Hi, I have a problem.
I don't really get it with the normal mapping....
I want the Map react on static and dynamic light. But it won't react on both!
I will now post my screens, code and fx file!
GeForce FX 5900XT
3D GameStudio Comm A6.31






FX-File

Code:
bmap NORMALTEX = <floor1DOT3.tga>;

material floor1
{
skin1=NORMALTEX;
flags=tangent;
}

starter load_fx
{
bmap_to_mipmap(floor1.skin1);
effect_load(floor1,"bump_diffuse.fx");

}

And all that for 5 textures!

Now, how do I get the Textures look not so yellow and how do I get them realistic.
I tried other fx-files with that code, but the textures are all black!

Thanks for help!

Ill take a stab at it, perhaps you forgot the action
Code:

---

action floor_lighting

{

    my.material = floor1;

}

---

Just apply that to the floor, so the floor would have to be an entity or maybe a model. (Entity would work better in my opinion)

Hope this helps

but then I'd have to do the whole house as an map-entity.
That would not be so good!

Yeah its a shame that you can attach actions to blocks...however thats the only way to have it influenced by dynamic light. BTW, where did you get the FX file? Is it better that the ultimate lighting shader pack one? Because Im currently working with dynamic lights at this very moment in my project.

found it in the forum!
Forgive me, but I don't know where!
It is not better, but the only thing I got working!

I don't get the "Ultimate Shader Pack" working!
How do you do that?

It works almost the exact same way, only there are two seperate actions, one for world geometry and one for models.

No it's not, by using matt aufterheide's ultimate lighting pack, you can have up to 7 dynamic lights. And the floor doesn't have to be an entity, just a standard WED block. If the material name is the same as a texture's name, everything in the level with that texture will get that material. Simple enough.

I meant for the FX file he is using, Matts shader can illuminate anything.

Oh I see, I assumed you made that statement in general to all material effects.

Having looked over this .fx file, the reason you dont get lights reacting is that the shader doesn't do dynamic lights.. this a "cheap" shader which uses lightmapping to fake the lights. Use my Ulimate Lighting Pack to do dynamic lighting.
