Probably-stupid question about 3DO textures

... can they make use of the second textures that S3O can use? I've seen reflectionmaps, but no glowmaps...

Why?

Because this weekend I plan to not sleep, is why.

Don't think so. On 3do textures reflection is the alpha (team color textures are defined by teamtex.txt or whatever that file is). You can't do the self illumination on 3do textures.

I do see 3do units with self-illumination, as enviorment reflection.

I have no idea how to accomplish this though. And converting a unit to s3o is a load of work (since it needs to be complete retextured).

I don't see any self illumination, just ultra high reflection values...

Self illumination is not reflection, self illumination is the light patterns you'd see on a car for instance cast by it's own headlights. Reflection is the reflection of lightsources outside of the model, self illumination is the reflection of lightsources found on the unit body.

I've looked at the format, and 3DO doesn't support glowmaps, period. Bummer. Ah well.
