Hi everybody !

I've just buy the Steelport Gangs Pack DLC and I found a little bug on the Decker Specialist outfit. I think everyone has noticed.

I opened the folder "custmesh_-300041446f" and I noticed that the problem didn't come from the texture ...
I don't know if possible, but if anyone knows how to fix the problem, it would be nice to share it with everyone ^^.

(Sorry for my bad english)
 
The colorable areas also really need to be fixed. There are jagged outlines everywhere, most noticeable on the character's left shoulder. Kind of sad that Volition really just didn't give a fuck with this release. What a crap effort.

Also, I'll bet we could examine the texture for the npc and compare to see what went wrong with the fishnets.
 
Oops. Took a look and the pale fleshtone is a part of the graphic for the npc texture.

deckers_female_grace.str2_pc is the streaming file that contains the texture btw.
 
I noticed in game, when placed in bright light. The fishnet texture was slightly visible over the black. So my guess is, they simply didn't put an alpha channel on the texture which allowed the black background beneath the fishnet to become transparent. A simple mistake, but one that someone could've easily recognized and fixed in less than ten minutes over there. I swear, Volition has lost so much in terms of quality since SR2.
 
My guess it's either a missing or corrupt normal texture, or they have messed up the material properties for the tights. I'll have to buy the DLC and have a play around with the data.
 
You would actually already have that data to inspect since everyone gets all the same files regardless of what DLC they own. This is to keep everyone coop compatible so user A who owns DLC can still play with user B who does not. The files are most likely located in dlc3.vpp_pc. You just wouldn't be able to test it out if you did make any changes/fixes.
 
Thank for your replies guys.
So, I will quietly wait for the fix =D

Oh, and I'll try to edit the texture and try to correct the colorable areas. I'll post the texture in this topic if I can do something right ;)
 
Here the texture corrected with minor modifications and the alpha layer if the problem with the tights comes from there.
Free to use this texture for an eventual fix.

Off-topic : Does anyone could explain to me how do you update an ASM file (and especially for this case) ? I can do it for customize_player, but not for customize_item and dlc2_customize_item.

On a related note, I'm trying to make it so that the Decker soldier doesn't obscure gloves, does anyone know where the data file is that I can change that in?
