Symetry

[Gniarf]

Symmetry problem - round 2: whenever I set a negative scale in a .CWeapon file the weapon turns black as if there were no light at all on it.
I looked through the .lua&.CWeapon files, but I didn't find the definition of that light (I used the vampgun as a test subject).

So, does anyone know how to restore the weapons to their normal looks?
Or at least can someone explain me why the weapons are turning black?

sounds like it inverts the vertex normals along with the model

1-Thanks.
2-I'm working on it, but I've got a busy RL now.
3-...2 sided texture rendering should do it, right?

Not even a reference to some light object(s)?

Save for the muzzle flash and various firing fx, yes - no lights at all.

Ok, I have a few questions:
1-What's the diffrence between 3d mesh and 3d model?
2-What happens if I negate vertex uv coordinates (or rather only u cooridnates)?

1. My guess: mesh is a raw model - a skeleton if you like - without any particular detail (like texture, dynamics, etc) associated with it.
2. No guess on that one.

..I had to write a special program to parse pkmdl files and invert vertex normals, though...
...And there are still some glitches...for example I wonder where that giant ammo bar popped from...

But, hehe, Gniarf's HaPpY atm.

Wow, that's a very impressive screenshot!
The giant bar come from the amount of the ammo in the clips - at least the bars have grown in my Armour of God mod when I increased clip size.

OMG very nice idea!

and what about two rocket launcher in both hands?

btw, for dual weapons you should increase ammo capacity
