to be that the texture was stark white and had an alpha channel. I decided to see how this looked ingame, so I loaded up BF2 and Bespin: Platforms from the Convo pack.

The Cloud Car is irrelevant - not the problem. What happened next really spooked me:

That is a screenie of the lowrez textures on the A-wing (again, its from the Convo pack)... with blue wings. :shock:

What happened?

Your topic title, appears to have the answer to your question, you didn't save the lowrex texture properly or not at all.

Just take your new texture and resize it down to a 64x64 image, then find the A-Wing lowrex texture and overwrite it with your texture.

DRK, I'm not sure if you understand. I made a skin and saved it to a folder outside anything having to deal with BF2. That's the Convo pack's Bespin: Platforms, I didn't modify it at all. Does the lowrez texture of that A-wing model have blue wings? Or is BF2 somehow confusing my skin with the one that should be there?

So your skin has never been munged, it is not in your map folder in the addon directory if both those apply then I would say it is a wacko coincidence.

If any of the above apply
Your vehicle mod that you are doing what side name are you using? Where are you placing it after the munge? In the addon or in the games side folders?

Correct, I guess it is a coinidence, but after looking through any and all A-wing skins in the Convo pack vehicle assets, there's nothing to suggest that there should be blue on the wings. I guess I'll have to ignore it. Thanks Frag and DRK.
