Title: Normal & Specular mapping on helmets
Post by: kmracing99 on March 01, 2016, 09:01:17 PM
I have put a norm and spec map on for a helmet and i don't notice any difference at all.
Just wondering if i'm naming this correctly?

If it's the same as MXB, the helmet doesn't have a normal map or a reflection map. Snappe said:

A map called helmet_s.tga controls both specular and reflection.

With this info I was at least able to make a matte look or a reflective helmet..

Doing the shader thing myself.

You need a shader file that is compiled when you build the .edf

To combine the maps into 1 tga follow this post;

Far as i know you can only add shaders at model build time.

You need the name the creator used when he exported the helmet.
And you can't change the normal/specular/reflection map when it wasn't included at export. At least I don't know how.
Maybe the name is something like "helmet_normal", "helmet_b", "helmet_bump"?
Best would be to ask noss.
