[18:55] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Okay so you want to know how to remove specular from a model?
[18:55] ~{PLA}~ Led: yes, if that is what makes the DT look like it has a light shined on it
[18:55] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Yup it is
[18:56] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Okay so open up the DT Msh in a hexeditor
[18:57] ~{PLA}~ Led: ok
[18:57] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Run a search for TGA
[18:57] ~{PLA}~ Led: ok

[18:58] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Now, go up to the end of the line above it
[18:58] {PLA}Sleepkiller: and you'll see AT

[18:58] {PLA}Sleepkiller: and then on the start of the next line you'll see RB

[18:58] ~{PLA}~ Led: ATRB

[18:58] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Yup
[18:58] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Now look in the HEX display

[18:59] {PLA}Sleepkiller: and straight after this you'll see a 04
[18:59] ~{PLA}~ Led: yes
[18:59] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Leave this one alone always
[18:59] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Go over four 00 and you'll see another 04
[18:59] {PLA}Sleepkiller: change this one to 00
[18:59] ~{PLA}~ Led: yes
[18:59] ~{PLA}~ Led: ok
[18:59] ~{PLA}~ Led: done
[19:00] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Then search for the tga again
[19:00] {PLA}Sleepkiller: repeat the process for this one

[19:01] {PLA}Sleepkiller: it's for the Jetpack

[19:01] ~{PLA}~ Led: ok done
[19:01] {PLA}Sleepkiller: THe lowrez one doesn't have any specular map so save and your done
[19:01] ~{PLA}~ Led: nice
[19:02] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Munge and look at it ingame


19:02] {PLA}Sleepkiller: If you want to keep the specular map, but don't want to have it looking over done
[19:03] {PLA}Sleepkiller: You need to add the Alpha Channel back into it




[19:05] {PLA}Sleepkiller: DarthD.U.C.K. wrote an excellent thing explaining special model parameters

[19:06] {PLA}Sleepkiller: Of course it's a but confusing on how to do it
[19:06] {PLA}Sleepkiller: So disabling it is easier
