It's the texture type for the wood parts.

the texture type cannot be modified in the .W3D viewer?....im pretty sure im going to have to retexture the whole model which the only prob i see is the gun.

After I retexture I'll post up the new model on mod.x

Ok, in the material editor thingy where you tell it what texture(s) to use, in the very first tab which you see when you open it there's a pull down box with the material type (tiberium, wood, etc), that's what I'm talking about. Can't change it in the W3D Viewer.

Leave it alone. It's supposed to be made of wood. It'll be stupid to turn a wooden Guard Tower into a metal\concrete Guard Tower because you don't like the emitter the repair gun creates when hitting the wood. Shoot the underside of it then FFS, there's no need to ruin the model.

Ack is right.

Or the simple solution is to turn down your detail settings

I never really liked that guard tower model, they could've at least used some better wood textures.

Umm if you habve ever noticed the FPS drop to about 1 if you are repairing them up close.

I just want to set the collision to default.

I didnt see any emmiter's in the W#D veiwer for the model.

I think it's set to a wood coillison that generates black smoke when hit with the repair gun

Why ruin the rest of the maps detail for a simple problem that can be fixed.

Can't you just change the material type, but keep the same texture?

yep

Problem is i'd have to retexture it all in ren-x and then export it....its no big deal,but im not sure if the gun is going to be hard to texture.

It's prob an easy .dds that is allready lined up like most of the vehilces.

I just wanted to know if there was a setting in commando or W3d to change the repair gun effect on wood.

I wouldn't mess with it. Did you ever notice the MobArt does the same thing, it did that as long as I can remember. You might just wind up making things a lot worse.

http://modx.the-pitts.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=232&highlight=Guard+Tower

Just put a model of a gun on it, you can use one of my gun models on ModX if you wish, or use one of the WW gun models.

Also you may edit this model if you wish
