Kkhohoho's Request Thread

[kkhohoho]

Hi there again. It's been a while, but I haven't had any problems finding more skins and meshes until now. I've been trying to find General Glory from JLI, (he's a Giffen JLI'er I forgot about 'til now,) but I can't seem to find him on any of the major sites. If anyone has him or knows where to find him, please let me know.

I swear that I've seen him before, but I don't know where.

I don't see him on my hard-drive, but I know that he's somewhere.

I think maybe Toxic J had skinned him before. He does look familiar.

Unko Man's section at Heroforce has one, I'd link but I'm on my phone sorry.

AH HA!! I knew he existed!

Thanks Raygun!

Well, I've got him, (thanks everyone, seriously,) but that was the good news. The bad news is that while he technically works and animates just fine, well, he's pink. Not completely pink mind you; just everything that wasn't already white. What this means is that you can at least make him out, and he'll probably still work just fine in-game, but instead of wearing the red, white and blue, (and gold,) he'll be wearing the white, pink and pink. If anyone can help me fix this, I'd be grateful, because I've no clue what to do about it. (Also, he's already been converted to 3R, in case anyone asks.)

[spydermann93]

Is he pink in-game or just in the Character Tool?

It might be because he's missing some skin files, or that his skin files just need to be converted to .dds format

The copy I have on my hard drive is missing a "glow" texture. You might drop a black-filled file in the folder.

What black-filled file and in what folder? Because, no offense, but I have no clue what you're talking about.

[daglob]

I have sets of glow, refl, lightmaps, and portraits for most of the "standard" generic meshes (male basic, female basic, male cape, Taskmaster, TV, DS, VX, etc.), all filled with black (although the portrait has a white question mark). If a character needs it, I can copy any missing textures into the folder so that it won't look pink in FFv3R or white/chromed in FF1. I've saved them in sub-folders in a folder I named zzzstandard_bits, which usually makes it drop to the bottom of the file list in the characters folder (where I put them so they will be handy). I started to do the same with .DDS, but got sidetracked a little. Need to get back to that...

If you want to PM me an e-mail address, I'll be glad to share.

That's a great tip DaGlob! I also keep a small 'empty' alpha file available, too. that way if there are any meshes that have parts to alpha out I can easily drop that file in there, and poof, they are invisible.

Not meaning to hijack, but that sounds like a good idea.
