krylon@Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2006 5:25 am    Post subject: helmet skins seperate?: i'm reskinning marine_helmet. so far the body skins all work properly; the helmets are giving me trouble. i tried a skin like this...

Code:

skin custom/characters/marine_dpm_mp   {    models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine   models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_dpm_mp    models/characters/sarge2/helmet         models/characters/sarge2/helmet_mp }

with a corresponding .mtr...

Code:

models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_dpm_mp {        //noselfShadow       unsmoothedTangents       flesh       forceOverlays       clamp       collision    {   // burning corpse effect       if   parm7         // only when dead       // make a burned away alpha test for the normal skin       blend   gl_zero, gl_one         // don't draw anything              map models/monsters/spectre/dis2.tga   // replace this with a monster-specific texture       alphaTest 0.05 + 1.7 * (time - parm7)    }    renderbump  -size 1024 1024 -trace 0.07 -colorMap -aa 2  models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_local.tga models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_hi.lwo       forceoverlays         diffusemap     models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_dpm_mp.tga       bumpmap        addnormals(models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_local.tga, heightmap(models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_h.tga, 5 ) )         specularmap     models/characters/male_npc/marine/marine_s.tga }

and the separate .mtr for the helmet...

Code:

models/characters/sarge2/helmet_mp {     noselfShadow    unsmoothedTangents    collision    forceOverlays    clamp    metal    renderbump  -size 512 512 -aa 2  models/characters/sarge2/helmet_local.tga models/characters/sarge2/helmet_hi.lwo    {   // burning corpse effect       if   parm7         // only when dead       // make a burned away alpha test for the normal skin       blend   gl_zero, gl_one         // don't draw anything              map models/monsters/spectre/dis2.tga   // replace this with a monster-specific texture       alphaTest 0.05 + 1.7 * (time - parm7)    }    {           blend diffusemap          map  models/characters/sarge2/helmet_mp.tga       //alphaTest parm6    }              bumpmap         models/characters/sarge2/helmet_local.tga            specularmap      models/characters/sarge2/helmet_mp_s.tga }

and my .def for the default marine:

Code:

model npc_marine_helmet {    inherit                     npc_marine    anim stand                  models/md5/chars/stand.md5anim    anim talk_primary               models/md5/chars/stand_talk.md5anim    anim talk_secondary1               models/md5/chars/stand_talk.md5anim    anim talk_secondary2               models/md5/chars/stand_talk.md5anim   } entityDef npc_marine_helmet {    "inherit"                  "npc_base"    "model"                     "npc_marine_helmet"    "def_head"                  "head_marine_helmet"    "copy_joint_world eyecontrol"   ""        "head_joint"                  "Shoulders"    "talk_no_turn"                  "1"    "talktime"                  ".5"    "talkradius"                  "384"           "head_focus_rate"               "0.1"     }

is something wrong with the def i made? the marine's def_head in npcs.def is head_marine_helmet, right? right, but the material def for the marine's helmet is actually models/characters/sarge2/helmet i think. i changed helmet.tga in this folder and the helmets changed. i need skins for different helmets though, not a different default texture. do the marines actually use sarge2/w_helmet as the material? i thought i tried this, but i may have missed something.. i'm tired. am i missing something else entirely? i thought about making seperate def_heads for the different skins i was making, but this seemed tedious. if that's the way to go however, i'll do it i guess. maybe it's the skin file? ideas? i'm getting confused. it's too late at night for this many files to depend on each other.
