[simple quarry]

Is it so weird having both chiefs shoulder pads

[alpine frost]

I did help a little, but most of the effort goes to Gruntington. Bravo sir.

[twin tide]

I've noticed an issue with a few of the zones in terms of colouring for 2 of the new shoulder pieces

Zone 4 on the UA/T-55 edits 2 textures, whereas in game it has a subarea that gets a different colour

(Left is blend, Right is ingame)

So the masks are flipped it would appear

[lunar sleet]

It’s worth nothing the materials barely work in the TAC/MX CUTTER hip attachment.

[ebon willow]

Check the shading tab and see if the masks are wrong

[lunar sleet]

Good idea

That worked

Thank you very much

[ebon willow]

A few of the textures are borked because of that, and sometimes if the normals look wrong if it has a weighted normals modifier, remove it

[remote geyser]

importing this stuff into my own version of the spartanpack rn
if anyone else is doing this;
all the old stuff should be marked with .001, everything new is below the old stuff
just delete hierarchy the .001 stuff (except the categories so you dont delete the new stuff too) thenyou should be left with only new stuff
select them all, parent to rig, empty groups, then throw them in the usual collections
should work easy and quickly, gonna lag when you do the parent tho

[alpine frost]

Its not the weighted normals, you should keep that, what you need to do is remove the split normals if their is any.

Then you would apply the weighted normals if they haven't been.

The weighted normal modifier is needed and needs to be applied in the case of HI meshes.

[ebon willow]

It worked for this

Even Chunch was shocked it fixed it

[alpine frost]

Is their any split normal data on it?

[ebon willow]

Meaning?

[alpine frost]

I mean it literally.

[ebon willow]

I'm saying idk what that means

[lost siren]

I think Barrister is using the wrong mask 1?

[lunar sleet]

I didn’t see anything regarding split normals, no.

[ebon willow]

Swap mask 0 and Mask 1

[alpine frost]

Which ones are those?

[ebon willow]

With normals weighted

[lost siren]

nope

[ebon willow]

FLSF Type C

[ebon willow]

Might need to work your way through the masks then, I can help

[alpine frost]

Uhuh..your right, I wonder if HIRT is properly getting out data that I didn't realize, one moment.

[lunar sleet]

Probably the closest I'll get to my in-game Spartan 'till Olympus is back up.

[ebon willow]

I know, that's what I was saying

[alpine frost]

Seriously, that should not be happening from my knowledge.

[remote geyser]

im about to try doing that too lol, gonna take FOREVER to get the stripes

[smoky wadi]

why are you doing flat shade auto smooth

[alpine frost]

That is not flat shade.

That smooth shade + auto smooth.

[smoky wadi]

idc

its fucked either way casey

you need to put weighted normals on that

and remove any sharp edges

might fix the isssue

[lunar sleet]

Oh damn

Can't be as mad as my techsuit lol. Shit uses a stupid pattern I have no idea how to replicate.

[alpine frost]

That is the thing, this had weighted normals on originally..and apparently they were saying the non-weighted normals state was correct, when I said otherwise.
Which is why I am going into HIRT to pull out those shoulders to check for myself.

[remote geyser]

i did that texture before, just used some generic carbon fiber texture
I can send you my character file with the texture if you want so you can throw it on yours

[smoky wadi]

repulling from hirt wont do anything

we cant grab the original mesh normals in hirt

[lunar sleet]

I would appreciate that, thank you.

[alpine frost]

Right, which I was saying originally that it is not weighted normals fault. If their was any data on it for normals those are not correct, and weighted normals stems the issue somewhat.

@ebon willow So yes, as I thought before, the weighted normals version is the correct version, not the sharp edge non-weighted version.

[smoky wadi]

neither are right

[alpine frost]

I am saying in the case of what should be done.

You should be using weighted normals regardless for all this stuff.

[ebon willow]

It works without them though?

And looks better

[alpine frost]

It doesn't since without weighted normals, it has no actual normal data to properly work with.

We can not get any of the original mesh normal data.

[smoky wadi]

it works/looks better with just shade auto smooth

but neither are good

both are fucked

[ebon willow]

I found the normal mask so far "a88cdb4f"

Which seemed to fix it

[hazy valley]

So.. Is the HAZMAT stuff hither?

[rigid orbit]

well i was going to wait till i got a new drive to do more blender stuff but i have something i want to look at so i guess i'll get it now

[alpine frost]

@ebon willow @lost siren The proper textures for Barrister

What you will need to do most likely is vertically flip the textures around in Blender in the image editor section.

If you need me to do it, I will just do it myself quickly here and resend these.

[ebon willow]

Mask 0 is the only broken one

[languid panther]

Yo, new Spartan Pack! Yes I know I am late to the party

[alpine frost]

It appears to be the same one, so you most likely will just need to flip the texture around vertically in the image editor section.

[ebon willow]

I flipped just mask 0 and its fixed

[alpine frost]

That is what I said, so good.

[ebon willow]

You do need to do this though

Since the masks are flipped by default

[alpine frost]

You are right on that, as df8f is Mask 0, and a2c2 is Mask 1.

The shader has Mask 0 and Mask 1 flipped vs the internal tag order which is Normal, Mask 0, Mask 1, Base Occlusion ( ASG ).

[lost siren]

Courier is missing

I'm pretty sure

[wise orchid]

is the Chimera armor core in this pack?

[remote geyser]

no

[alpine frost]

For reference, this pack does not include Mark 7, or Yoroi Gloves ( This takes weighting effort that would have added on to the making time. ), nor SPI, Nor Chimera, Nor Hazmat, only any non-glove pieces added to Mark and Yoroi for Season 3 and 4.

[brazen dagger]

wtf no bionicle mask? literally unusable 0/10

[lost siren]

I can fix her

[rugged spire]

Le birbd

[rugged spire]

Oh. That sucks, Hazmat and Chimera were what I was hoping for a lot.

[valid kraken]

??? It has Yoroi gloves what?

It has everything the original did + the S3/S4 content for MkVII and Yoroi

[valid kraken]

Give me 20 minutes, I'm dropping a proper fix a bit of this stuff

[valid kraken]

Dropping a fix adding it in a moment
