Bumpmap problem!

[Gamemaker]

I don't know what to do... I have read all posts which are related with "bump" or "bumpmapping". I still can't get bumpmapping work. I'm using three textures: BM0_kik.bmp, BMB_kik.bmp and BMS_kik.bmp.

My d3d24.ini:

Code: Select all

[D3D24]
Bpp=16
ZBufferD=16
BBufferCount=1
CompressTextures=1
FSAntiAliasing=0
ExtraTextures=1
NoVsync=1
Async=1
DoNotWait=0

Everything seems just to be fine and I don't know what's wrong. BTW I used Texture Image Converter to make maps and I use BM0_kik.bmp on walls and I have all those three (specular, normal and base) textures in my txl file.

Note: I also added that zip file with all three textures of mine. I made them JPG to make filesize smaller

Thank you,

I haven't figured out how to use bumpmapping as well.
Although I do think that the "C8" gun for third person perspective has it. I think it only had either a "BMS_" or a "BMB_" as a prefix. I can't check at the moment, as I am on a public computer.

[Gamemaker]

If someone can see here actually a bumpmapping, he can call me whatever he wants.

[QuestOfDreams]

You are using the DirectX 6 driver. Only the DirectX 7 driver supports bumpmapping.
Also, bump mapping was broken in RF 0.76.0 but was fixed in the 0.76.1 update.

Thank you, QOD, I got this thing work now

[Gamemaker]

Question... Does the bumpmap have to be transparent?...
When I invert colors in BMB, then it's wholly transparent (Barely visible, like glass or something).

[QuestOfDreams]

It should, of course, not be transparent if there's no alpha channel in the texture. Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with the bumpmapping code, so it might take some time to figure out what's going wrong.

Thanks!
