[QUESTION] Fade effect in fire textures

<< < (2/2)

modulate 2x + no depth test

or

addtive + no depth test + two sided
--- End quote ---

I tried both of them already, none worked.
I dont think the problem is in the render flags, but probably in the .Skin Flags uchar flags2 and uint16 order flag, specially the order flag cuz this flag always have a very high number in cataclysm (like 32k), and i change it to 0 in order to fix the texture in-game.

I thinks this flags are used to activate the shader,  as explained here:

http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php ... ture_units

However, i dont understand very well the explanation and i dindt manage to work out the shader effect... feel free to download the model and try to fix it.

Soldan:
Well.. after looking into this stuff for a while, and realizing, and trusting your investigation...

I saw what you said on the fading in the .skins,

"0x02    uint16   Shading      If set to 0x8000: shaders. Used in skyboxes to ditch the need for depth buffering. See below."

0x8000 is 32768 in decimal. The model won't load ingame if "order" is left as 32768...

Mm, I'll keep looking.

Soldan:
Right, sorry for double post.

I tried setting the "Order" in the skin files on the "animated" textures to 32768, as the wiki defines, 32768 is shading.

This makes the animated textures "disappear". Now, the model doesn't look too bad, but I'd prefer it with the animated fire.

I think there are two solutions. Wotlk doesn't support 32768 (shading), either that or there must be a way to set the AMOUNT of shading.. Perhaps there is another field that you have to lower, or higher the shading that occurs.

Here's a pic anyway..
