QUESTION CustomEmissive_Rect

[Ternal]

Hi guys, happy new year to everyone. Here i am once again with a question.

I want to update a track by adding lights to the ambulance on the track, i know how the Custom Emissive works but i have a problem.

I have the ambulance with a unique texture (for the red and blue lights and also for the whole vehicle), i know how to set the start in custom emissive rect but i cant make it work for both separate.

I mean, i saw some track that uses channels for the lights, how they works, if they?
Is possibile to select a texture part for channel 0 and another part for channel 1?

Here's how i write it, but it works only on one side of the lights

[CustomEmissive]

@ = CustomEmissive_Rect, Channel = 1, Start = "456.4, 45.3", Size = "51.1, 25.3"

Thanks in advance as always

KEY_... = ksEmissive
in first [MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...] as channel 0 is ksEmissive

 

[fughettaboutit]

oh one important part is also missing, the line
SHADER=ksPerPixelMultiMap_emissive
has no effect in [CustomEmissive] section, you must do that separately:

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
MATERIALS = MB_Sprinter_2014
SHADER = ksPerPixelMultiMap_emissive
FILL_MISSING_TEXTURES = 1

 

[fughettaboutit]

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]

@ = CustomEmissive_Rect, Channel = 1, Start = "456.4, 45.3", Size = "51.1, 25.3", CornerRadius=0.0
;;; CornerRadius=1.0 for a rounded shape

[fughettaboutit]

oh did not see it works on one side, so maybe that line
SHADER=ksPerPixelMultiMap_emissive
HAS an effect in [CustomEmissive] section ?

 

[Ternal]

In this way it works fine, i now have only to find the right balance of color in order to have the right result in game

Thanks for your help @fughettaboutit, much appreciated as always

 

[Ternal]

@fughettaboutit i still need your precious help if you have time. I need to fix a texture in a track. The texture is the one used for the lights, if i use the ksPerPixelMultiMap_emissive everything works fine at night, but during the day around the texture there's a black fill (the dds have the alpha channel made in photoshop but i don't remember how to hide the black part) :-/

Any tip? Thanks in advance as always
