Tutorial- Blender to Spring RTS

[zalpha]

Do you have any tutorials to take models from Blender to Spring RTS? I think I am making a simple error somewhere.

So far, I can get the model from Blender to Upspring (including UV and texture by reversing the alpha channel), but when I bring the S3O into Spring RTS, either the entire model is team color, or it is black. It's a simple model (all one object), and the textures show up fine in Upspring and Blender, but disappear when I bring them into RTS.

I've been able to get this far by muddling through the tutorials and documentation on the Spring site, but I've hit a wall. Not good when this is a big project with 72 base models.

Texture 1 color channels:
RGB = diffuse
A = team color

Texture 2 color channels:
R = glow
G = specular/reflective.

Your texture 1 it's alpha needs to be clear where ever you do not want teamcolor. Odds are your texture is solid.

This is the issue, let me know if you need further explanation.

*facepalm* Just found the problem. Just burn a scarlet "N" on my forehead for noob. Was putting the textures in the wrong folder in the zip.

I feel so ashamed.

Don't be, we all learn sometimes. I post stupid stuff all the time and I have been here forever :).

Glad to see your test unit is working, best of luck! In the future a more direct export maybe be a possibility, people are working to see that happen.

Shit happens. It's hard to think straight when you've been staring at the same thing for hours on end. We all do it (some of us more often than others... like me).
