Vehicle Colour

How do I make Chrominess work?

Code:

singleton Material(Raven_R60_Body)
{
    mapTo = "body";
    diffuseMap[2] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    specularMap[2] = "vehicles/common/null_s.dds";
    normalMap[2] = "vehicles/common/null_n.dds";
    diffuseMap[1] = "vehicles/common/null_d.dds";
    specularMap[1] = "vehicles/common/null_s.dds";
    normalMap[1] = "vehicles/common/null_n.dds";
    diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    specularMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null_n.dds";
    normalMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null_n.dds";
    specular[0] = "0.5 0.5 0.5 0.1";
    specular[1] = "0.5 0.5 0.5 0.1";
    specular[2] = "0.5 0.5 0.5 0.1";
    specularPower[0] = "128";
    pixelSpecular[0] = "1";
    specularPower[1] = "32";
    pixelSpecular[1] = "1";
    specularPower[2] = "128";
    pixelSpecular[2] = "1";
    diffuseColor[0] = "1 1 1 1";
    diffuseColor[1] = "1 1 1 1";
    diffuseColor[2] = "1 1 1 1";
    useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
    useAnisotropic[1] = "1";
    useAnisotropic[2] = "1";
    castShadows = "1";
    translucent = "1";
    translucentBlendOp = "None";
    alphaTest = "0";
    alphaRef = "0";
    dynamicCubemap = true;
    beamngDiffuseColorSlot = 2;
    materialTag0 = "beamng"; materialTag1 = "vehicle";
};

 

Try removing the following lines, I'm pretty sure they're not needed.

Code:

    translucent = "1";
    translucentBlendOp = "None";
    alphaTest = "0";
    alphaRef = "0";

"vehicles/common/null_s.dds" doesn't exist, but that's not causing the problem.

 

Removing them makes no difference.

 

"vehicles/common/null_d.dds" doesn't exist either.

Changing the normalMaps to "vehicles/common/null.dds" seems to fix it.

 

That fixes the colours being incorrect. But still no chrominess.

Is there anything I need to do to the model inside blender in order to allow for glossy paint in game?

 

Nothing needs doing to the model.
What if you change diffuseMap[1] to "vehicles/common/null.dds"?
I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

 

Even with setting them all to null.dds there is no change.

The material is the exact same as used on the sunbust just without the sunburst specific maps. So im not sure it is to do with the materials.cs file.

 

Maybe someone else knows what's going on. Anyone?

 

try to use this

Code:

   useAnisotropic[3] = "1";
   alphaRef = "255";
   alphaTest = "0";
   dynamicCubemap = true; //cubemap = "BNG_Sky_02_cubemap";
   doubleSided = "1";

 

That has created a sort of fake metallic effect.

 

Have you turned on dynamic reflections ?

 

Yes, dynamic reflections are enabled and work on all of the default vehicles correctly.

 

For a simple body color thats shiny cut a 256x256 square out of the default vehicles C map. I attached one to this post. Put it in your the same folder as your jbeam files
then make your materials cs like this

Code:

singleton Material(insert material name)
{
    mapTo = "insert material name";
    diffuseMap[2] = "vehicles/insert bodycolor.png location here/bodycolor.png";
    diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    specularMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    specularPower[0] = "128";
    pixelSpecular[0] = "1";
    specularPower[1] = "32";
    pixelSpecular[1] = "1";
    specularPower[2] = "128";
    pixelSpecular[2] = "1";
    diffuseColor[0] = "1 1 1 1";
    diffuseColor[1] = "1 1 1 1";
    diffuseColor[2] = "1 1 1 1";
    useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
    useAnisotropic[1] = "1";
    useAnisotropic[2] = "1";
    //diffuseColor[3] = "1.5 1.5 1.5 1";
    castShadows = "1";
    translucent = "1";
    translucentBlendOp = "None";
    alphaTest = "0";
    alphaRef = "0";
    dynamicCubemap = true;
    instanceDiffuse[2] = true;
    materialTag0 = "beamng"; materialTag1 = "vehicle";
};

 

That didn't work sadly.

 

Ok, I have pasted the following directly into the materials.cs for my vehicle.
The Sunburst bodywork materials and R60 bodywork materials are now identical except the mapto.

Code:

diffuseMap[2] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_c.dds";
    specularMap[2] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_s.dds";
    normalMap[2] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_n.dds";
    diffuseMap[1] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_d.dds";
    specularMap[1] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_s.dds";
    normalMap[1] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_n.dds";
    diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    specularMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    normalMap[0] = "vehicles/sunburst/sunburst_n.dds";

Things still aren't working quite right...

 

If you're using hte _c file Narwal sent, try making it solid white instead of semi transparent.

 

That last video was 100% using the exact files from the sunburst.
