Any painters out there the main textures have to be uncompressed so have the _nm suffix and a little specularity goes a long long way!!!!

Hi Dick, this one I completely overread when I first read this thread, could you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I fully understood it. Are you saying that uncompressed textures' specularity is treated very differently by the game engine to that of compressed textures?

Cheers,
Michael

I think that was two points in one sentence. I've not noticed any difference in compressed/uncompressed specularity.

I could be wrong, but I believe that Hack said (in a different thread) that the windows should be uncompressed.

I found that with compressed files, with the specularity high I got a spotty effect. And yes windows have the same problem. (Hack helped me out with that ages ago) So to get a bit of gloss I am rebuilding my models with non-compressed main textures. If they are to be compleatly matt there is no problem as far as I can see.

I am almost, almost there with the RS3s. Just a bit more editing of the psd file as I have included the PRR cab indicator with the bonus PRR RS3. It reads differently to the modern one so I am doing a crib sheet. I originally sorted it out for the GG1, so I know it works on at least the HCR and NWC.
(The GG1 is now in the pipeline. I have to do the E7 and HW coaches for that pack though)
