Bumpmapping -> normal maps?
by Kaya Dogan · in Torque Game Engine · 04/29/2006 (10:15 am) · 7 replies
I have merged the bumpmapped interior resource with my TGE sources...well...the link for the normalmaps.zip is broken and so I cannot get the normalmaps for the resource...I tried everything to create them myself...but I seem to be too stupid...can anyone please help me out with this? I badly need the normalmaps.zip...
Thanks in advance

Wait? tge has normal/bumpmap support? can you send me the link to this resource?

the warning in your Log say that you not complete merged the resource, at least the change in the materialPropertyMap.cc and materialPropertyMap.h are missing.
In this class the engine is looking for the materials and the standard tge is looking for "detail:", "environment:", "color:" and "sound:" if there is any other key word the warning you get is showing. So it seems you forgot to change at least this class.

Thanks Sven. Looks like I haven't merged the sources correctly. Now it works...or at least it compiles and shows me some bumpmapping...but I notice some 'tearing' when I am close to a bumpmapped wall/floor. Any idea how to fix that? My current hardware:AMD Athlon XP 2400+

Choose a texture and tweak and apply the normalmap on that texture and save it as youtextureDOT3.jpg or something.
Dont forget to change the propertymap.cs.
