Help turn off 2X multiply

OK, I'm dead tired and I can't quite see through this code atm ... I'm trying to use Halo's lib which gives the GetTextureBlend() command. This is supposed to cycle through each entitiy and figure out if it has a 2X multiply texture on it or one of it's surfaces and then deactivate the TextureBlend() of 5 so that there is no 2X multiply.

Oh and by the way right now I'm checking GfxDriverCaps3D() = 110 so that I can see the 2X multiply being turned off on my machine which does support cube mapping of course.

If GfxDriverCaps3D() = 110
		For extModel.EXT_Entity = Each EXT_Entity
			If extModel\root	
				For i = 1 To CountChildren(extModel\root)
					If EntityClass$(GetChild(extModel\root,i)) = "Mesh"
						brush = GetEntityBrush(GetChild(extModel\root,i))
						If brush
							tex1 = GetBrushTexture(brush,0)
							tex2 = GetBrushTexture(brush,1)
							If tex1
								If GetTextureBlend(tex1) = 5
								
									TextureBlend(tex1, 0)
																
								EndIf
								EntityTexture(GetChild(extModel\root,i),tex1,0)
								FreeTexture(tex1)
							EndIf
							If tex2
								If GetTextureBlend(tex2) = 5
									
									TextureBlend(tex2, 0) 
																	
								EndIf
								EntityTexture(GetChild(extModel\root,i),tex2,1)
								FreeTexture(tex2)
							EndIf
							FreeBrush(brush)
						EndIf 
						For j = 1 To CountSurfaces(GetChild(extModel\root,i)) 
							surface = GetSurface(GetChild(extModel\root,i),j)
							If surface
								surfaceBrush = GetSurfaceBrush(surface)
								If surfaceBrush
									tex1 = GetBrushTexture(surfaceBrush,0)
									tex2 = GetBrushTexture(surfaceBrush,1)
									If tex1
										If GetTextureBlend(tex1) = 5
											
											TextureBlend(tex1, 0)
											
										EndIf
										EntityTexture(GetChild(extModel\root,i),tex1,0)
										FreeTexture(tex1)
									EndIf
									If tex2
										If GetTextureBlend(tex2) = 5
											
											TextureBlend(tex2, 0)
																						
										EndIf
										EntityTexture(GetChild(extModel\root,i),tex2,1)
										FreeTexture(tex2)
									EndIf
									FreeBrush(surfaceBrush)
								EndIf
							EndIf
						Next
					EndIf
				Next
			EndIf
		Next
	EndIf

Nifty.

Doesn't work yet though!

I see a few problems with that code.. it'll only check one layer of children which you can easily get around by using a couple of functions (See Code Below). Also, when you're checking the surfaces you're texturing the whole entity instead of just the surface you checked. You need to use BrushTexture( ) and PaintSurface( ).

If GfxDriverCaps3D() = 110
	For extModel.EXT_Entity = Each EXT_Entity
		If extModel\root
			Remove2xBlend extModel\root
		EndIf
	Next
EndIf
	
Function Remove2xBlend( iEntity )
	
	If EntityClass( iEntity ) = "Mesh"
		brush = GetEntityBrush(iEntity)
		If brush
			For k = 0 To 7
				iTex = GetBrushTexture( brush, k )
				If iTex
					If GetTextureBlend( iTex ) = 5
						TextureBlend( iTex, 0 )
					EndIf
					BrushTexture brush, iTex, 0, k
					PaintEntity iEntity, brush
					FreeTexture iTex
				EndIf
			Next
			FreeBrush brush
		EndIf 
		For j = 1 To CountSurfaces(iEntity) 
			surface = GetSurface(iEntity,j)
			If surface
				surfaceBrush = GetSurfaceBrush(surface)
				If surfaceBrush
					For k = 0 To 7
						iTex = GetBrushTexture( surfaceBrush, k )
						If iTex
							If GetTextureBlend( iTex ) = 5
								TextureBlend( iTex, 0 )
							EndIf
							BrushTexture surfaceBrush, iTex, 0, k
							PaintSurface surface, surfaceBrush
							FreeTexture iTex
						EndIf
					Next
					FreeBrush surfaceBrush
				EndIf
			EndIf
		Next
	EndIf
	
	;Parse Children
	Remove2xBlendFromChildren iEntity
	
End Function

Function Remove2xBlendFromChildren( iEntity )
	
	For i = 1 To CountChildren( iEntity )
		iChild = GetChild( iEntity, i )
		
		Remove2xBlend iChild
	Next
	
End Function

Oh, and I added a loop to check every texture layer.

Thanks for the effort Falcon! Definitely some good spots there. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work :(

The Blitz texture structure could have changed. The current working command is like this:

ProcedureDLL GetTextureBlend(texture)
texture=PeekL(texture)
ProcedureReturn PeekL(texture+24)
EndProcedure

Is that the PureBASIC code? Or is that what I should be calling in Blitz? Also, I'm assuming you've used it in Blitz 1.87?

Just did a test and it seems that I'm either missing another lib ... or GetTextureBlend() always returns 0 because it's just not working right. What else do I need beside the b3dlib?

Well, I have an algorithm to turn off blend modes at least by itentifying the texture name ... but I can't really tell if it's turning off 2X or what!

Ok, well problem is now that it can't identify the texture I want to turn off... These forums are just great for venting!

Well, I've got it but not by sorting through textures, instead I'm just turning all texture blend modes to the default. Works decent enough and should run on those cards that didn't like 2X multiply before. Of course now we'll have to test it.
