Fixing Black on NPCs

**~~SGPK~~** · 02-25-2013, 02:40 AM

when you add new npcs, the black parts of npcs turn transparent

only server i've seen with this fixed is grinderscape when i was trying to fix this, after a bunch of messing around i made this and it worked (made this few months back)

just put this in entityDef with your custom npc loading

Code:

		if (entityDef.modifiedModelColors != null) {
			for (int i2 = 0; i2 < entityDef.modifiedModelColors.length; i2++) {
				if (entityDef.modifiedModelColors[i2] == 0) {
					entityDef.modifiedModelColors[i2] = 1;
				}
			}
		}

As far as I know, the reason this issue exists is because of the earlier models such
as godswords and torsos which rendered a black triangle for some reason.

(This can be found in the model class, method479)

Code:

for (int i2 = 0; i2 < numberOfTriangleFaces; i2++) {
       if (face_color != null && face_alpha != null) {//Triangle fix
           ///if (face_color[face] == 65535 
                 || face_color[face] == 16705 || face_color[face] == 0)
                 //face_alpha[face] = 255;
       }

                 //face_alpha[face] = 255;
       }

Thank you, that fixed it.

       }

This causes triangles on items like skillcapes though.

I kind of stated that already,

Solution: Use a later revision model, from what I believe it's because it's a 500- model?

I think <= 602 is fine with that, 633 + it screws up.
