Cool Titles

[RAZOR-BLADE]

Hey im trying to make infected kadeshi so far all i get is texture corruption can someone help please :)


(soz about the first post :S)

Are these nifty subtitles for current mods? Or ideas for new mods that you want other people to do? THere is a T-MAT mod already in progrees, albiet very slowly. There's no release yet, but if you want you can look at it at hwuniverse.com

[RAZOR-BLADE]

soz nevermind forget it

[Lord Vorkosigan]

You mean things like 'SWFA: Death to the Rebel Scum!' or 'Dark Age: RUN!!!!' ? :D :D :D It doesn't really seem necessary, as most mods have fairly good titles already. Though Great Wars could use a bit better names for the various mods. Sort of like the HW team has SOA, HAG, and several other combinations of letters.

ya ya but i'll put that in another fourm but now im asking about infected kadeshi put i will not get on answer to my question. Of course like always a monator will close and lock my thread :(. but my question is i get texture corruption every were i put the infection anyone got any help

[Ara]

possibly. more details as to what ships your doing this on, which liflist (HW or HWC), what your using to do the PSDs?

[RAZOR-BLADE]

soz im editing a swarmer for hw and i edited the page0.lf

[Camelot One]

Well there are several problems that you may have. For starters, you have to understand how the textures.ll file works. When you add files to it, it compares them. Files that are identical get labled as such, and only 1 is loaded into memory when the game starts. So if you have 7 page0.lif's, and all are the same, only 1 gets loaded. Now say you change one without telling the textures file its different, you get texture corruption.
You may also try opening the lif with lifview. 3Dex is more forgiving than HW when it comes to error ridden lifs, but if it displays in lifview, it should work in game.
try renaming the swarmer\rl0 to swarmer r10, and make sure to change the lines in the lod and shp files.

Are you getting corruption just on hte one ship, or all over?

[Ghent]

if i remember correctly, he's getting corruption only on parts of the swarmer that he retextured.
It sounds like you need to use liflist.exe to correctly convert the textures. This takes a small effort to learn, but once you have it set up it becomes really easy :)

hmmm, maybe this might help? http://www.chadland.com/dp/texture.html

It's a bit hasty and un-fancy looking, sorry.

[RAZOR-BLADE]

only corruption were i put the infection thats it :( damn it sucks i want a infect swarmer :(

[Ghent]

see above.

Razor, don't worry, you'll soon be able to produce that infected swarmer you've been wanting for so long ;) It's the fault of 3D explorer, not yours, that it won't save .Lif files correctly. They're actually more like .bmp files when 3D explorer makes them.
Liflist.exe on the other hand, makes real, true, Lif textures just like Relic used. They will look correctly in-game.
Making them will take a bit to learn, but once you have the "true" .Lif files made, just drag and drop them into the "lod" folders over those old "fake" .Lif files.

nope... no kadeshi at all in Cataclysm unfortunately. All new textures with infection must be made if they are to be ported over.

[RAZOR-BLADE]

that was NO HELP AT ALL TO ME!!!!! can someone helps me

[Ghent]

dude... i've already told you a hundred times (on and off the forums)... you're going to have to use liflist to generate the proper .lif textures for your edited swarmer.
If you cant be bothered to read my tutorial, or the CnlPepper tutorial or others, or listen to anyone here... then I/we can't be bothered to help you any further. Learning to MOD does not mean yelling at other people to do it for you. This isn't like programming some complex tool, either, its one of the simpler things in MOD'ing, and nearly everyone can understand how.
People will help you to learn liflist.
People will NOT keep handing you everything on a plate done. :P

Just take 5-10 min to learn liflist, k?

[SvK]

What does TY stand for?

[RAZOR-BLADE]

or the CnlPepper tutorial or others????? were tell me were other ppl are



TY-thank you

[Ghent]

...if you go to my site, and get the liflist.zip download there, his tutorial that comes with his Weapons MOD pack, is also included in there, along with the instructions i've posted on my webpage, taken from a couple posts on the old Relic forums...

[RAZOR-BLADE]

ok i've been trying and i still get corruption is PISSING ME OFF SO MUCH!!!!! i cant get this crap to work!!!!! GOD DAMMIT WORK YOU INFECTED KADESAHI, BENTUSI TIDAN, KUSHAN!!!!!

[Ghent]

if you're absolutely sure you have the correct liflisted textures in the folders....

then try renaming the folder "rl0" into "r10" (note the very subtle difference). It's been shown in the past that this small step can sometimes help cure texture corruption that is due to textures being shared like in the textures.ll file - ie - by changing the path name to the ship model so the game no longer knows where to put the textures.ll stuff, so it looks at the model and textures in the folder directly.
(i think)

[Langy]

Oh, don't worry. A while ago i decided to help him with this and I fixed up his lif and I showed him how to do it himself. Now (supposedly) he's making some infected ships all over the place:)

[RAZOR-BLADE]

muhahhahahahahah yes muhahahahhahaha

[Ghent]

yay, ...
WHOOOOOOOT :) ... good job then, both you, congrats to Razor, enjoy those ships ;)
