SCS Blender Tools

@MDModder You need to create a "base" directory. It should look like this in the pictures.

I think I helped you at least a little.

@tobrago

should we have something like this, with the converted game files in the base folder?

You can find these items that are red in the Blender Tools. Look at the picture. One tip, whenever a new version of the game comes out, I'll refresh those files.

• Paths:
  1. //def/world/trigger_action.sii
  2. //def/world/sign.sii
  3. //def/world/semaphore_profile.sii
  4. //def/world/traffic_rules.sii
  5. //unit/hookup
  6. //material/material.db

Ok, thanks this is working now, it will make things a bit easier for me.

Hi,

I'm just getting back into the new Blender and Blender Tools and wanted to know if there is any info on the recommended files that should be in the base this directory.

Also are there any updated tutorials on using Blender Tools for the latest versions of Blender as there seams to be a number of changes that I'm still trying to get my head around.

Thanks
Ken

My base directory is empty at start.
You can link the files and folder right from your extracted def.scs folder. Those file links, hookup folder don't have to be in your project's base (or mod-files) folder.

Is there a limit of looks for a model in game? I seem to remember seeing something about it somewhere

[Reinhard]

I doubt it. In the olden days, before a new def-based paintjob system for trailers was introduced, trailer skins were based on "looks". I once made a trailer mod where I had 60+ different looks. So if there is a limit, it isn't low.

And I faintly remember that the size of the "look" table in a PMD is identified by a variable, in the PMD header.

Thanks. I doubt I'll end up with 60+ different logos on the chromed lug-nuts for the trailer wheels though

I can't get the grip of baking AO in blender 2.8. The AO just gets noisy and I can't for my life find how to get it darker . It feels like I've tried all possible settings/changes in render properties tab. Is there any god settings somewhere that are shared?
