Problem with texture! HELP Needed!

BVSX · Sep 28, 2010

Hi guys, I have a strage problem with texture of my NARDI Classic wheel, if in ZModeller it looks fine, in game it looks way off! Same problem is in Modeller... The model was thextured in 3DS Max.

Here are some screenies.

What should I do? I tryied texturing it in zMod but I'm not so good with that and nothing changes the problem

i can give the model and the texture for someon who can help me

Wheel looks good! Did you make it with the origin at 0,0,0 and then position it in car.ini file?

Or you can try moving the drivers hands.

BVSX · Sep 28, 2010

THX, the origin of the wheel is at 0,0,0... in the car.ini I need to move it little bit forward.. but this is not the problem in positioning it in car.ini... I think here is another problem but i don't know which the problem is...

here is the screen from modeller... same problem with texture

Looks great in Zmod. Did you check the export values, that nothing is shifted?
I can look at it (Zmod) when I get home and see if I can reproduce it as I am
working on texture remapping these days.

EDIT: found a post with a similar problem.. (though for Zmod2) maybe it helps in your case?

I didnt check if export values are shifted or not, but i reinstaled zMod and this happens again...
I'm not a pro in zMod thats why i asking for help, maybe deleting the texture and retexturing in zMod will solve the problem but i don't know how to delete the texture from model...

I can upload the texture and model somewere and PM you with the link.THX luthobu at advance

And another thing, the wheel is invisible from outside the car

luthobu · Sep 28, 2010

That will be fine, but I can't check untill tonight. About visibility.. did you add a shader entry for it?
It might solve the problem in Racer, but it still will not fix the error in modeler. PM me and I'll look at it.

THX luthobu, PM sent

I"ll wait forever if is necesary

The texture should be in 64²/128²/256² not something like 380x400 etc...

Yeah, I think you (skybh) are right on this, the texture is 600x600.
He could try with 512x512 and see if it solves the problem.
Thanks for pointing it out, made me check the files at once.

Alexander Knoll · Sep 28, 2010

yep that was my first fault too...used resol like 234x200 etc.....

BVSX · Sep 28, 2010

WOW thx skybh!! I resized from 600x600 to 512x512 and this solved the problem!!!

Looks preaty nice for my first wheel, thx to all that helped!

luthobu · Sep 28, 2010

nice! I think I'll borrow the steering wheel for my Cuda, private use only of course,
so, thanks for sending it

(Unless you think that is wrong, then I will delete it at once).

is not a problem, you can keep it and once you did, hold it tight

How do i solve the problem with visibility of my wheel from outside the car? Whats means shader entry?

here is the shader script for the wheel >

shader_nardi
{
layer0
{
map=$trackenvmap
texgen_s=reflection_map
texgen_t=reflection_map
texgen_r=reflection_map
}
layer1
{
map=nardi_wheel.tga
}
}

It is right?

luthobu · Sep 30, 2010

Change this:

Code:

layer1
{
map=nardi_wheel.tga
}

to

Code:

layer1
{
map=nardi_classic.tga
}

and in the dof, change <nardi_classic>: to nardi_classic::

worked for me.

And: Welcome back online RD!

BVSX · Oct 1, 2010

WOW thx, i didnt noticed that i forget to change the name

lol

i'll try and see if I can work it out

thx!

And +1 WB RD

BVSX · Oct 1, 2010

LuThoBu, I tryed to make the changes, but nothing is changed

still the wheel is not visible frome outside...

You probably need a blendfunc for the second layer, ie:

shader_nardi
{
layer0
{
map=$trackenvmap
texgen_s=reflection_map
texgen_t=reflection_map
texgen_r=reflection_map
}
layer1
{
map=nardi_classic.tga
blendfunc=one src_alpha
}
}
