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

[LazyBoi29]

Hello, I'm trying to create my own TU configs for a mod but I'm having trouble with Texture switch.

Spoiler

@PART[TyphoonCockpit]:NEEDS[TexturesUnlimited]
{
    @MODULE[KSPTextureSwitch],0
    {        
        textureSet = recolor
    }
}
+KSP_TEXTURE_SET[MWNN_Stock_Paint]:NEEDS[TexturesUnlimited]
{
    @name = recolor
    @MATERIAL
    {
        
        vector = _DiffuseNorm,0.7355,0.7355,0.7355
        vector = _MetalNorm,0.48,0.48,0.48
        vector = _SmoothnessNorm,0.485,0.485,0.485
        
        texture = _MainTex,AirplanePlus/Parts/Command/fighterinlinecockpit/fighterinlinetex
        texture = _MaskTex,TURD/TU_APP_Recolour/Command/FighterInlineCockpit/180_fighterinlinetex_Paint
    }
}

Spoiler

@PART[TyphoonCockpit]:NEEDS[TexturesUnlimited]
{
    MODULE
    {        
        name = KSPTextureSwitch
        sectionName = Appearance
        currentTextureSet = DefaultTexture
        textureSet = DefaultTexture
    }
    %MODULE[SSTURecolorGUI]
    {
        %name = SSTURecolorGUI
    }
}
+KSP_TEXTURE_SET[Stock_Default]:NEEDS[TexturesUnlimited]
{
    @name = DefaultTexture
    @MATERIAL
    {        
        texture = _MainTex,AviationCockpits\Command\Typhoon_texture
    }
}

Top is Recolour, bottom is default. I am using placeholder textures for Recolour.

I feel like I'm missing something, how do I install this?  I installed it and the recolor through ckan, but I don't have any available in game options.

Been a couple.

 

It's either on the blizzy toolbar after adding through toolbar controller GUI 

I think it makes custom .cfg based on what you do in the GUI

Or it's the one you have to find the .cfg / write it yourself. I think there a toolbar.

 

 

IIRC

 

Look for the Icon for Blizzy (Yellow Arrow)

Right Click

Add Button

Select the icon for TU

Click the TU button the the Toolbar

Hello, found a visual bug with the new Eve clouds

 

Why does this happen?

CLOUDS
As u can see, there are not clouds in the reflections at ground altitude. Ground elements are reflected correctly.

85.000m

120.000m

Noticed that in this distance, kerbin does a fast flickering when moving camera, which is possible to be related.
160.000m? This last less than a seconds (i think it's reloading kerbin textures, but not sure why)

159.993m (camera near planet)

159.993m (camera far from planet, no reflections)

200.000m (all good)

 

Its the same behaviour that you have on helmets... the problem is that the game updates the 3D layer into 2D layer and reflection only works with 2D layer, but i'm guessing, im noob. i'm using chrome colour on TURD. Also the update reflection of the helmet is much slower, i did changes on @default.cfg (reflection resolution and interval) with no luck, any help?

Can confirm, having the same problem. Maybe you can ask @blackrack?

I'm trying to create a basic patch to give a metallic aspect to most of my modded parts, however I am unsure how to handle multiple variants, or how to select one specific variant to make it metallic. I'm talking about the stock variant system, the one that was introduced with Making History, not B9 part switch or some other mod. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a way to perform operations on certain values of texture ? currently i'm trying to make a simple stock replacement config using the TU_STOCK_SPEC keyword, however most "painted" parts end up having smoothing at basically 0. I'd like to make it so smoothness can't go below a certain value so everything has a little bit of shine

i feel dumb asking but why are the b9 procedural wings only coming up with this brushed metal looking texture?  is there a way i can make it look not like that?

Im using the B9 Procedual wings (fork), and when i install this mod it forces the wings to be shiny and stuff, is there any way to revert back to the normal stock style without deleting TU?

nvm i fixed it

fixed issue

Hey, is it possible you create KSPTextureSwitch so it accepts multiple KSP_TEXTURE_SETs? Creating slider for each one or dancing with variant switch aren't great choices

[MrShelter]

Also can you add filtering not only by meshes, but also by materials? Since this happened recently:

hi there im trying to remove textures unlimited from the b9 procedural stuctural wings. i cant find the folder its in and i can use the help

[1FingerSalute]

It's in KerbalSpaceProgram>GameData>B9_Aerospace_ProceduralWings folder. The file is called: "B9WingsUnlimited.cfg". The way I did it was open the file and delete it's contents and save it, that way CKAN doesn't try to replace it.
