Arthurism Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Hi again, with help from @Alphathon I managed to make some normal textures for my tiled shuttle variant. But I don't know why there is still some remnants of the blankets when viewed in KSP Even though there is no such thing on my normal map texture Maybe someone could help me with this?

Doc Shaftoe Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 You may want to double check the alpha channels for your normal and diffuse textures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check the alpha channel? It isn't visible in that screenshot. Edit: looks like Doc Shaftoe beat me to it While you're at it, don't forget to remove the texturing from shuttleUV1_emit Edited June 27, 2022 by Alphathon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shaftoe Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'm glad it worked out for you! Benjee's excellent normal maps are what really gives his mods that extra visual "oomph." I'm always impressed by how well he's able to cram as much detail as possible into his mods without losing the stockalike aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Reonic Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 These new textures look fantastic. If anyone is interested, and providing they still exist, I once made configs for the different tank and SSME upgrades, including the lighter tanks and higher power engines. These could be incorporated into the SOCK recolor mod as part upgrade configs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I took it down and just am using the files for myself. But if possible I will try to get permission from @benjee10 about it, or I'll just send the files and stuff to someone who already has permission and see if they would like it and would want to release it.

I made a texture pack that adds a part switch that changes the cockpit, payload bay, and delta wing textures to be more inline with Columbia and Challenger's tiled design. And I'm wondering if @benjee10 would allow me to share this as a mod . Here's some sneak peeks: Challenger: Hide contents Columbia: Hide contents On 6/26/2022 at 6:45 AM, lemon cup said: Looks awesome. Have you tried generating a normal map texture for highlighting the tiles? I'm still getting the hang of editing UVs and that is next on my want-to-learn list. Speaking of, now's probably a good time to show off something similar that I've been working on: A set of textures that replicates the "scorched" exteriors that the Orbiters began to display towards the end of their lives in the late 2000s. Loosely based on Discovery after returning from STS-133, her last mission. Still polishing, then I'll probably see if can write them into the existing B9PartSwitchConfigs, or perhaps hand them off to another SOCK Recolor mod You guys should bundle all these together and release them - they look fantastic. Lovely attention to detail and we love to see pride month shuttle. You have my permission! @Arthurismyou have done a great job matching the normal map. Honestly not sure how you did that without the source files! Down the line I would like to deprecate the built-in shuttle names/flags, and instead provide some custom conformal decals. It would make things a lot easier from my standpoint (managing all the B9 switches is a real pain, especially with the left/right switches on the wings), provide better accuracy to the real shuttle (I would have various configs set up in the provided craft files), and allow for easier customisation (remove need for editing PSDs to add new names). Some of the stuff like the warning labels would probably be useful on other craft too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos113 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 @benjee10i know some people working on a part that is a modification of your shuttle cargo bay but it holds crew like the old crew shuttle idea, would you be interested in making it part of this mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personaly I've thought of just making new texture for each shuttle with flag and names apart of the texture, though that doesn't allow as much customization. Though with that it removes this little bug where the names one shuttles will "Flicker" as if it's too close to the other texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemon cup Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 5 hours ago, TheLoneOne said: where are the shinny habtech stuff from TexturesUnlimited is a mod that, among other things, allows you to write configs that changes the color and shininess of parts. It won’t do anything on it’s own without proper configs though. The mod “MagpieMods” adds some configs that will make lots of parts shiny. If anything, it is a quick way to get some examples of how to make your own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elro2k Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Hi @benjee10 I know you said recently that you're not planning on updating ReDirect any further. What does that mean for the shuttle external tank, since it uses parts from redirect? Would you simply just updates the parts required for the Shuttle?
