Does environment mapping work on clients?

by Josh Albrecht · in Torque Game Engine · 12/16/2002 (11:40 am) · 5 replies

I havent been able to get env mapping working on clients. It works fine when I host the server and play on the same machine, but when someone else joins, enviroment mapping doesnt work for them. The clients all have the EXACT same files as I do, so that's not the case.

Has anyone else ever experienced this, or have any idea what could be causing the problem?

Thanks! :)

The environment map rendering code appears to scale the blending options depending upon what video card capabilities the clients have, maybe thats related

As far as I know, the client preference to turn on env mapping is false by default. Check that as well.

I've seen this problem too, it only happens to certain objects. Player model and flag is shiny which others are not.

Enviro mapping REQUIRES one to use LOD.

edit ... nevermind .. I didn't completly read your post. ;)

The emap datablock field (for environment mapping) for shape image datablocks was not being sent to the clients. A fix has been uploaded to CVS HEAD.

This should fix envornment mapping for ShapeImage objects.
