Red Shirt Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I'm running SVE/Scatterer. Kopernicus, OPM. and a number of other planet packs, no SVT. I had no problems in what little testing I've done since getting help making force dx11 working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agustin Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 You can install SVT, at least in my install I can as only Kerbin looks weird but all other planets look good. Just uninstall kerbin CFG file and that's it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerGolgo Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Just FYI. Couldn't find the strings "AVC" or "404" in the last two pages of comments, so I guess it may not have been mentioned yet. When KSP AVC tells me that there's a new version of textures unlimited and I click "download", I get github's "404 Page Not Found" page for the URL " https://github.com/shadowmage45/SSTULabs/releases/tag/1.0.0.7 " , which matches the download URL in the version file of the latest release linked in the OP, and but for the last numeral, matches the download URL int he version file of 1.0.0.6, which was a 6, obviously. Somewhere, there's a muddle, which users of AVC might be confounded by. Edited December 21, 2017 by DerGolgo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't have to get involved / do it myself, as that was going to be no fun getting caught up on the MFI/Kopernicus/SVT codebases. Edit: Looking over the change-log, it appears that it might have just been some texture related problems; was really only a couple texture files that got updated.

Expand The RGB_Gray is a color preset I made because it most closely causes TINT-mode recoloring to be equal to the original colors of the diffuse. To recolor parts in-game, you'll need to use the SSTU/PBR/Masked shader, create and set a _MaskTex texture with the _MainTex.A copied into _MaskTex.A and with _MaskTex.RGB set to the three-region recolor zones; then add the SSTURecolorGUI partmodule and set recolorable = true. I'm not fond of the Masked shader because it does not work logically to how KSP works or how you'd think a masked pbr shader would; so you'll need to look at Shadowmage's SSTU config files and textures to see how to use it properly.

Jiraiyah Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 well, I didn't want to offend you. ok, looked to some examples, here is what i found from PorkjetStock : @PART[*]:FOR[zzzz_PorkjetStock2]:HAS[#author[*Porkjet*]&@MODEL:HAS[#model[Squad/Parts/Wheel/LandingGear/*]]] { @MODULE[KSPTextureSwitch] { TEXTURESET { name = PorkjetStock_Custom_gear } } MODULE { name = SSTURecolorGUI } } on the part section nothing is special, but, on the texture set when he is defining the masked texture... KSP_TEXTURE_SET { name = PorkjetStock_Custom_gear title = Custom recolorable = true TEXTURE { shader = SSTU/PBR/StockMetallicBumped excludeMesh = FLAG excludeMesh = flare excludeMesh = Flare excludeMesh = Base excludeMesh = BayDoor1 excludeMesh = BayDoor2 excludeMesh = mesh PROPERTY { name = _Color color = 1.75,1.75,1.75 } PROPERTY { name = _Metal float = 0.75 } PROPERTY { name = _Smoothness float = 1.0 } } TEXTURE { shader = SSTU/PBR/Masked texture = _MaskTex,Squad/Parts/Wheel/LandingGear/LandingGear mesh = Base mesh = BayDoor1 mesh = BayDoor2 mesh = mesh PROPERTY { name = _Color color = 1.0,1.0,1.0 } PROPERTY { name = TINTING_MODE keyword = TINTING_MODE } PROPERTY { name = _Metal float = 0.0 } PROPERTY { name = _Smoothness float = 0.0 } } COLORS { mainColor = rgb_gray secondColor = rgb_gray detailColor = rgb_gray } } so, as i understand, here the texture was assigned to tweak the places that are color changable? and if i want to let the whole part change color i should use your gray color? am i missing something or did i get it right?

Expand Kind of, sort of. The mask texture tells what portions of the model are recolorable. You will -always- need a mask texture, even if it is just a fully red texture. If you need gray textures or not will depend on what mode you want to use, see below. First, you need to decide if you want to do it the fully recolorable way (recoloring mode), or tinting way (tinting mode). If you want to do the tinting mode -- sorry, I can't really help you with that. You'll have to ask someone else (likely @Electrocutor as he's the only one using the system that would know how to set things up). I don't personally support that mode, and only added it by special request -- I have no idea how the textures or configs are supposed to be setup for it. If you want to do the fully recolorable way -- first start by making a mask texture for your part. Open up the texture files for the part (you do have a .psd or .xcf for it, right?), and create a mask texture -- this texture tells the recoloring system what parts of the model are effected by the different recoloring channels. You will want portions of the texture to either be full Red, full Green, or full Blue, depending on what recoloring channel will effect those meshes/uvs. If there is a portion of the model that you -don't- want to be recolorable, set it to black in the mask texture. Get back to me once you've done that (show your work -- original diffuse, and the new mask), and we can work out the creation of the recolorable diffuse/specular/metallic texture setups. Then we can work on the configs. (rather you can work on the configs, and I'll try and help catch/fix errors -- will likely need more information at that point like name and path of the textures, part name, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
