Question about speculars
« on: November 10, 2009, 01:12:48 PM »
I recently dl'ded the USS Spirit mod from GMunoz. I'm trying to add speculars to the ship and for many other mods that I've dl'ded that originally came with no specs, I've been successful in adding them. The process I go through (for those of you that know how to do it, - I don't believe I have to explain the procedure) has always worked... except for this mod??

Other than the scripts/ships .py file (where the glow/spec parameters are located) is/are there any other .py files that may have a bearing on correctly activating specs.

Thanks in advance.

I dont think there are any other PYs, but you must make sure the extension is EXACT, with that in data\ships\models\

I was having trouble like that before uploading the Yorktown. I have added "_specular" and for view in low detail. See for yourself.
pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameHigh"], 10, 200.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")
      pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameMed"],  10, 400.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")
      pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameLow"],  10, 800.0, 15.0, 30.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")

OK but does the _specular here in this script,? match Excatly [even case] the _specular in the data\ships\model --- , I have seen _spec as well, the match HAS to be precise.

in your' 'pLODModel.AddLOD(pStats["FilenameHigh"], 10, 200.0, 15.0, 15.0, 400, 900, "_glow", None, "_specular")"" remove the .0 after the 200
