Multitexturing problems

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Multitexturing problems

Hi

For my new game it is necessary to use Multitexturing but I have encountered a problem when I use a colormap + mask + spheric reflection map. The point is that I cant get the light influencing the colormap...
I use this code which works fine but the effect is like EntityFX 1

multi01 = LoadTexture("models/ships/shared/env_map01.png",64)
multi02 = LoadTexture("models/ships/neu/mask.png")
multi03 = LoadTexture("models/ships/neu/color.png")

EntityTexture transporter,multi01,0,1
EntityTexture transporter,multi02,0,0
EntityTexture transporter,multi03,0,2

TextureBlend Multi01,3
TextureBlend Multi02,3
TextureBlend Multi03,2

I have tried various combinations but the best result I got was that the reflection map was applied to the whole model and the model's side not turned to the light was completly black...
P.S. If I dont use a spher.Map everything works fine!

Try another video card, the one you use might not be in the right mood.

I use a Radeon9700 and the newest Catalyst so this shouldn't be the problem...

As I said the problem is the sphericalreflectionmap. If I don't use the parameter 64 and slight other blendmodes/layers it works absolutly normal.

Did you try updating your video card's drivers? You can download the latest drivers from your card manufacturer's website, and sometimes this can fix a lot of mysterious problems.

As I said I use the newest driver(Catalyst 4.7) but the problem is still there... I also reupdatet it, without succes.

I think I will put an example online...

Finaly I got the file online...

As you (should) see, the colormap is not lighted out as it should and in this example even the spheric.map doesn't work correctly!

It should work if you use paste and copy...
