Theres a marswars topic in the UT forum, but beware that the first 25 pages, are leading up... ideas that we had along the way that may or may not be used, check marswars.net.tc for updates news, when its finished, but for now you can check the last few pages of the MW topic, youll get a description of the mod in the CDC  |

| Quoting bigblack40 | | Quoting REDFROG | A sidenote, you can also have all mipmaps and the texture in one vbm.
Create all 3 TGAs for this and put them in one vbm with the makevbm tool.
VBMs are much much smaller than TGAs. And having one VBM instead of 3 TGAs is even smaller because each tga needs some extra space.
Don't ask me why the game ain't using VBMs. Maybe the feature was added to late.
(sometimes a VBM is bigger than a TGA. (when the texture is hires) But when zipped the vpp with the VBM will have a better compression!) |
Hmmm...Will this work cause wouldnt the makers of the game make the skins end with *.tga would it still be able to detect skin as a VBM also how do the Mipmaps all work as one file?? |
Oh right, I forgot about that. The model ain't custom, right?
But I think that Red Faction will always search for VBMs first. But I'm not sure how RF would handle the mipmaps..
I've only done it with custom models which use new texture names. But you should give it a try because it saves space. (oh well, as long as you're not making a lot of skins use TGAs instead)
I think (I can't remember it exactly) mipmap textures don't show up on lower detailed meshes only. Even if the model had no LODs, mipmap textures would be used. The mipmap distance is hardcoded. But not the LOD distance for the mesh. (it can be set in the entities.tbl for each character). So mipmaps and LODs are two different things.
(mipmaps fade into the smaller ones, use a purple mipmap texture to test it) |

| Quoting Sophie | Can i just say that what VPP are they in cuz i have been doing a quake4 mod skin and i have done the carhitour select
and i would like to finish this |
If I'm not mistaken, all texture map files are in the "maps.vpp" archives. Check the entity in the "entities.tbl" file for the map name of the entity you want to change, then look it up in the various "maps.vpp" archives. They won't all be in one, you have to go through all four to get all the files you need. (Or you could take the quicker, easier way and skip the mipmaps.) |

REDFROG has a life!? Impossible, I say!
He has been pretty busy lately, though. I think I'd rather see that RF mod for UT2004 finished before he starts another mod. |
