Just copy all the files into your leadwerks directory (i use it in : Models\Entities\Decal)

edit the material file and have fun (should work with most of the mesh-shaders)

You have not attached the file, you need to manually click ATTACH FILE after selecting it and before clicking ADD SUBMISSION. I had the same problem in my first upload

[Gandi]

oh.. thanks should work now

[macklebee]

you need to add this to the beginning of your lua script:

require("Scripts/linkedlist")

otherwise you get an error because it doesn't recognize the function 'iterate'...

[macklebee]

other than playing with the mat file it works great! nice work Gandi!

 

[cocopino]

U da man Gandi!

 

I changed line 113 to

pos=Vec3(pos.x-offset.x,0.005,pos.z-offset.y)

 

to stop the textures from fighting with each other, apart from that, excellent! Thanks!

[dreamhead]

looks great man,but i always get a black Decals like in the foto,

this my mat file

 

texture0="abstract::deca_icon.dds"


shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular.frag"

zsort=1
depthmask=0
blend=alpha
specular=0.5
overlay=1
clamp0=1,1,
castshadows=0

[macklebee]

1) you are using bumpmap shader but do not have a bumpmap texture

2) try using the alphatest shader

 

this is my mat file:

texture0="abstract::happyface.dds"
shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_alphatest.frag"

zsort=1
depthmask=0
specular=0.5
overlay=1
clamp0=1,1
castshadows=0

 

and 3) it also helps to make sure you actually have a file called 'deca_icon.dds'... I can only assume you were trying to use the decaL_icon.dds file that came with the download...

Can it be modified so it can use a parallax shader?

Would look awsome to have this kind of detail in specific areas.

Is there a way to use something like 512x1024px? Seems to stretch my texture. or is it bound to the terrain grid in some ways?

 

EDIT:

There is a bug somewhere.

Placed decal. All fine. Scaled decal because they are very huge by default.Still al fine. Closed and reopend editor. Now decal is pitch black and huge again.

Shouldn't be a problem with the parallax shader, just edit the material file?

The way its coded it is only possible to create a quadratic plane.. ans yes it is bound to the terrain grid.. just enable wireframe and you wont see any aditional wires..

 

Gonna take a look at at cause of the bug, never had this one before..

 

I changed line 113 to

 

pos=Vec3(pos.x-offset.x,0.005,pos.z-offset.y)

 

never had that problem with zsort=1

sure... add the parallax shader to the mat file

It works fine if your mat file is correct. If you open up the properties after the scaling, and click open the general tab and then click apply it will save the scale values into the sbx file. This will allow you to open the sbx later with the scaling correct. OR just scale the mesh by using the properties dialog in the first place... you have better control this way anyways.

[Michael Betke]

My mat is correct. Otherwise it would be black right from the beginning and not vanish after reloading the editor.

if you say so... hmmm strange it doesn't happen to me...

[TylerH]

Yay. I worked on a Lua draggable decal a while back, and had some minor success, but with a full solution like this, I am extremely grateful.

 

Wonderful work

[omid3098]

has someone else any bugs in 2.32r5?

more then a specific height (almost y>150), decales are not visible.

same settings and textures works fine in 2.31

terrain is 2048*2048 (checked into desert highway too)

also Dave has a decal_Mud model. but it don't have any problems.. (however I think he used first release of decales)

I'm really confused.

material is a simple difuse:

texture0="abstract::0d_decal_beachsand01.dds"
clamp0=1,1,0
blend=0
depthmask=1
depthtest=1
overlay=1
zsort=1
cullface=0
castshadows=0
shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse.frag"

 

PS. terrain altitude is 500. I think that is related is someway..

[omid3098]

anyone?

[DaveLee]

Hey omid3098, try this material code:

 

texture0="abstract::pavementdecal01.dds"

texture1="abstract::pavementdecal01_dot3.dds"

shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_terrainalign.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specularmap.frag"

zsort=1

depthmask=0

blend=alpha

overlay=1,10

castshadows=0

[omid3098]

Thank you Dave, but I think the problem is with Lua Code..

it generates mesh somewhere else:

 

 

did you used "Decals for Editor v 0.1"

[LEFans]

Can't download, who can provide this file? Thanks.

[Pixel Perfect]

So many good things have been lost on this site. I think I may have a copy of this though. I will have a look and post it if I do.

[Pixel Perfect]

I don't know if this was the final version but here it is anyhow:

 

Gandi\'s Decal.rar

Thank you very much. I download it.

[Benton]

This is looking good, great for placing a patch of leafs under trees etc.
