SCS Blender Tools

[siebel3d]

@tobrago Converterpix? I don't know but it's the one thing that allows Blender to import SCS models.

I think he meant that about the update. The Linux binary was updated.

But, the same was made for Windows too.

Yes, after all, both files were updated, more precisely on 03/24/2023

Requires an update to Conversion Tools

Old version of mat files

Code: Select all

material : "eut2.dif.spec.amod.dif.spec.tsnmapuv.asafew.a.rfx" {
	texture[0] : "/material/building/metal/generic_metal_painted_02_trim_difspec.tobj"
	texture_name[0] : "texture_base"
	texture[1] : "/material/decal/softdecal/softdecal_concrete_01_opa.tobj"
	texture_name[1] : "texture_mask"
	texture[2] : "/material/building/metal/generic_metal_02_trim_nrm.tobj"
	texture_name[2] : "texture_nmap"
	texture[3] : "/material/decal/softdecal/softdecal_concrete_01_difspec.tobj"
	texture_name[3] : "texture_over"
	add_ambient : 0
	amod_decal_blending_factors : { 1 , 1 }
	diffuse : { 1 , 1 , 1 }
	reflection : 0.1
	shininess : 40
	specular : { 1 , 1 , 1 }
	queue_bias : 1
}

New version of mat files

Code: Select all

effect : "eut2.dif.spec.amod.dif.spec.tsnmapuv.asafew.a.rfx" {
	additional_ambient : 0.000000
	diffuse : { 1.000000 , 1.000000 , 1.000000 }
	reflection : 0.100000
	shininess : 40.000000
	specular : { 1.000000 , 1.000000 , 1.000000 }
	amod_decal_blending_factors : { 1.000000 , 1.000000 }
	texture : "texture_base" {
		source : "/material/building/metal/generic_metal_painted_02_trim_difspec.tobj"
	}
	texture : "texture_mask" {
		source : "/material/decal/softdecal/softdecal_concrete_01_opa.tobj"
	}
	texture : "texture_nmap" {
		source : "/material/building/metal/generic_metal_02_trim_nrm.tobj"
	}
	texture : "texture_over" {
		source : "/material/decal/softdecal/softdecal_concrete_01_difspec.tobj"
	}
}

If it is not changed manually, the game will crash

This trailer's shadow is truncated at the mudflaps of its front axle. Also, the shadow fluctuates up and down, getting shorter or longer depending on road surface smoothness. This anomaly has been there since well-before v1.47 so it's not the 'bumpy roads' feature.
There's no errors/warnings about it and it 'seems' to be all correct, visually, when imported to Blender. Iknow little about these things so I'm asking for help.

Converter and Tools need to be updated!

I got some problem after the model export.
In blender , the UV looks workring good.
But after export, and I import the pim file back to the blender, the UV was snapping,it makes the texture strange.
I try to mark seams but nothing happen.
How can I fix it?Thanks!

@shadowyue
It's been like this for the past 9+ months. I reported it, but the person who coded this feature is silent.
I tried searching the various py files in the scs addon, for anything that has to do with UV welding/stitching or whatever, to no avail. i don't seem to know the right keywords.

@ shadowyue

My experience was that mark seams not work with blender and SCS
To avoid wrong mapping like you experianced,
I used the Y key
my workflow for that:
seeing mismapping in game or re_import
I try to select that area in edit mode, and pres the Y key
that makes island of the selection. (like using mark seam)
Be aware of the total look of your model, that it stil looks the way it suppose to.(normals)
Not satisfied: Controle Z (undo) and make new try.
good luck

mark seams is for UV unwrapping, not for games, it just tells blender where the UV mapping is cut when you unwrap it, the moment you export it the marked seams are irrelevant because UV coordinates are saved, i use marked seams all the time when i unwrap geometries i make

@overfloater @tinusman Thank you guys. Currently, my solution is to keep the UVs of these two parts far apart or directly next to them (instead of just maintaining a little distance as in my image), and this problem will be solved. This object is a whole, but the UV is divided into several parts. I suspect that when these UVs are close together, they will be snap together when exported.
@xXCARL1992Xx Thanks bro,my other model marked the seams, but it still caused this problem, so at that time I would think it was not a problem with marking the seams.
