Question about a texture issue
« on: April 11, 2016, 08:50:46 PM »
I've been messing around with giving heroes a land model that don't have one. As a result I tried to retexture the pilot model from EaW, however it displays my changes but it tinted the whole texture orange while ingame. However, in the ALO viewer the model appears perfectly normal. I've attached two pictures showing the model in the ALO viewer versus in-game.

I'm at a bit loss for why it is displaying so differently ingame from the ALO viewer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Linked below is an imgur link showcasing how the model looks in the ALO viewer versus in-game.

Fill the alpha channel with black and save it as DDS 3 with explicit alpha. Alpha channel is used for team colour, and sometimes it'll save as all white if there's not one given, which means the entire model will get filled with team colour. That;s probably what happened here.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon

Thanks Corey, it worked! Wanted to make sure I fixed this issue before I put time into better skins.

So this is unfinished?
Wow, I can't wait to see what it will look like when it is done.

Well. Is that why Snackbar always turns out glaringly white when I use him.

Here is a pretty much finished one. If I had the proper 3DS Max version to export/import .alo I'd redo the UV so I could get a much smoother/higher quality look.

If anyone thinks its good enough for their submod I'll gladly supply a dl link.
