Problem with Male Advanced Character Kit - Character Model is Transparent

by Squall · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/01/2009 (1:07 am) · 4 replies

Hi everyone,
I've just bought the Art Pack : Male Advanced Character Kit and then downloaded the TGEA version of it, but I got a problem when I tried to add the character model into my mission, it did not appear correctly

As you can see in the picture, the character is almost transparent ... may I ask anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you very much.

May I ask: how did you implement the DTS shape in the image? DragNDrop? Do you have any Source changes to your Project or is this image from a stock TGEA Demo? How is the Material for the Shader setup??

Try locating the 'male_materials.cs' and renaming it to 'material.cs'.

By any chance; are you using TGEA 1.8x?? The stock MACK setup works in TGEA 1.71...

Hi Rex, thank you for your replies,
This is not an image from TGEA demo, it's my own mission, I just copy the DTS file of the MACK and some related cs files and change the player.cs in the server/scripts folder

// Load dts shapes and merge animations
exec("~/data/shapes/player/casualmale.cs");

className = Armor;
   shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/player/male/casual.dts";
   cameraMaxDist = 3;
   computeCRC = true;

P.S: I renamed the male_materials.cs file to material.cs already but it's still the same thing ... and I'm using TGEA 1.8x

Hi, the problem was solved by rename the male_materials.cs file to material.cs and modify it (delete the parts (clothes, body, hair ..etc) which were not included in the desired DTS model)
