NEW Modded ship appears as team color

Modded Ships

December 14, 2018 9:13:20 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

So, I'm making a MOD based on a novel I'm writing, and I wanted to add in a new flagship for the race I'm making. Problem is, I've a created the ship in blender, added the new ship through the XSI mod tool Softimage, made all the textures in GIMP. Now, she appears as see-through. And I don't know what to do.

The new flagship I made appears see through

Did you make all three textures? Each ship needs a _cl (colour map) _da (data map) and _nm(normal map)

The colour map, you need an alpha layer for the team colour, in the data map, you set metal-look, reflection, bloom and illumination....
the normal map is just a normal map, makes things look like they have raised or lowered bits while the geometry is flat.

Anyway, it looks like something is up with the _da texture as well as your team alpha layer in the _cl

I'll check it out right now. I kept thinking it was the way the ship was designed in Blender. And I REALLY don't want to have to redesign her.

You won't have to redesign it, you just need to make the rest of the textures.

Yeah, what Goa said.
You can always edit the .mesh file by hand to add the missing textures once you have made them
