Hi

ive been interested in round shells for the double barrel and im having trouble adding them in.


i think you need to add them to the weapon md5 instead of just adding a new sshell_bigger.lwo.


i tried adding a new skin for the current model but the skin needs to have the shells top part grey, to match the barrel
color...with the round part on the norm they almost look round.

when adding gold top shotgun shells...they stand out from the barrel color and look really pentagon shaped.

here is an image

maybe this is in a mod?

i could use help adding them in, i have several meshes i could use that are round.

Hi

ive decided to use my other alias seanstar, this might be easier for people to find me.

anyways ive found a way to make the shells look round and have gold tops, using an mtr shader like this.

models/weapons/shell1/sshell
{
noshadows
renderbump -size 256 256 -trace 0.1 -colorMap -aa 2 models/weapons/shell1/sshell_local.tga models/weapons/shell1/sshell_hi.lwo

diffusemap models/weapons/shell1/sshell.tga
bumpmap models/weapons/shell1/sshell_local.tga
specularmap models/weapons/shell1/sshell_s.tga


{
blend add
map models/weapons/shell1/sshell_add.tga
color 2, 2, 2, 2
}
}

the sshell_add.tga is texture with only the round top...like this.

not perfect but it will suffice for now...id like the have a v_weapon with round shells for sure though.
