'Fraid not, as it would require effort on part of our texture artists, and they are all lazy-arse bums. Also, hey, this is Deus Ex, it's not meant to be cheerful.

I'm just amazed the map can exist without exploding the game

The coloring of the skybox matches the coloring of the geometry pretty well I think

Yeah but Gelo was suggesting sprucing up the actual map.

I don't know, I kinda like the limited colour-scheme, I mean it IS a winter-themed map, it's supposed to be largely grey, white, and brown. I think it works pretty well to create a believably frosty atmosphere.

The new Phat Rifle is now finished. I didn't model a laser for 2 reasons, 1 it will be on the front perhaps even built in near the barrel and 2 there weren't any free texture slots after doing the scope so that's why there isn't a laser on the model.

Awesome! I'll check it out when I've written enough today that I can turn on my desktop PC with a somewhat clean conscience.

Jonas, how do you want the textures to work for the Redsun monitor? Just have the screen be a separate texture entirely? That's obviously the best way to do it, I just want to make sure you don't have a bunch of textures already made up for it or something.

lol Trestkon, we do have a bunch of textures made up for it already. You've even made several of them yourself.

It is of paramount importance that the screen itself uses Multiskins 2

Hmkay, I'll just make the screen use a 128*128 texture, or thereabouts.

All our textures for it are 256?, but it'll scale, right? So no problem.

Oh right, it just all clicked in my head. The original still used MultiTexture 2, it just wasn't unlit, right?

Post by **Jonas** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 7:37 pm

Exactly

Hmm, I need some Phasmatis advise, I haven't done this in a while :-p

I've mapped the monitor and created a multi-texture, which I've applied to the model. Is there something that I have to do with the MatIDs? Also, do I just name the screen sub-material as UNLIT to make it unlit?

If you're doing this via 3ds2de, name the screen material ANYTHINGYOULIKE.u

It's just the .u at the end that determines future unlit-ness.

Check the readme that comes with 3ds2de for all the things you can append.

As far as I can tell, the ReadMe *is* telling me I have to name the material as UNLIT....
