This Soviet Tech Center used in MO has the dot problem - dots on it are visible during the lighting storm or any other light change. Can anyone fix this?

Hey speeder and GM is it alright if i use that one as well im having that trouble with the tech center and i didnt have a clue what was causing it

Thanks GM.

which 1 is that?

anyway, the problem is caused by using colours 1-15 and 140-255 of the palette, these are "Uneffected by light" and should be used for lights and such.

Easy and quick way to fix any building with white dot/remap errors.

1. Convert the shp to .tga (XCC mixer can do that with ease, think it is the same with OS shp builder)

2. Drop the files in input dir of meselfs handy tool called Downsizer.

3. Drop the attached palette into Downsizer dir.

4. Set Downsize factor 1, select the palette and seperate shadows set to no.

5. Run Downsizer and in your output dir you have the fixed shps.

Nothing more to it.

hmm gamemates seems easier but whatever floats your boat

[BobingAbout]

i use XCC Mixer to convert to PNG (Requires the EXE from about 3 versions ago) or PCX, and run it through a PSP8 script (scripts mean you can do it automaticly, either with a loaded image, or a bunch of files somewhere.), basicly it applies a palette with these colours set to something like magenta, with nearest colour matching, then applies unittemp again with maintain indexies.

Woohoo, finally you can stop bringing up the fact I never fixed it every time were involved in a controversial discussion

[Speeder]

Everything's cool people, but I have noticed that the frames which were supposed to be shadows were extended with empty ones, while the old shadow frames became the ones which appear as a part of buildup. Anyoneeeeeeee?

That would be me not capable of following my own instructions

Attached fixed one

I couldn't help but notice that there were some yellow dots on the base, and some purple dots on the snow version:





I ran it through the SHP Builder and fixed up the all dots.

On a different note, BrianPrime/Legion/Prime is making remake of the Soviet Tech Center:



I think it looks nice!
