Would be nice if someone could tell me what's going on with this Glass Box.

Need more details. Can you upload a small map containing the box?

Here you go. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71512306/box.map

 

I've just copied the whole thing, as you can see, there's no other glass elements inside. So I'm perplexed why its doing it.

 

Also is there a search option for models/textures? I'm trying to find a mirror n dammned if I can find it. lol

I can already tell you what's wrong, when I made that texture I used DDS for the diffuse, which causes weird rendering issues. It should be fixed in 2.04 as I converted them back to TGA instead.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Ahhh ok good. I'll change the texture then.

 

Thanks Haste.

Could someone tell me, what is an .xd file? Going over Fidcals wiki on readables, he says I need to make a text .xd file first.

.xd files are "xdata" files, where all the readables info is strored. Just create a text document with the same name as your map and change "txt" do "xd". I would strongly recommend to use the readables editor, as this is way easier to use than creating readables from scratch. Check out the Wiki page of the editor, everything you need to know is explained there:

It is a magic box, and it is very cool! You should keep it that way and come up with a justification to include it in the mission. :)

Changing the texture for the glass box doesn't fix this issue. No matte what glass texture I put on it, it still does it.

 

Also that link to the readables editor (great idea) doesn't have a link to download it. Do you have one? I've googled it

n can't find it.

 

Maybe it should be on the tdm downloads.

The readables editor does not need to be downloaded, it is integrated in DR. Simply select your readable entity and go to the "Entity" menu at the top. The last entry (after Stim/Response) is the readable editor.

A wierd issue I have with a glass box. It looks like there's another panel inside but there isn't,

and it changes position as you revolve around it.

Are you sure this isn't the heatHaze shader program doing it? For whatever reason the stronger the heatHaze effect is the more shifted the _currentRender will be to the side. Does that happen just for .dds?

Having an issue with this. I selected model/readables\paper2 and made a readable, which worked great. Until I got in game and realised

paper2 is actually a map lol. So I need to use another piece of paper and there is the problem.

 

If I delete this readable, I can't add another. It keeps giving an error "Cannot run Readable Editor on this selectiion, Please select a

single XData entity"

 

I just want to test this out atm. I'm almost at the stage where I start placing readables everywhere, as the maps almost finished except

for that. and some polishing.

Yes, if you use any of the translucent window textures, I made them all and they all suffer (to varying degrees) from the same rendering issue.

It's more pronounced when you Fit the texture on small patches it seems and they are close to each other.

 

2.04 shouldn't have this issue afaik.

To be honest Spooks, I have no idea what you're talking about I've not gotten into Shaders yet other than those attatched to default textures, decals etc. However,

I didn't use anything else except for stained glass (1 sided) on both sides of the glass, and on the sides of the glass door.

That explains it. Now hears the question. Melans suggestion of using as a Magic Box appeals to me, so I'd have to create readables to use it, however if

this bug gets fixed, then there will be readables talking about something that doesn't occur. ie a magic box that isn't magic lol. So how long before

2.04 is out? If it's soon then I'll just not worry about it, but if it's a long time, then I might be able to use it while it's still there.

It'd change some of the details of the story.

The error message means that you have either selected more than one entity at the time or that DR does not recognize it as a readable. Do you insert your new entitiy as a model and covnert it afterwards? If so, you might want to try to insert your readable via "insert entity" and choose the one you want. Alternatively, you can have a look at the starter-map. In one room there are a couple of readables (stationary as well as mobile) and copy them into your map. I myself have used the starter-map for my WIP and have built my structure somewhere else, so I can just copy/paste stuff from the rooms given in the map.

Yes the heathaze shader program does stupid things with DDS and offsets it.

This is what it looks like with TGA:

Don't know why the wood is black, no errors in console. Probably this onboard intel GPU.

Ahhh that sounds a much better way. Thank you. Yeh I'm currently using Tears of St Lucia to learn how somethings are done rather than

bug everyone here with a zillion questions I always have, then just bug u when wiki or that doesn't answer my question.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.
