Hello, i want to know if it's possible edit the net of 3d courts for world tour to add some logo.

Hello,

right now, it's possible to have only 1 net.
You can add logos near the net in "SignOutdoor.3DS" or "SignIndoor.3DS", though, and have 1 different for each court.
But the net changes size depending of singles/doubles, so it might be complicated to find a positioning that works in both cases.

where are this files? "SignOutdoor.3DS" or "SignIndoor.3DS"

[manutoo]

In Data/Pak01.Pak/Data/Models .
And you configure them in GameSys.ini ; there are already some examples in it.

Hi manutoo, it's possible add in the center of the net "atpworldtour"???
which program can i use for edit the .3ds files besides photoshop???
thanks.

[manutoo]

3ds Max can import & export .3ds files.
www.blender.org is free & might be able to import .3ds files as well.

Hi manutoo, i edit the "net.3ds" file and add the logos in the left and the right, but when i go to the game the logo is white and just appear one at the left.
What i did wrong???

[manutoo]

check that :
- you did a copy and not a clone
- you did 2 sides, ie: 1 polygon for front & 1 for back (engine doesn't support 2-face materials)

about texture : I guess you have to use the same texture than the net, not another one. Or you mixed up the texture, check the System.log .

Check this: I work with 3ds Max



I tired with copy and clone and the result is the same.

[manutoo]

It looks like the right part is there => can see a little white triangle.
Might be a problem with the texture used then. Check error/warning in System.log for hints.

Hello manutoo, i want to put "atpworldtour" in the net i do a white plane with the text, so i give a transparency, with two maps in 3ds Max, but when i go to the game just recognizes the first map and don't the transparency map, I can see this in system.log.

So in the game i can see just the texture and i want to see just the letters.
How i can solucionate this? Please
Thanks.

You can have only 1 texture per object ; but .Tga images can have an alpha ( = opacity) channel.
Check the current net texture to see how it's done.

[tennisman]

I tried with .tga files and alpha channel, but i have the same result, in the 3ds max looks good, but in the game appears the white plane.




Here is the system.log report

================ 3DS Loader : Data\Models\Net.3DS ================
New Object: 'net'

Any Other idea?
Thanks

Ok, you have to create shader to tell to use the opacity channel.
Look for "Data/Models/Textures/Net" in "Scripts/Tennis.Shader" to get an example.
