Where is this mirror? I couldn't find it while cruising through the map in DR. |
 |
It's in the bathroom on the top floor of the bathhouse. There's only four rooms on that top level. Just look for the only part of the map that's elevated compared to the rest and then the bathroom up there. If you're still stuck I can fly there in DR and save it so you start there. |

I found it. |

@duzenko, Is this because of the work we did on the remote camera? The mirror uses textures/common/mirror and portal sky is used in the same room. |
 |
What puzzles me is we had sky and mirrors working in your test map. Could you attach that map here for reference please? |
|
|
Yes, sky + mirror works in my test map, but that map uses sky and mirror textures with unique 'map' names. Bathhouse is an existing mission using standard 2.05 textures. Map attached. Mirror is located at [-82 248 858]. |
|
|
Screenshot attached. This looks like a different problem than the ones we were solving in my camera test map. |
|
|
If this issue is only with my map I don't mind updating it for 2.06 with a different texture there. I was planning on doing a little update for it anyway to change the briefing video from roq to MP4. |
|
|
Is the attached map a copy of the map bundled with the FM? I mean the test map that you build for camera test, with cameras, mirrors, and small water pool. |
|
|
camera.pk4 attached. |
|
|
@Goldwell, can you maybe look at @grayman's map and figure out what makes it work in test map and not in yours. See the above assumption about "texture name". |
|
|
My map is using the texture "textures/common/mirror" whereas in the camera.pk4 that Grayman attached he is using "mirror1". In addition to that difference this map is using for the skybox "portal_sky2" whereas my map is using "textures/smf/portal_sky" I just did a test and if I change the bathroom mirror to the new one the problem is gone in 2.06. If it needs to be I can simply update the mission with that change when 2.06 rolls out |

See the attached screenshot: bh_2017-12-20_05.44.20.jpg Also I just noticed that now the water doesn't display correctly in the mirror whereas it did before. I believe that is just a sorting issue and could tweak with it. |
|
|
I want to understand what causes this bug. What did you change exactly in your test? Can you create a test map with two mirrors - one broken and one working? |
|
|
I need to check all existing maps for combinations like BH. Changing BH is fine, but we will have a problem if there are more maps suffering the same problem. The named texture solution might have to support existing maps somehow, since we strive not to break existing maps. |
|
|
@Duzenko I changed the mirror in the upstairs bathroom in BH from "textures/common/mirror" to "mirror1" (which is a new material inside the camera.mtr file inside camera.pk4 that is attached to OP). That's all I changed and it fixed the problem. I will create a test map or the broken one and the fixed one for you now and upload it. |
|
|
Ok I have added: bh_mirror_test.pk4 Inside that you will find just the player in the room with the two mirrors. On the right is the new "mirror1" and on the left is the original texture used in BH. |
|
|
@duzenko, Instead of having new materials using the 'map' keyword to uniquely identify different instances of the same material in a mission, is it possible to dynamically assign 'map' keywords to materials as they are used? Maybe something at map load that interrogates a requested reflective texture and assigns unique 'map' keywords to the texture's attributes so that when the renderer uses them later, they get picked up? This would solve the problem of supporting existing maps, methinks, and take the onus off of mappers to have to provide unique 'map' attributes for reflective textures in the same PVS. 'reflective' would mean mirrors, reflective water, and portal_sky. |
|
|
Maybe just skip sky in mirror altogether? Sky is quite expensive the way it is implemented in TDM, and it has to be re-drawn for every mirror currently. ... Disregard |
