TheSilentBoo Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hello everyone and thank you for having a look at the issue I'm having! I am trying(<-emphasis) to make a game that starts out on a spacecraft and then (via disaster and escape pod) crash lands on earth. At this point in time I am watching the tutorials and learning as I go on how to use the editor. This issue I'm having is with a material in the SciFi Interior Construction Kit, in particular 'windowb.mat'. When I am using the material as a window I cannot see far enough to see the engines of the spacecraft, and when I just delete the wall I can see them, below is what I am on about: WINDOW: NO WINDOW: I'm sorry that the images are so large! Anyway, I hope that you can see the issue that I am having and I hope that there is a solution! Please and thank you for all and any help that I receive PS: I mentioned the two lines of backstory as I will be posting here if I get stuck again...

TheSilentBoo Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bump, sorry but I haven't heard anything back yet :/ Thank you again if you can offer any solution! I was thinking about raising the windows of the spacecraft so the player can only see up and away from the ship to disguise the issue... Shame though.

xtom Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I had some problems with objects occluding behind glass windows but I got it working by changing some things on the glass material. See post below, might help. http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/10986-transparency-bug/#entry83315 1 Quote Check out my games: One More Day / Halloween Pumpkin Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilentBoo Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hey xtom! Thanks for the help, I can see through the window now However now the window frame is glowing... Any ideas? Cheers!

Einlander Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That fix is fine to get the window working, but if you have dark levels, its a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilentBoo Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah, it's unfortunate. The windows now work flawlessly but the window frames stand out... I'm having lighting issues in large rooms, anyone have cleaver lighting solutions? PS: Using Mod2X I keep the transparency and loose the glowing frame! In fact I loose the entire frame apart from the outline...

xtom Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Not sure else you can do. Would decreasing the thickness of the glass help with the glowing frame? I have my windows set to 8cm thick and it's not too noticeable but my level is in daylight, maybe this or 4cm would make it less obvious, not sure though. 1 Quote Check out my games: One More Day / Halloween Pumpkin Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilentBoo Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hey xtom, Sorry I took so long to reply, the idea works well for glass textures but unfortunately my texture has the window frame in with the window. I'll definitely be using this fix with glass but I'm still a little stuck for the texture I've been using. I going to work around this for now and then use your fix for the future Thanks again!
