Question about .EDM models export / import

[luckybob9]

What plugin version are you using?

[rockwelder]

EDM Plugins 61276

[luckybob9]

have you tried the material "old_tree"? When I try nothing shows up. But I am using an old version of the plugins

[rockwelder]

Yes , I tried "old_tree" from before, and just now with the newest plugins...it seems the model viewer can display it, while the game can not. Since the trees in DCS used to be .loms, I figure they have a batch convert script from .lom to .edm.

 

I can get the trees in game, but the other selectable materials are not appropriate in any which way...

does it show up correctly in the viewer with no shadows?. what happens in game

[rockwelder]

In the modelviewer it displays completely correct with the "old_tree" setting with "alpha test" selected for opacity for export. No shadow..

 

In game the model simply does not appear in the spot that it should.

 

See pic in model viewer - this is correct

[luckybob9]

What do you mean by not the right spot? Wrong physical location? bad rotation? can you send me a screenshot

It does not appear at all. With other materials I can get it to display, but the material makes them look flat and dark.

 

I can't take a screenshot of a model that does not appear...I can load the wrong material and show you the model in game...

[rockwelder]

here is the trees with "building_no shadow" material. See the dark halfs?

[luckybob9]

so the dark halfs are solved when using the old_tree material in the modelviewer, but when using them in game, they do not show up? Am i understanding correctly?

Correct:)

Those aren't shadows are they? It just looks like the face is pointing away from the light source.

I call them shadows I guess... The back side of the trees are darker as well...

Than in reality... ;)

[rockwelder]

Here is a rear shot of the trees, notice the how dark they are... A side shot looks like half dark half light...this is not what the current trees are displaying.

[Nate--IRL--]

Yeah very odd.

I wish it looked good, but there is a very noticeable contrast between tree faces that make the trees look awful IMHO. I want make some kick azz forests but there seems to be some glitches to work out...:)

[rockwelder]

You are using DCS World...I am using BS2 1.1.1.1

 

I can't get your model to load either...

 

I wonder if I have to wait till the patch...?

[Mustang]

You could still test this in DCS World, since the core is free after all :)

[rockwelder]

:) That's where I am going next Mustang...
