How should LWO models be imported to TDM?

No shader issue with the model. Even if path to textures set to like "//doom\darkmod\textures\props\trees"

Do i need MTR file to represent model in DR or what?

Thanks!

What excuse do we have not to sculpt, and sculpt, and sculpt, until the job is done?

All textures in the game require a material shader, because a "texture" in D3 is usually a mixture of three or more different image files.

 

For basic testing, all you need is this:

 

shader_name

{ diffusemap "[path and name of image file]"}

 

Then name the surface "shader_name" in LW.

Can you be more specific about shader and LW?

Got mtr and textures, they look allright in TDM

Yes, as long as the majority of it doesn't cast shadows that should be fine. A lower poly version for LOD would also be useful.

specifying my own paths to the textures but retaining the original texture names didn't work, so I have to open up the .LWO model in a text editor (in this case notepad++) and see what path the model was expecting to see.

 

Is there no way to use custom paths with an .LWO model then..?

You could either use a skin, or remake the material shader to point to your own textures.

It should. The .lwo model just points to a regular material shader, like tdm_dark_wood.

      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.
