They are my own models,a small box or larger level part.I still cant get the normal map to show,i no the normal maps work.if i use the normal map
as the main texture it shows up,also the model importer only shows one texture when importing the models.

Do set the entity shader to high? Otherwise it will not work... At least for myself
My dream is to develope games, which makes fun when I create it and fun when other people play it.

Game Guru uses x = right and y = down in the normal map. Set these options in your normal map program or model program and see if it helps.

Great I will get it mailed back to you with the textures and info on everything I did....
The pic above has had 2 light entities added for the effect and Light Mapped as there isn't really any sunlight indoors ....
But ..nice model ..you could make a decent looking level using that process ...What did you make it in ?

It has to be one uv map with .dds textures for normal maps to show up. Ive tried using multi textures and normals always come out all messed up. bumpy and stuff.

P.S ambient Occlussion as far as I know still isnt working and I wish they would bring it back. I would also love to see reflective mapping or at least cube mapping with bump and def. Specular mapping is ok, but its not the best for shiny surfaces like metal.
