Texture2Material

[Rubble_Maker]

Hi

I was playing with the TextureToMaterial class in OFP, but I couldn't see any effect (even if I set the specular and emissive values to some extreme it didn't change the visual appearance at all). Does this only work with weapons? I was trying it on regular vehicle textures.

Ok, just so its clear what I'm talking about: This is the original texture2material conversion in BIS's config bin. Its in the materials.hpp file. Now does anybody know how to use this stuff for other textures? Into which class do I have to write the CfgTextureToMaterial class (I tried vehicle class)?


// Conversion of textures to materials is done when loading model.
// It is therefore not neccessary (and it is not possible) to define materials
// for textures that are assigned to shape runtime (like dammaged windows).
// Original materials will be used for such faces.

[SelectThis]

I believe that it should be written as a seperate class (ie cfg level)
