Deactivation of Shadowbounce

[Florenzius]

Hey there,

I hae a problem since some days... If I have a surface of an item in the shadow-site, the texture is pretty bright and like "glowing" there. I already tried to find a solution with others, but I can confirm, the lightmaps are okay and the specular-map is okay too (btw. the speculars are only visible at the light-side, so it can't be that). I already tried to change the shading to flat, but it's the same result.. Does anyone have a similar problem?

You would save my objects! Thank you very much

It's the bounce from the light that is a little strong in Canyon and makes this. Test it on a darker surface or on a ground in a shadow and see if it's still the case

Oh, thanks for the quick answer! I'm calmed down, if it's no problem with the items this time

If this is problem for you I think you can turn off shadow bounce in Mood.xml file and calculate shadows again.

In which mood.xml-file? In the mod, which I am using? If yes, I need to create it

So we will see a TM-Desert in maniaplanet?

maybe... who knows?.

Well just for calculating shadows you can use temporary ModWork folder and put your Mood.MoodSetting.xml file in ModWork/Moods/Day/ then start game and recalculate shadows on your map.

Or you can put it in the Mod zip file, then every map calculated with that mod will be without shadow bounce effect.

Okay, thank you. So If i checked right, I'll set the

Code: Select all

BounceFactor

to 0

Code: Select all

<T3LightMap MaxHDR="5" BounceFactor="3" SkyFactor="0.3" SkyUseClouds="1" />

Hey there again,

sadly I didn't get the result, I expected by changing some values in the Mood-XML. I figured out how I can make the Dirt-Texture 1:1 like in United, but well, I have The texture Dirt_X2 there, which is grey now and makes it look more like in United. But I can't do this with textures, which are too bright ingame. I think that's from the engine, but from the shadow-bounce too. I don't know, how I make it look like in United

Sorry, if I misunderstood something, but this looks crappy
