I've been working with the lightmap tools for quite some time now, and have found an issue..

Everything was working fine once i got my altmat enabled meshes created.. but upon loading into a level and applying a "fog" affect and some vertex lighting for the level, I noticed that the model it self would not apply the "fog" over the "dead" alternate material.. i've provided some SS and files that I made for the structure..and the undesired effect... seems the ramps are fine... but not the main barracks structure! And the two files created for the altmat seem to have the correct settings but once merged into one w3d with alternate materials, it seems to bugger up..

Source files for debugging

Alternate materials and decals were always missing the appropriate engine calls to enable fog. It's been fixed as of April 4th.

Glad to here that Thumbs Up

Those destroyed structures really stand out, once destroyed and have fog enabled on the map.

Sorry to bump this... but can I also ask if the same fix also affects LOD hierarchy models... Currently the level/game lighting does not affect anything past the .00 model.. Huh

I don't know if you guys changed anything on the altmat but it no longer functiions properly, Old models that i was once capable of rendering alternate materials no longer work...

Ok so i used a previous altmat version and it does create my alternate material model just fine... so something must not be working properly in the newest TT tools that you guys did for 4.1 RC3

I can confirm that vertex lighting also doesn't apply to LOD models past .00 (at least shadows in 3.4.4).
