Dts objects are black. tgea beta2
by Mike Rowley · in Torque Game Engine · 03/29/2008 (12:08 pm) · 4 replies
With the release of the new betas, I decided to port a (sorta) game from tge to tgea.
Currently, I have most everthing in and working. My only problem is that all my dts shapes are totally black. No light. I add a cottage light inside, it lights the terrain outside but no light inside. (the building is a dts object) how do I get my shapes to show properly? I've tried everything I can think of.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I relit. I'll try a material file and see if that helps.
Thanks. :-)
Edit: Making a material.cs file fixed it. Thanks Stephen.

Oops. I thought I had put this in the tgea forums. :blush:Yes, I relit. I'll try a material file and see if that helps.

Please do go ahead and post this as a beta 2 bug (look at the other posts for the title style, it's very useful!). TGEA 1.7 should be automatically creating a basic material for any object that doesn't have one based on the textures the dts references, so you shouldn't have run into this unless there is an unusual circumstance.

Ok, will do.

Off the top of my head, it sounds like a Materials issue, or your objects are not marked to receive light. You may want to look for differences in the mission files, and make a basic material for your objects to see if it helps.
Off hand question--did you re-light the mission, especially after adding a new light?
