Changeing Textures on Models?

Is there a way to change the texture on a static model?
I want to put a c47 on my map, but I want it to have my clans insignia instead of the Allied insigias it has.
I made some trucks from brushes, but the plane isn't working out the way I'd like, so I figured this might be a better way, if it can be done.
Thanks for any help.

Yes you can. I did it with a flag & a calender.
First locate the model info( .lod, .skc & .skd files)
For the c47 they are here:
Pak0.pk3/models/vehicles/c47/c47.lod, c47.skd & c47.skc
Second locate the .tik file
For the c47 they are here:
Pak0.pk3/models/vehicles/c47.tik
Third find the shader.
For the c47 it is here:
Pak0.pk3/scripts/c47.shader
Fourth find the textures
For the c47 it is here:
Pak2.pk3/textures/models/vehicles/c47.tga, c47fly.tga & c47prop.tga
Now rename the .lod, .skd & .skc files to something like: yourclanc47.lod, yourclanc47.skd & yourclanc47.skc
Made a folder in your main folder like this:
models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47.lod, yourclanc47.skd & yourclanc47.skc
Now open the c47.tik in notepad & edit it like so then save it as yourclanc47.tik:
Code: Select all
TIKI
setup
{
scale 0.52 // Set default scale to 16/30.5 since world is in 16 units per foot and model is in cm's
path models/vehicles/yourclanc47 <---
skelmodel yourclanc47.skd <---
surface yourclanc473 shader yourclanc47 <---
surface yourclanc472 shader yourclanc47 <---
surface yourclanc471 shader yourclanc47 <---
}
init
{
server
{
classname drivablevehicle
setsize "-60 -40 0" "60 40 120"
seatoffset "-14 0 24"
gravity 1.0
vehiclespeed 800
}
}
animations
{
idle yourclanc47.skc <---
}
/*QUAKED vehicle_allied_airplane-c47 (0.0 0.0 0.0) (-696 -776 0) (344 776 272)
C47 Skytrain
*/
Place the yourclanc47.tik in the
main/models/vehicles folder
Then edit the c47.tga to you liking & rename to something like yourclanc47.tga
In your custom textures .pk3 add this folder setup inside your existing textures folder:
models/yourclanc47/yourclanc47.tga, yourclanc47fly.tga & yourclanc47prop.tga
Now copy & paste the c47.shader into your custom textures shader & change it like this:
Code: Select all
// your clan C47
yourclanc47
{
qer_editorimage textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47.tga
{
map textures/common/reflection1.tga
rgbGen lightingSpherical
tcgen environmentmodel
}
{
map textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47.tga
rgbGen lightingSpherical
blendfunc GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA GL_SRC_ALPHA
}
}
static_yourclanc47
{
qer_editorimage textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47.tga
{
map textures/common/reflection1.tga
rgbGen vertex
tcgen environmentmodel
}
{
map textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47.tga
rgbGen vertex
blendfunc GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA GL_SRC_ALPHA
}
}
yourclanc47prop
{
qer_editorimage textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47prop.tga
cull none
{
clampmap textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47prop.tga
tcmod rotate 5000
blendFunc blend
}
}
yourclanc47fly
{
qer_editorimage textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47fly.tga
{
map textures/models/vehicles/yourclanc47/yourclanc47fly.tga
rgbGen lightingSpherical
}
}
Now when your in Radient your custom C47 should be in the same section as the stock C47. Hope this helps

There is another way but not sure if it is any easier or not , Decals . If you edit the decals urc and the decals shader and add your logo you could probably run the map and the decals menu and add your logo where ever you want . Create the .dcl file and use that with the map . Should work I think .

Hmm I don't think you can really put decals on models nicely... works just on brushes and some of the time on patches/terrain.

I think one of the sub models uses decals for the logo on the front of the conning tower. It would have to be a static model thats for sure .

Thanks guys. That made my work real easy Sniper, didn't even have to search for the files.
I tried decals on some models before, they work on flat surfaces ok, but on curved surfaces they do not look good.

JV the problem seems to be better now. Must have been a server problem like you said.

If I make the files in my main, when I ship the map to other people they will have to have this file also yes?
When I ship the map to others, I would place all these files in the map pk3 like I would the texture files correct?
