Shaders

Post by Farming Girl »

Hi guys, i have created a new Mod, and it has come back to me again, each time i get it back they have issues with new things, my question is around shaders, they have advised me that i have used a custom shader however i have now, i have used the building shader, my question is do i need to use a shader, and if so which one should i use

this is my mod

It also has a sleep trigger and is for both pc and console

Thanks
Ann-Marie

you have to refer the shader in the base game. Don't include a shader file into your mod.

Mind to share their feedback and some more infos on your placeable?

So this is the report i got from Giants
- Please check the following shader fails for all i3ds:
Warning: Missing shader 3F309672.00002814-00000001.60000003 for Post Material Wood (0>1|0). Remove customShaderVariation
Warning: Missing shader 00000000.00002614-00000001.60000003 for Post Material Wood (0>1|0). Missing GlossMap
Warning: Missing shader 3F309672.00002814-00000001.60000003 for mailBox Material Box_Diffuse (0>1|10). Remove customShaderVariation
Warning: Missing shader 00000000.00002614-00000001.60000003 for mailBox Material Box_Diffuse (0>1|10). Missing GlossMap

- Please provide Icon.dds in 256x256 pixels

Last chance to fix issues!
So i had neglected to put gloss-maps in the id3, which i have done now, the shader i used was the building shader for a set of postbox's with and without sleep triggers, now it was suggested to take the shaders out completely, but i am now thinking that it was failing because i neglected the gloss-maps.. as i have used the building shader before without any issues... as you can see they say this is my last chance... but as i cant see their error in game, i am on the back foot to whether i have fixed it or not..

The mod is here

Caution. They're talking about the customShaderVariation, not the shader itself. Check which variation is used and fix it...

You're right that some shaders fail without a gloss and/or normal map. You can always use the default ones that ship with the game (for vehicles at least - never created a building myself).

I'd advise to carefully check your mod against the guidelines to make sure it doesn't get rejected again.

Yes i used the vehicle shader for my silos and had to change to building, but im almost sure it is because there was no gloss maps... thanks for the help anyway
