Revisiting Obstortte's blending script

[grayman]

A year ago, I was successful at including a few blended patches following the tutorials and instructions from Obs and Biker.

 

I'm trying to make a new one now, and failing.

 

I think I've got all the parts, and am following the same instructions, but when I export the blended model and import it, two things happen:

 

1 - The blend blocks are included as part of the model, visible in DR.

 

2 - In TDM, the entire patch is using the second texture, and there's no sign of the first. In DR, the model shows the entire patch painted with the first texture (which is expected).

 

Before I have to cobble together a test mission to demonstrate what I'm doing, I wondered if there were any changes beyond the state of the world when these instructions were made.

 

A year ago I was using DR 1.8.1. Now I'm using DR 2.02. Is it possible that 2.02 brought in an old version of the blend script?

 

I also notice that when the export blend dialogue box pops up, it's asking me to set the % of blending. That wasn't there a year ago. What do I do with that?

 

Is there a single place where all of the instructions, the correct script, and a correct tutorial video have been placed? (I.e. a wiki page) I couldn't find any.

 

Thanks.

Are you using this one:

?

 

As I recall it wasn't included in DR 2.02 but it will be in DR 2.03

@Grayman, Obs blend script DOSENT work in any version of DR above 1.8.1. I discovered and posted this a feew weeks back and I created the garden patch for MoonBo's mission.

@Biker: Are you using the script that got packaged with DR, or the version linked by nbohr1more?

 

DR 2+ accidentally packaged an older broken version of the script.

 

I've not tried it, I'm just reporting what I've read in other threads.

I updated the script to the version nbohr1more pointed me to, and the two problems went away.

 

Thanks for the link!

@Gman, looks like I must have been using an older script then :-)
