Title: Some textures missing from OE?
Post by: BlauK on May 11, 2007, 03:57:45 AM

At least all bech#:s appear white, so do the water areas in delta1-8.
pgrp1-3 and decid0-11 (trees) also have many of white/grey polygons among the textured ones.

Regarding the trees, it seems that this textureless object part is called "cllsn".. indicating collision? It has "Hidden=1" tag, but at least in OE these polygons are visible.

In TE these polygons are no longer visible. I suppose it works ok in game as well.

I just wonder why a separate colision object is needed?

Another OE related question:

It seems that the LOD:s now change somehow gradually... fade away.

What is the range of this fade from the set Min/MaxDist (how many ft)?

Is it +/- ###ft from the set number or does it work only to one direction from the set distance?

Hi Blauk,


first, that cllsn object might indicate the object area that detects bullet that hit it and then generates leaves falling off( new effect added in ah2.1)

I remember HT saying even before 2.1 that they implemented the fade in/out effect for objects, to reduce the "pop!" effects objects have (instant appear).

Also some new stuff - we get to choose the type of ground on our tiles - pavement, dirt, bumpy ...

And now it seems when converting ac3d objects into OE it automatically adds all the materials into your object, before i would have to manually add a material to object because they were dark by default.

Has anyone been able to place a visible delta in the end of a river?
I dont get anthing visible and my TE sometimes crashes after trying.
