Wow awesome! That is good to know! :o

Are there already decals with normal maps in use? I would love to see an example screen (or motorsep can do a screenie plz?) :)

For a translucent light-interacting decal, here's one of our standard cobwebs. It generates a rough normal map and a specular map from the diffuse image:

textures/darkmod/decals/webs/cobweb1
{
  qer_editorimage textures/darkmod/decals/webs/cobweb1_ed
  translucent
  noshadows
  twosided
  nonsolid
  sort 5

  bumpmap heightmap (textures/darkmod/decals/webs/cobweb1, 2)
  diffusemap textures/darkmod/decals/webs/cobweb1
  
  {
    blend specularmap
    map textures/darkmod/decals/webs/cobweb1
    red .25
    green .25
    blue .2
  }
}
You can see it's light-interacting if you wave a lantern round in front of it. Also, it won't glow in the dark like most transparent materials do. The glass crack decals work the same way.

 

For an alpha-tested version, our ivy pieces are a good example:

textures/darkmod/decals/vegetation/ivy_mixed_pieces
{
  surftype15
  description "foliage"
  noshadows
  nonsolid
  noimpact
  twosided
  qer_editorimage textures/darkmod/decals/vegetation/ivy_mixed_pieces_ed

  {
    blend diffusemap
    map textures/darkmod/decals/vegetation/ivy_mixed_pieces
    alphaTest 0.1
  }

  specularmap textures/darkmod/decals/vegetation/ivy_mixed_pieces_s
  bumpmap textures/darkmod/decals/vegetation/ivy_mixed_pieces_local
}

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
