reflections [Defunct] [1.3] WindowShine-v16 - Gold foil update (26 December 17)

[Nhawks17]

I can say the ones I made do not need to be merged, they all work perfectly fine in their own .cfg files. Just need to make sure the Default folder has the correct layout so the textures are replaced.

[Beetlecat]

You can just install them both keeping both configs. You could merge them if you want to make it look cleaner but it isn't necessary. - It also could depend on the mods. Which packs are you installing?

Oh -- I see, they have unique names. The one I was using for Ven's was simply named "WindowShine.cfg" and overwrote the main mod file. The others are unique.

Exactly. Ven's revamp is a remake of stock parts and it has it's own reflective meshes, so for compatibility I made a new config for Ven's revamp that excludes the parts he changed.

I'm having issues selecting parts that have WindowShine textures when I'm in the VAB. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

[BudgetHedgehog]

Update TextureReplacer.

I haven't had any VAB related issues so far... could you elaborate on the problem? I hope I can find a fix.

Update TextureReplacer.

TR is linked to his main page and isn't included in WindowShine's download. If there's been an update with TR you'll need to download it via his main page (Also via the link in OP).

I was not able to select stock solar panels for action groups or move them. The same thing was happening with the hitchhiker storage container, cupola, and Mk3 Cockpit. Fortunately, updating TextureReplacer solved this problem. Thank you!

Ahh... I have heard of that issue actually! It occurred to a few people a while ago and it was related to TR and how it handled the reflection shader. I haven't been able to replicate it though. Great to hear it's working now!

No worries at all. Everyone get's busy

So by "Capsule external lights" not working [in the first post], this means the light-up windows & canopies in many new-ish cockpit and crew parts won't "glow" through the shine, right?

Makes me wonder if there isn't a way to toggle shininess upon hitting the light switch...

Sadly that is correct. I'm unsure how easy that would code but it sounds doable. You could take that idea up with Shaw if you want, as he's the master behind the code.

[BudgetHedgehog]

Sadly that is correct.

FWIW, it's possible to have both, but I think it needs to be on the model (Stock Part Revamp pits and pods have both lights and shiny, presumably because they are new models specifically set up to have both).

[Thahat]

proposall: if shiney-ness and and lights cant be merged, it might be "clean" to add a config that removes the lightswitch option and in doing so removes unusable clutter.

aditionally, the ven's stock revamp fix fix has some errors in it, i fixed them on my end but i forgot the exact details. it was the mk1 inline pod and the mk2 inline pod as far as i remember

Sadly I'm not a coder and I don't know how I would remove the toggle for lights. Sorry :/

Strange that Ven's stock revamp has errors with those parts... Ven's revamp doesn't change those textures at all and so it shouldn't be interfering with them. Could you tell me the changes you made so I can perform them on the OP download?

This is a wonderful mod. 10/10. Bravo! It's one of my go to mods now!

Thank you! Credit also goes to Shaw too! He did an amazing job with the reflection .dll

Joe, I've been using a lot of KAX / Fantom works in my builds. I used Windowshine in one of my latest videos showing off the shuttle cockpit and it makes all the other windows look like garbage. Any chance you could work your magic on there windows?

I've been a fan of his models for some time now actually . I don't think I'll have the time to create textures for his cockpits soon though.

[V8jester]

Oh no rush, just wanted to put the bug in your ear. Keep up the good work man!

No news on the update for 1.0.5?

I'm not saying that i don't have patience... but i love this little mod.

I'm waiting for confirmation that TextureReplacer runs in 1.0.5. As soon as I'm sure it does I'll push a release

Since I'm assuming that you're adding in reflectivity for the new Mk1 Cockpit and the Crew Cabin, can you detail the process for how to define reflectivity for a texture? It's somewhat documented, but I don't see a really clear step-by-step process for it.
