If you aren't capable of doing it yourself, you should pass the addon on to someone who can sleep.gif

Besides that obvious mentality error, this is no place for requests. The problem is not that the person placing the request is having problems with making, editing or finishing the addon, the problem is that he doesn't want to invest time to learn skills, but does want to make addons, and ultimately a mod, and needs others to do pretty much everything for him.

999 out of 1000 requests never get made, simply because the person requesting it shows no innitiative what so ever himself besides begging others to make him stuff, and to whine when no one makes it for him, or in a time-frame that he thinks is appropriate.

Edit: Can we please have a dedicated request thread, so that I can ignore it? happy.gif

do you have an example?

hum!! i suppose that must be a special lod which with the specular and the normal map are directly used by the engine (i mean the lighting).

ask your question in the BIS forum, maybe someone will be able to help you.

sorry smile.gif

Shadow Volume is used to create the Shadow of the particular LOD. Pretty useful to define good shadows for the first LODS.
If you make a model, you'll use for example 5 LODS:

1.000
3.000
20.000
50.000
Now, you can add ShadowVolume to all these LODS adding values that you used to define the normal LODS.
So ShadowVolume1.000
ShadowVolume3.000
ShadowVolume20.000
ShadowVolume50.000

Now see this trick: if the first LOD (1.000) has less than 512 polys, it's not recommended that you add the ShadowVolume for it. It will automatically generated by the engine.

all the models you make in the ShadowVolume LOD must be very simple, and must not exeed the number of 512 polys. wink.gif

The BIS example models do not seem to have 'matching' ShadowVolume LODs for the equivalent Resolution LODs.

Seems a bit strange that in the BIS example models Shadow Volume 0.0 (10000) LOD seem to have more than 512 poly's.
  • The BIBMP2.p3d Shadow Volume 0.0 (10,000) has 1730 poly's & the Shadow Volume 10.0 (10010) has 668 poly's.
  • The BISoldier.p3d Shadow Volume 0.0 (10,000) has 2123 poly's.
  • The BIHummer.p3d Shadow Volume 0.0 (10,000) has 1138 poly's & the Shadow Volume 10.0 (10010) has 498 poly's (less than 512).
  • The BIA10.p3d Shadow Volume 0.0 (10,000) has 2346 poly's & the Shadow Volume 10.0 (10010) has 508 poly's (less than 512).
  • The BIM16.p3d Shadow Volume 0.0 (10,000) has 546 poly's & the Shadow Volume 10.0 (10010) has 54 poly's (less than 512).
  • The BIWatertower.p3d Shadow Volume 0.0 (10,000) has 1576 poly's & the Shadow Volume 10.0 (10010) has 140 poly's (less than 512).

And most Game content p3d's seem to have many more poly's than 512 in the Shadow LODs ...

yeah Bi models doesn't have a shadow LOD for every RES LOD... they simply use 2 shadow LODS for the whole model...
about the 512 polys... yeah you are right! boppin2.gif I'll study it!

actually, sometimes 1 Shadow LOD, 2 or 3 or 4... or None, but no more than 4.

Also, check this thread in BIS Forums (post from Armoured Sheep)...
