Wrong Material Files

[sparhawk]

I just noticed that the keys.mtr file contains material definitions for keys. But they are wrong, because keys should be frobable by default, and as the material is written, this would not work.

11 views and no comments? Is somebody fixing this?

I viewed it, but the mtr is not my area...

 

I know oDDity does things with .mtr files sometimes. But I also know someone else does... I think BlackThief? Not sure.

So what has to be added to the shader to make them frobbable?

[sparhawk]

Any object that should be frobable, must have this included in it's material:

   {
     if ( parm11 >= 0.5 ) 
     blend  add
     map     <path to texture>
     rgb  .50
  }

 

This will cause the frobhighlight to work, otherwise it will not highlight when frobbed. It doesn't matter wether an object is really frobable in a map, because this can be controled by setting

frobable = [1/0]

 

in the actual entity definition in the map. But an object that is potentially frobable, like keys are, they must have this in their material definition. Doors, chests and other stuff also must have this. If they are not to be frobbed in a specific map, then they should be disabled by setting "frobable = 0".

Well, that's 2 mintues work, you could have changed the mtr file yourself instead of starting a thread about it.

[sparhawk]

Yes. i could. And next time somebody does it, I wont know about it, until I accidently stumble upon it. The reason for the thread was not that I couldn't do it, but that others are aware of it, next time they write a material file.
