Fix for Large Generic Windows being Black

Syke · Unread post Mon Feb 22, 2016 1:16 am

I was really upset at having spent 1.5 million on this house only for all the windows to be black. Looks awful.

So, I tried to fix it. All I did was look at one that DID work (medium generic), extract the .sht it referenced, and renamed it. (For reference, it's shader/inviscollide.sht as the working transparent shader, and shader/e_invisible_collidable.sht that is broken). I don't know if any other houses have the same problem, but it SHOULD work for them too. Any credit would probably go to Sytner for his amazing IFF tool that made this trivial to figure out.

I know it's probably not a super high priority, but as an RP'er I'd absolutely love it if this was fixed. Applying the fix on an individual client side basis is as simple as unzipping the shader folder into your SWG Awakening folder. A fix for everybody would require a patch through the launcher, obviously.

When i applied this to fix the windows in my Large Generic House style 2, it made the windows in my old generic house go black

. I have creatures in all my windows and now can't see them in the old house...... I know I can get another new windowed house, but I dont wanna move all my crap ! LOL

Is there a fix to be able to see all the windowed houses without black windows?

Client changes are strictly up to the users through the use of mods.
