vaporColorSurface (dont work) OXCE 7.0

[RSSwizard]

i dont want to upgrade because it might break my version of xpz (L9)
but the hypervelocity mod says its compatible with 6.8+...
yet after adding transparency LUTs and setting vapor colors they do not appear.

wat do?

if its very old mod it could be break by making LUT tables not shared by all mods (similar like other resources work).
Probably shifting indexes in items could fix it.

[RSSwizard]

shifting indexes? what does that mean?

I literally just used what is in the screenshot, didn't use nodes or anything like that, like literally its just the difference between (tftd) vaporColor and the surface version.

Could you post whole mod, not only partial screenshot of it? I can't check png file if its work as rules with game.

this is a code-inject mod which means the file is simply dropped in the piratez folder and added to the rest of the stack, nothing else in the mod deals with these aspects here though (file naming also means it is applied last)

Ok, and this is problem, `transparencyLUTs` can't work in files like this. It need be in special "resource" file that is one per whole mod.

actually scratch that...
I made this change and it still doesn't do it.

[Yankes]

What change and how exactly?

[RSSwizard]

1. added "resourceConfig: transparency.rul" to the mod's metadata.yml. It did not have one prior to this.

2. copypasted the transparencyLUTs into that new file, but nothing else, removed them from the file I posted here.

Didn't do anything else.

Could you post whole mod? as this should work.

[RSSwizard]

I know that's what im wondering. Its basically just xpiratez version L9 which hasn't had anything done to its core files, ive just added stuff like this. Is there something wrong with vaporColorSurface in OXCE 7.0?  Do ammo items need to have a vaporDensity as well or is the alpha value in the LUTs good enough?  I know the TFTD items have a vaporDensity but none of them in the hyper velocity master have a density value defined.

I can't answer this if you do not show whole mod, I will not guess if you do not mess up something.

An alternate approach might be to concoct a mode snippet that illustrates your problem.  A minimal sub-fragment may be much more amenable to being shared publically.
