Paintings: skins

[Bikerdude]

So am trying to create some new painting skins -

skin 01merchant
{
    model models/darkmod/decorative/wall/painting01.lwo

    painting01 01merchant
}

What am I doing wrong?, as the skin isnt appearing in DR..

 

b.

Everything looks fine.

 

Do you define the texture textures/darkmod/paintings/01merchant in one of your material files? Is that done correctly? No typos? Correct folder?

[Bikerdude]

yep, as I can see the textures in the media inspector and place the texture on brush etc.

 

but even if the textures path was wrong or had a typo the skin should still appear in the entity inspector. Yet if I look through the entire list for all models in the skin inspector its not appearing there either.

 

In a further effrot to diagnose the issue I moved all the textures to tdm default locations, but skin still no appearing.

Could it be to do with which mission directory DR is set to? Also, is it a .skin file?

Copied the skins folder to the root of the darkmod folder, no joy. And yup.

Post the material def of the 01merchant texture please.

[Bikerdude]

I have updated the skin def -

skin 01merchant
{
    model models/darkmod/decorative/wall/painting01.lwo

    painting01 01merchant
}

And here is the material def -

01merchant
{
    surftype15
    description "painting"

    qer_editorimage models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant_ed
    diffusemap      models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant
    bumpmap         models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant_local

    {
        if ( parm11 > 0 )
        blend       gl_dst_color, gl_one
        map         _white
        rgb         0.40 * parm11
    }
    {
        if ( parm11 > 0 )
        blend       add
        map         models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant
        rgb         0.15 * parm11
    }

	// TDM Ambient Method Related 
	{							
		if (global5 == 1)		
		blend add				
		map			models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant
		scale			1, 1		
		red			global2	
		green			global3	
		blue			global4	
	}							
	{							
		if (global5 == 2)		
		blend add				
		program	ambientEnvironment.vfp	
		vertexParm		0		1, 1, 1, 1		// UV Scales for Diffuse and Bump	
		vertexParm		1		1, 1, 1, 1	// (X,Y) UV Scale for specular		
		vertexParm		2		global2, global3, global4, 1	
																
		fragmentMap		0		cubeMap env/gen1				
		fragmentMap		1		models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant_local		// Bump				
		fragmentMap		2		models/darkmod/props/textures/01merchant		// Diffuse			
		fragmentMap		3		_black							// Specular			
	}
}

maybe the problem is the material and the skin have the same name

[Bikerdude]

ah ok, let me try that...

 

No change, and tried marchant01 and merchant_01

[Bikerdude]

doh your never gonna beleive what the issue was....

 

I tried opening the file in windows and it refused to let me set a default app to open it with, and it was at that point I noticed that the file name was 'my_skins_skin' instead of 'my_skin.skin'
