Title: What am I doing wrong?
Post by: Starwing on March 19, 2001, 08:37:00 am
I run a POF through pof2cob, then open it in Truespace, and it is blue. When I load the same model into 3D Exploration I get a fully textured ship but in Truespace all the textures are missing. Inspecting the material says there is no texture map assigned to the model, just plain blue color.

What the hell am I doing wrong???

Truespace doesn't like you  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

No really, I don't know.

Maybe you can try redoing the entire model?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

You're not doing anything wrong. Bobboau knows exactly what I'm trying to say, but basically the way the texture info is read by FS2 is not the same way it is read by TS, though 3DE can read it. You have to do some inspecting and repainting - Bobboau is ace at this, he eats them for breakfast.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I really wish I could master that... then I could chuck 3DE and render entire scenes at once... that'd be nice  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Dude, 3DE can render entire scenes at once.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's not as Bobbeau said, "upside-down, inside-out, ..., whatever, ..., and covered with a layer of white colour." There ARE NO textures on the model. Inspecting the material gives me just a material consisting of plain blue color, nothing else, no texture, only plain color.

There are none that TS can read. That's why 3DE can still see them.

But I don't understand that. I put all the necissary files into the same directory before running POF2COB and all the BMP files of the textures are there. Or do they have to be in a special directory?

Try this, with 3DE save the model as a COB file under a different name but in the same directory. Then open it in TS and see if that helps.
