Model help - JetlinerX - 01-09-2012
So-
We are about 5 days from our release, and we have a .mat file we would like to add to a monster (attached to them) and we are curious about how to do this. Can anyone offer some help?
(Note: If this is too complex, we may ditch the idea)
RE: Model help - Elven - 01-09-2012
Basically what you are asking is how to put new 'texture' on top of monster?
If yes, I would be interested to find that out too ;D

Basically how to make the Pedo bear from Dark Room. (We ARE NOT doing that, that is just for example purposes)

If it's a billboard, place the image and corresponding .mat in your root "billboards" folder, go into the model editor and place the billboard where needed, change it's axis point, scale, and attach to the body.

Code:
<TextureUnits>
<Diffuse AnimFrameTime="" AnimMode="" File="RockSmooth0102_Darkened.dds" Mipmaps="true" Type="2D" Wrap="Repeat" />

When activating and deactivating your monster set the color of the light to white respectively black. Otherwise the billboard will linger at the monsters last location.(01-09-2012, 03:35 AM)JetlinerX Wrote: Basically how to make the Pedo bear from Dark Room.

Deactivation can easily be added on a checkpoint script, if the player should die (automatically sets monster inactive). The billboard will however linger if the monster is set unactive due to the end of pathnodes/distance from player (whatever automatically deactivates monsters patrolling).
Good luck :>
