New things for Modding

 

HOLO Textures

Holo textures are now again functional.

For transparent material you must set color to 1

 

<Color>

        <X>1</X>

        <Y>1</Y>

        <Z>1</Z>

        <W>1</W>

</Color>

 

For better view of your LCD set in TransparentMaterials.sbc this two rows on 0

 

<Reflectivity>0</Reflectivity>

<Fresnel>0</Fresnel>

This function in *.xml Is no longer supported - <Parameter Name="GlassSmooth">True</Parameter>

On model for better shape use only SMOTH function.
