I'm a newbie (just for the record)

Right, so this is the story: I've installed the same version of 3DGS on two computers... a low-end and a high-end computer. On the low-end everything works fine, but on the high-end the parameter "metal" is not working.

I've checked the checkbox in the properties menu of the entity... it doesn't work
I've assigned the metal parameter trough the following code:

player.metal=on;
player.albedo=75;

Nothing works...

Why? Could anyone help me? THX

You should not use metal anymore. It's abandoned.
Why it works on one pc and not on the other I don't know.

Yeah... I already tried that but it doesn't look cool anymore.

By the way... The entity uses the Physics engine, can this have something to do with it?

Also... when I'm using the logo variabile in display00.wdl (var logo = 1;) on the low-end I can read <A5> and on the high-end <A6>.

How is that even possible??? THX

Ah you seem to have an pretty old version of A6.

A5 mode means the renderer for weak 3d hardware is selected. It still supports the metal flag - the A6 renderer doesn't. There you should do some proper metal effect using shaders.

you can set d3d_transform to 0 to force A5 mode, but I cannot recommend it.
You should update your version anyway. But newer versions don't contain A5 mode anymore (it is not needed anymore nowadays).

Allright... thanks a million... now I finally understand what THAT was all about.
