new coreshades confusion help.

ok reset up max again. added multi/subobject and selected dx9 for shader, where are the maps shaders gone!!! all i get is default. how you put in maps ??


max version: 3dsmax2010

 

Same issue- I have reinstalled MAX 10 4 times already.. I see the same screen as you, Also are you getting random Errors after installing the The Batch file and Gmotor items..

( Class<gMotorMaterial> from <Material.dlt> Duplicate ID/ Due to Multiple paths... I have checked for all Material.dlt files and I only see the 6 that are in RF2 Mod Dev folder..

TS3 is Up!

 

Did you have the proper CoreShaders.mas into your ..\3ds Max 2010\hardwareshaders folder??

 

nope, i just can't see and shaders.

duplicate paths? have you checked files in 3dmax :[customize/plugins manager]. to see the paths of the files.are duplicated. sounds like yours is find more than one copy.

material
texture
converter files goto 3dmax2010/plugins folder


coreshaders.mas goes to the 3dmax2010/ hardwareshaders folder

yes tuttle, i copied coreshaders.mas from rf2/moddev/shared folder

 

All Files taken from the RF2 Mod Dev folder and the RF2 Tool folders.
Now As freew67 said to make a rFPlugin folder for the 3 files and the add the core into the hardware folder...But Im only using RF2 so I added All the files (4 of them) into 1 FILE..

I do not know this procedure...but if you use the standard way should be work...and as Banger said is pretty simple;

copy max 2010 rF2 plugins into C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\plugins
copy coreshaders.mas from the rF2 shared folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\hardwareshaders

This is the way I ever used and it works.

Of course you've to remove all your plugin duplicates...

@ Banger

Pretty weird issue...seems Max is not reading the Coreshaders...but usually it gets an error during the starting procedure.

Try a plugin check in Max to see if they're working properly...

 

oK - Think we may have found an issue- Everytime I Add the Coreshaders file to th3 3DSMAX H/w folder and then Open up the Batch program - confirm settings- And when I click to load RF2 it deletes the Coreshaders file from the Hardware folder....

 

Why make easy things complex?

I know Free67 is a great rF expert...so I'm sure his program works fine...but, believe me, if you copy those files by your hands you solve the issue in 60/90 seconds.

 

Oh I did I re-installed all Files as per the above threads or as Banger has installed them.. It just keeps deleting the coreshaders folder..

 

Do you want to use rFactor2 Max plugins? Because that is an rFactor1 Max plugin in your screenshot.

 

WoW Honored you came here Joe! Yes we are both working with RF2, Where is the RF2 Max Plugin at- if you can help out?

yes rf2 only plugin.

 

They're in your rFactor2\Support\Tools\Plugins directory. Pick the ones matching your 3ds max version, obviously.

 

OK I have reinstalled 3DSMAX 2010- I then went to the RF2 FOLDER and got the the files needed from the MAX 2010 folder- installed them into the 3DSMAX Plugins folder and the H/W folder- When I open up MAX im still getting the GMT Converter v.2.45c... if im not mistaken isnt v.2.45c the RF1 Plugins?

 

Doh!!!,ok got that working now!!!

now can't do the road textures. textures not assigned to object. yes i have done the multisub/object & gmats. won't exported gmt's

 

thanks joe, ok got that working now!!!

now can't do the road textures. textures not assigned to object. yes i have done the multisub/object & gmats. won't exported gmt's

 

I just Installed the MAX 2012 and Im still getting the same issues as Banger... Stock installation of the RF2/Core files.

 

Do you have a texture assigned to Stage 7 (6 within the nomenclature of the exporter?) of your road material? While it is going to the the reflection stage in the sim and does not display a texture, you will have to assign a dummy texture (pick any of your existing ones or create a 4x4px dds for it).

If this sort of thing happens the gmt exporter will usually tell you which material and which stages are missing something.

 

I only tested my plugin switcher up to Max 2010. No idea if 2011 or 2012 is any dif. My little prog doesnt come with any plugins either, you have to drop them in yourself since I have no idea what max your using. As Tuttle said, all else fails just drop them in by hand but make your you restart max for the changes to work.

 

yes i'm of the isi tutorial (part 5-texturing) and adding textures,sort of....,the multisub object is on, click the first material and changed the mterial type ,but can't find gmotor mat option



i try 2012 3dsmax, mitt wilson it will be alot hard m8, has they introduced the procedural texturing also
