Coding EnemyModels under Vertex Lighting

Post by **serv0** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 8:48 am

I know individuals working on a mod right now that is almost competed. However one of the main issues they are facing now is Coding EnemyModels and PM Skins into this mod under Vertex Lighting. It is already completed under Lightmap lighting.

I am not a coder nor do I know why they are facing problems with the coding of models under Vertex lighting, compared to having success with coding the models under Lightmap. If your a coder and experienced with these issues any assistance/direction with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

perhaps get the coders to post here and ask?

Thanx servo.
Anyways, i'm the coder for the mod. The problem i have is with bright skins under VertexLight (Lightmap is fine). The problem is that i cant seem to set right skins to a model. Model itself is registered fine, but the skins do not show up. So the end result in the game is just the white model. The problem seems to be with the trap_R_RegisterSkin function which does not register the skin. Just as it says in the comments, it returns all white. That's it. I've tried quiet a few different fixes, but nothing seems to be working. Any help will be appreciated.

Posting your shaders/skins might be a good idea, there could very well be a mistake in one of them.

Here is the shader and the sample skin files

players.shader:

skin:
http://www.jbpowfiles.com/pub/models/head_pm.skin
http://www.jbpowfiles.com/pub/models/lower_pm.skin
http://www.jbpowfiles.com/pub/models/upper_pm.skin

Given the fact that everything works under the lightmap, i really doubt that there is a problem with any of the skins or shaderr (unless i'm missing something obvious).
Thanx

Would you mind posting the solution... for other people who may be having this problem in the future?

before registering skin, turn off vertex light
