When it`s not updated, you can show a single pic instead, isnt it? Thats what i understand from the above posting so far.
 
Hi Bernd,
i tested it in devmode,
yes it works in devmode, but i noticed a some hesitations, from time to time. But i think that might be ok.
(can someone. give me a hint, how to publish better pictures)
As you asked for a Screenshot, you can see it in a big flat screen TV at pitbuilding(top left).
Now i try, to create a TV gmt that fits in Joesville, so you also can check it out.
(But i have to manage to bring a file in a reply)

Thanks for your interest :)

Hi,
can you try this GMT as an new track object in Joesville . (link is now correct)
If it works, you should see a working big tv screen right unter the start finish flagholder official.
You can test it by copying textures gmt file to …\Assets\Maps in moddev Joesville.
> For now, i do not know how many material bitmaps are used
> and forgive the low resolution DDS textures for test

please give it a try
and thanks for feedback.

That sounds great.
You can also post here what you have done to get it working, to enlighten all of us. :)

EDIT
@Leonardo1962 I have tried your gmt, but still have the black screen.
That is strange, when it works for you, but not here.
I have installed a fresh devmode, so it should be completely default.
Do you have a special devmode? :D

Sorry i've put the wrong gmt in the Zip.
> Give it a second try with this GMT
(After repositioning 3DSimed reseted the shader to T1 again)
I've created a new GMT zip and with this new link it should work, even with the bad textures. (I've tested it)

The main thing i did, was change the shadername (in the GMT file) to L2TRACKSIDELIVETVMONITOR

Now its 100% transparent (or the normals are flipped?). :)
Do you maybe have a json file for the material?
I think 3dsimed will always corrupt it.

Really strange!
Now it's up to me, to figure out what might be different here.
Would you test a mesh from me (same mesh), that i export directly from 3dsmax, just to see if that works for you too?

BTW you can upload the screenshots directly here in the forum.
 
Ify want to give another try: You may try this GMT
Yes, please send me yor gmt ...
Great Idea, but could you give me a hint how to improve upload pictures.
 
May be this is the wrong thread, but how can i upload the screenshots directly here in the forum?:confused:
If you send me a gmt, i could test it. May be we get the TV screens running.

click on more options and then upload a file.

@Leonardo1962 I have uploaded the mesh directly exported from 3dsmax.
Here again i only see the black screen.
Would you please test it, if it works for you?
I have to leave the forum now, but will come back later.

For me Bernds version is black and yours (Leonardo) is transparency.
@Leonardo1962 : why do you add the framebuffer.tga?

Did you change anything? (It looks and works like my gmt).

I see, you have found the way to upload pictures here. :)

I have converted your mesh into rfactor 1 format, imported it into 3dsmax with the rfactor 1 gmt importer script, used your materials for the cover, applied the Track Side Live TV Monitor shader for the Videowall material, linked the framebuffer.tga texture, gave it a white emissive color and exported it.
Now, that it works for you, means that there must be another reason than the mesh itself, why it don't works here.
I will investigate tomorrow and report here.
THANK YOU for testing the mesh :)
 
here too, transparent & black.
these rare values appear in Jumboframe & Jumboscore. And also a point on Videowall channel 1 (not used)

Hi, thanks a lot for your interest,
I also noticed, that my vertices color for the screen do not differ very much.
Instead of black (0,0,0) i used (20,20,20) i think that is not important :)
I used framebuffer.tga, because i noticed a function behind that texture name in the past, but it isn't important any more
> "mat." does also work.
Next i compared the materials settings in detail: there are slightly differences, ideed f.e. a alpha value in material (i call it emmisive value) the cubeheaderflag had an Alphachannel, but i think, because both gmt are working similar, so that is also unrelevant.
Does one of the gmt's work with your setting?

@Corti you looking to the frame material. (Frame of the TV screen)
That is not responsible für the Jumbo screen video wall. You have to look for the material, i called "VIDEOWALL".
It has 1 texture (name is unimportant) and the shader (in gmt file) is found by "L2TRACKSIDELIVETVMONITOR" they have white vertices (may be alpha does matter sometimes)
