Interior Textures Degrading

by Troy Hidvegi · in General Discussion · 02/05/2004 (4:57 am) · 11 replies

On some of my costum Hammer interiors (seems to be the really complex ones) my texture quality drops off visibly while the player is still quite close. I ran these interiors in both T2 and Torque and came up with the same problem. Can anyone help?

Get just a small distance from this and you get crap.

Goto interior/interiorInstance.cc

Line 859, I think you know what needs to be done. :)

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean at all Chris. Please clarify?

If (dist != 0.0)
{
F32 length = dglProjectRadius(dist, 1.0f / pInterior->mAveTexGenLength);
if (length < (1.0 / 16.0))
{
TextureManager::setSmallTexturesActive(true);
}
}

Increase 1.0 / 16.0

I'm sorry guys I'm not a programmer and my knowledge of scripting Is extremely limited. Plus though I'm a Torque SDK owner I'm trying to do these interiors for T2. Am I looking for a specific script file to change?
Nick Q if it's the wrong forum please kindly point me to the right one.

Thanks: Troy H.

Torque stuff in torque forums, and of course the private ones when you start discussing actual engine code.
You could have posted in the modelling forums for Torque in this instance, since you'r e not interested in a coding solution, but something doable in scripts, etc.

This is to avoid clutter in the first forum in part, but also to make it more easier to find relevant information throughout the forums

You can't make this change in Tribes2, unfortunately, as it's a change to the C++ code.

Which should not be discussed outside of the private SDK forums.

Howsabout not giving the guy a problem, and giving 'em a link to the private and/or modeling forums? Just a thought :).

Make your object bigger in the program before exporting and scale it down in the mission.
