[1.9.x] Textures Unlimited - PBR-Shader, Texture Set, and Model Loading API


Shadowmage

Recommended Posts

If you have the unofficial stock cfg installed youve probably noticed the landing gears looking very weird. That weird looking texture where the light should be is from the lights "flare mesh" which makes the light look like its bending and fading out over distance, I think?

anyways you can add "excludeMesh = Flare" or "excluseMesh = flare" to get them looking normal again. This had me confused for a bit, thought id share my fix. cheers!

Example snipit

MATERIAL // Metal
    {
        shader = SSTU/PBR/Metallic
        
        inheritTexture = _MainTex
        inheritTexture = _BumpMap
        inheritTexture = _Emissive

        excludeMesh = flagTransform
        excludeMesh = Flag
        excludeMesh = Flare
        excludeMesh = flare

Can anyone point me some documentation the SSTU/PBR/Metallic -- Unity 5 Standard-Metallic workflow, diff/met/nrm/ao/glow

especially how to set the glow

It uses the exact same workflow as the Unity-Metallic shader, so any documents/tutorials for that should be applicable.

As to the glow -- you need to have your GLOW texture, and then set the material emission properties to enable it (either through plugin code, e.g. for engines, or set the default values on the material itself for full-time glow).

What specifically are you needing information on?

I would like to use it to add thermal heating effects to radiators. What I'm looking for is some example where the shader is configured for glow and throttled by some unity c# code

Should be entirely doable.  Here is the code that I use for that shader for engine emission (really, the same code works for any KSP shader with emission support):

https://github.com/shadowmage45/SSTULabs/blob/master/Plugin/SSTUTools/SSTUTools/Module/SSTUAnimateEngineHeat.cs

Specifically, it is this lines that applies the color to the material:

https://github.com/shadowmage45/SSTULabs/blob/master/Plugin/SSTUTools/SSTUTools/Module/SSTUAnimateEngineHeat.cs#L191

 

The 'setup' is accomplished through config files, the same way other textures/materials are setup for TU with config files.  I don't really have any examples on hand that use that specific shader.... but they are all handled the same way --

https://github.com/shadowmage45/SSTULabs/blob/master/GameData/SSTU-PBR/PBRConversions/TextureSets-SC-B - Apollo - PBR.cfg#L1-L21

Note, specifically, the line that lists the emission texture -- https://github.com/shadowmage45/SSTULabs/blob/master/GameData/SSTU-PBR/PBRConversions/TextureSets-SC-B - Apollo - PBR.cfg#L13

@ShadowmageI play KSP 1.4.3. My game crashes just after the startup loading screen which is when the right lower loading icon shows just before the main menu should pop up. Only when I run with TU. I use the force Direct X 11 mode.

edit: KSP_x64.exe says it has 2 processes running. But I really didn't told it to. There should only be 1 process running. But it starts with one process then near the end of the loading process it turns into 2 processes and then crashes.

I'm a noob at reading these kind of things. 

2nd edit: It only happens when launching ksp in either opengl or directx while using scatterer. So it has nothing to do with TU. If people can still help me with that then don't hesitate to post.

I just ask but i think the answer is no^^. Is this mod compatible with previous versions like 1.2.2?

Sadly, no; the earliest initial releases were for 1.3.1; there is no code that goes back to 1.2.x.

Is there a UI for changing part appearances in-game? Because if there is, I can't find it.

Also, all modded parts are unaffected by the mod.

TU provides an API for other mods to use, it doesn't do anything to any parts by default.

I believe this mod isn't reponsible for making all parts shine. It only provides other people to make their config files to give use to the shaders provided by TU.
Now, there is the stock patch that electrocutor made, and also you can paint SSTU parts made by shadowmage with a complete UI dedicated to paint them. But other parts mods should have their own patches to make their part "shine" because TU isn't supposed to make everything shine automatically.

Installed mod, dependencies, and a set of configs for stock parts but i get no texture loading at space center. Parts load fine in hangar, but preview are nonexistent. Cannot launch a craft, black screen. no textures. I can here sounds and can move around (based on instruments) but no textures.

Did i do something wrong or is the mod just not 1.4.4 compatible

Note: Tried on DX11 and OpenGL. same result both times.

Would be lovely to have some of those shader parameters animated by ship age/use, like have a second diffuse color to show the reentry burn effects...

As they are just shader params, any mod can edit them on the fly (e.g. through material.setXXXX methods).  Nothing stopping you (or anyone) from making such a mod.  It has been suggested before though, and simply not anything that I'm interested in implementing (would be a fairly large project, with very minimal return on investment).  Certainly would be an interesting addition though, and I would gladly provide pointers/info if needed to anyone who undertook the project.

So I'm using a bunch of mods that have Textures Unlimited as a dependency. And I'm sure it's a great and glorious mod.
Pretty much all I notice of it, though, is pretty dark.
Specifically Procedural Fairings, which I use a lot, from the fairing bases to the fairings themselves. As you can see here, the fairings look pretty dark when I try and launch:
1lp.png
While, in the VAB, they don't look like that:
1VAB.png
But what does look like that in the VAB is the fairing base, and the Near Future Solar solar-panels.
2VAB.png

I looked through this thread, but couldn't find a solution. I'm visually handicapped, so it's quite plausible that I might have overlooked it. In which case I apologize for cluttering up the place, but would humbly request to be pointed at said solution.

In case I didn't, but am just doing something wrong (most likely, actually). What am I doing wrong?
Is Textures Unlimited looking for some manner of light/shade/reflectivity maps for the affected textures and, failing to find such, can only present the affected surfaces as though in darkness? Or is it just some setting that I've buggered up?
Here be my graphics settings: http://www.utmc-forum.org/KSP/1settings.png
Using DirectX 12, btw., too many crashes and bsods in OpenGL mode.

I have tried, on a few occasions, to start the game without Textures Unlimited. Stuff looks normal, though I suspect I'm missing something. As you can deduce from my graphics settings, I'm not so bothered about getting the most luxurious optics.
Is that my only option, just starting the game without it?

Thanks in advance for any advice and help!

@DerGolgo  TexturesUnlimited doesn't adjust any parts by itself.  literally it does nothing.

Whatever problem you may be experiencing is certainly being caused/created by the patch-set you are using.  It is these patches that apply various effects to the parts.  I did not write them, and do not maintain them.  Nor do I have any idea what they are supposed to do, so have nothing to compare against for intended proper behaviour.

What patch sets or mods have you installed that use TU?  That can at least tell us where to start looking for support.

(For reference, the only end-user TU related problems that I will actively offer support for are for the parts in SSTU -- that is the only place where I have personally written configs for the parts;   any other problems that are encountered need to be reported to the author of the TU-patch set, and -they- need to contact me to submit any bug reports needed to fix issues in their patch sets).

@Shadowmage, I apologize, I didn't mean to suggest you should do support for other people's mods.
Since the issue here only appears when I load the game with TU and affects parts from two different mods (Procedural Fairings and Near Future Solar), written by different people as far as I can see, I thought any single cause would likely be on some more fundamental level, most likely my own incompetence.

I don't suppose there's a complete-ish list of mods that use TU anywhere?

As far as I know there are zero other mods that actually use TU except from SSTU.  Everything else is third-party patches; written neither by me nor the mod author, but by a third-party individual.  It is likely one of these third-party patches that you have that is effecting your parts.

Could you provide a list of folders inside your GameData folder?  That should give some indication of what mods/patch sets you have installed, and from there, should tell us where to look for the culprit.

I had been pretty sure I had installed no such patches. But while I was making that list of folders, I found that I had installed extra textures for procedural fairings, and for near future solar panels. It seems to work now. Thank you.

No worries; glad you got it figured out.  If you know the source of those folders (rather, the patches therein), and could link to their forum posts, I can check out what is going on with the patches and perhaps help the authors get them sorted out.

The only indication I can find as to how I got them is the folder creation date. All are from the 12th, this month.
I swear, I can't even remember ever installing them. Must have just zipped by, thought "Ooooh, shiny!", installed them, and then forgot all about it. The files themselves have no indication of authors in them.

The folder names are:
TexturesUnlimited_KRE
TexturesUnlimited_NearFutureSolar
TexturesUnlimited_ProceduralFairings
TexturesUnlimited_TundraExploration

I've just searched for all four in Add-On Releases. Literally the only result is a comment by @Mecripp, here:

No clue whether he is at all involved in the creation of the patch or is just another user (though a happier one than I, it appears).
