[Halo 2]Injecting P8 bumpmaps

neodos · Post by **neodos** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:33 pm

I searched on the forums about custom bumpmaps, and i found the Tural's dds plugin.So i save the bitmap with alpha layer and RGB as a DDS palette ARGB (256 colors)
But when i inject i get this:

I have the same problem injecting with, entity,dothalo or Ch2r 0.9.3(old bitmap editor)

Use this tutorial on bump maps. It should fix your problem.

I do exactly the same thing, with the same bitmap, i have again this strange bitmap

I haven't seen anyone that is able to properly inject bump maps.

and why there is a tutorial?

The tutorial is wrong.

Ok

And how can i scale a texture and a bump for a model?

I think it is funny how you can say that. Picture property of iGeo.

BTW: My tutorial is NOT wrong. I dont know what you're doing, but it always works fine for me.

1) That is NOT bumpmap injection for the last time, it is either a plain black or plain white image. In fact, I gave him the plain black image in P8 format to inject.
2) You still have not shown proof you can do anything more than that.

That is what i was wondering about this warthog skin, i dont see bump o_0

Anyways how can i resize the texture and the bump for a model?
I mean, without extrating bitmaps, modifing the uv maps, the shaders? but with bump rezized too.

ps: XxD3ATHxX: if you tutorial works, could you inject a bumpmap of 512x512 and extract the tag with entity ?

Why do you need to resize a bump?

neodos · Post by **neodos** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 11:32 am

Because i took a machine, i changed the texture and the model is so big that my texture streched and bump too.
So i resized the texture but i cant resize the bump map

Resizing it isn't going to make it good, it's not going to increase quality...

i know, i resized to make a smaller texture, but when i say "resize" i am talking about the model, there are texte coords? something called uv mapping?
