(Help) Modding Chi Rho Standard

[Volgat]

I was wondering is anyone can help me with a problem I have run into with modding the Chi Rho Standard.

I created a unique diffuse for it and placed it into a new rigid model, and then into a variantmeshdefinition. But it seems there is a mask somewhere that is creating problems with the visuals.

I attached a picture of the problem. As you can see the Lambda sign is visible but so is the CHI Rho(which I don't want.)


Any help would be great!!

Thank you in advance !!

Hey just some few hints as I don't know how your edit files look like.

But are the Lamba yellow to? if yes then you have to edit the mask of the 3 d item.

There are a Magnar youtube about editing mask, can't remember were :S

okey compile them into a Rar file and upload them on this part, as a attach file.
I might going to use it myself :3

Awesome thank you I'll upload then once I get off work.

Once I get my mod up I'm going to credit you haha.

And you can use it as much as you'd like.

Hey Khaitan heres the Rar file it has the diffuse I used, the rigid model i created and the varientmesh.

Hopefully thats all you need. Thank you again so much!!

It is not all also needs the texture2_colour_mask.dds which demand the you use Photoshop, I use Gimp which isn't enough, as it can't read the files.

Using Gimp shows it as invisible.
I got photoshop now will try tomorrow....

I have made the Mask file whole black so no color can be made to overwrite.
try it out =D
roman_standard_SP_mask.zip
I am having a few problems then I am saving a dds with gimp as you can see, it ruins the transperated part of the texture and the banner is grey, So I think I didn't save the Mask properly.

No Problem mate =)
But what program did you use to edit the diffuse file and how did you save it properly?
I am using Gimp most of the time.

Hey Khaitan I used Photoshop Essentials, but I will be upgrading to CS6. I save all diffuse files in DX1 i believe and i make sure not to flatten then image at all. Once you flatten an image it creates that white background which is no good. GIMP is good but after getting into some specular maps and normal maps I feel more comfortable with photoshop

Ohhh I have rewatch Magnar youtubes and found out:

Diffuse have to be saved as DXT1 with mipmaps on.
Mask have to be saved DXT5 with mipmaps? yeah I think so :S

But I made it work with My banner it looks great now =3

[Volgat]

Yep I believe that's it. Now I have to figure out how to get the specific animal I want on the top of the banner haha
