Got it working. Can xnormal be set to use GPU somehow?

Sorry not afaik. It takes a couple of hours on my quad. Especially if you have a lot of pre made ground plates.

It fails to process existing groundplates for me - for ZK:

dds exists and converted tga also exists. So where is the problem?

Fixed it, line 148 change to
Code: Select all
cmd='convert '+texdir+preplate+' '+texdir+preplate.partition('.')[0]+'.tga'

Thanks, I fixed that bug as well, just forgot to post it here cause noone seemed to use the code. I just ran the bakes for other people.

Im out of the country atm, but ill try to look into it. Did you apply the fix posted by licho?
Does 'eexperimentalfac_ao_occlusion.bmp' exist btw? (after running xnormal, ofc - does xnormal throw any errors) If so, is it next to aobaker.py?

Yes
No
No
Is what next to aobaker? Xnormal? Xnormal is an installer...

If the eefac*.bmp does not exist, check the path in xnormalsettings.xml for that file.

Well the path is right: C:\Users\yo momma\Documents\My Games\Spring\mods\evobake.sdd\eexperimentalfac_ao.bmp , the file just doesn't exist.

I request a bit more time, just got back from vacation. Does it fail for all units, or just that specific one? Does xnormal report any errors, or run for an oddly short amount of time?

What other games other than CA and Evo are using this? It seems I can no longer play either and I was curious if this might be the cause.

hey behe, I dunno if you know this or not, but you can use absurdly small texture sizes for groundplates and they will still look great. For example, 64x64 is plenty enough to cover up to 8x8 or so.
And that one unit is all I have tried. The process of it running and failing is very quick.

Thanks for the tip! But you will have to do some manual mask tweaking to get 64 by 64 right, cause I only have built-in masks for 128 to 512 sizes.
It seems your fac has a plate already defined, so burning a 512*512 plate should take quite a few minutes.
Because of this, I think xNormal is exiting early for some error - which may lie in it creating a corrupt .obj file.
Would you care to run xNormal as a standalone, and add the generated .obj file as a high and as low poly mesh into the program, and selecting AO from the bakes, and manually running the bake?

BA,CA,Evo, and SA all now crash before the game finishes loading. Pretty sure ground plates are the cause. Not really sure if there's anything that there' anything that can be done about it but here's the infolog.

What do you have ground scars set to in your springsettings?
