Exile007 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hey all, I've been trying to make a reskin of the default bandon armor. I texture edited it as normal, and then I edited appearance.2da accordingly, naming the Texa N_DarthBand08 (which is what I named the texture). However, when I load the game up in TSL, a weird CM_BareMetal effect is carried throughout the entire texture. This happens whenever I edit Bandon's armor actually, however, when I change the texture name from N_DarthBand08 to 01, the problem goes away. I don't have an alpha channel on the texture so I'm greatly puzzled. A screenshot of my problem: If anyone can tell me what's going on I would be very thankful.

Ulmont Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Cheack you Appearance.2da. You probably have cm_baremetal somewhere in the default_textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile007 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Nope, no CM_Baremetal anywhere. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Try opening your texture, deleting your Alpha and try it again? Odds are you did it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try naming your texture to N_DarthBand0801.tga and see if that works. You really can't specify texture variation numbers in the appearance.2da. You have to use uti files for that. The reason your screenshot looks like that is the game isn't finding the texture you specified. The reason it does find it when you rename it to N_DarthBand01.tga is that the default texture is specified inside the model file itself - so it uses that when it can't find the texture you defined in the appearance.2da.

Ah, thank you Kristy, that helped a lot. It works now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
