I just realised that 0x00B2D882-0x00000000-0xCEB31003C33D903C seems to somehow be crucial for the survival of walls with a bump/spec

That is this image:





Compare and contrast:






The MATD for medium height has this reference, the short one does not. No other difference.


Just an observation .. I have no idea what the deeper meaning of this is

isnt this the cube map referred to in the talk of spec files .. when you create a wall with high spec , u will see a giant white square in the "reflection" that is this if im correct ....

What do you mean by "in the talk of spec files"? Do you have a link?

heres the link

simgurumeatball replied to my post about spec files on the forums and said this

"FYI - our spec maps are fairly complicated, a quick overview how its set up (for Characters) is as follows:

R = cube map blur control
G = cube map strength control
B = specular falloff
Alpha = specular strength "

so thats definatly the cube map , the spec file relates to how the cube map is utilized within the game ?

I guess it´s similar to that reflectionkitchenhighcontrast-envcube-thing in S2.
