Orange-Green specularity?

[Obliviator27]

Pardon me for explaining this (if it seems like I'm going over any boundaries).


Hirnwirbel and I found that if you didn't link the model to the the texture in the modeling program, when exporting as a .dae, the model would not recognize any other file attached to it. Thus, if you want a diffuse, spec and normal, load it up in Maya/ Max/ Blender then export.

This is how we found it: models, not only from Hirnwirbel, but the community, too, were not showing up in the HPL2 Engine's Model Editor. If you attached a .mat to it, it would show sometimes. If you place your model + textures in the same folder in the entities folder, it still would not recognize them. Until she linked the textures to the model in Maya, the model showed up invisible.

Now, it may not be the same for everyone, but that was a problem we happened to figure out. If I'm wrong, please let me know (I've been trying to find solutions for huge problems in the community, thus far, I think I'm doing a decent job). :]

I've never had that issue.

I've found that as long as you link the diffuse in your 3d modelling program, and name your .mat file the same as your diffuse file, HPL will read the .mat with all of the other maps applied(Be it alpha, specular, normals, cubemap, whatever)

My process is to export the model, create the .mat in the material editor, THEN load the mesh up in Modelview or ModelEditor.

So I think you only have to link the diffuse at the very least. But that's what works out fine for me.
