If you're getting "black parts", that doesn't sound like an issue with the default normals in the first place. Are you sure these faces are pointing outwards?
I confess I never tested the custom normal part after I made my changes to the plugin, so you could try using the original version of the plugin too in case I managed to break it.
I used yours on my grass, so I don't think you broke that. My branches are just planes and the texture is double sided. Same exact set up on my grass. I put a flat normal map on it to see if the original normal was causing the issue, also set the faces to smooth and flat, got the same results. So its kind of a head scratcher
I think I might try to double up the faces and see if that changes anything.

doubleSided materials are still only properly lit on the front side, the back side will be darker regardless of your normals - you can observe this in many of the models in the standard assets, such as the heather.
Again,
are you sure these faces are pointing the direction you want? Look at the model with Solid shading in Blender, maybe turn on normal display in the edit mode Transform menu if it helps you ('n' key to bring up the menu, the normal display options are in the "Mesh Display" tab). Look for faces that are pointing the wrong way like this:
Then use Mesh -> Faces -> Flip Normals on those faces.
You can also try to find such faces by using "Select Non Manifold" (ctrl+alt+shift+m by default) and selecting the "Non Contiguous" checkbox.

The trunk its self is perfect. I always make sure my faces are pointing the right direction. Its the branches (the cross pattern faces) that have the issue, sorry I should been more descriptive on that. here is a couple pictures.
I have 4 bright lights surrounding this tree, I have moved them in many different positions and have the same result.
This is the model in solid view.

It really looks like that branch is facing away from the camera to me. Does it look dark from the other side too? If so, I have no idea what's going on.

Wouldn't enabling Backface Culling in the viewport make this easier?

You know I never used that before
. That's easier to see if you were trying to find inverted faces

What can I change to make sure these flowers don't light up like christmas lights from a million miles away?
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "flower_1",
baseObject = "base_item",
tags = { "forge_herb" },
components = {
{
class = "Model",
model = "mod_assets/models/flowers/Bonny_Cl.fbx",
},
{
class = "Item",
uiName = "Bonny Flower",
gfxAtlas = "mod_assets/textures/flowers_1.tga",
gfxIndex = 0,
weight = 0.2,
stackable = true,
},
},
}
defineMaterial{
name = "Bonny_Pe",
diffuseMap = "mod_assets/models/flowers/Bonny_Pe.tga",
-- specularMap = "assets/textures/common/black.tga",
doubleSided = true,
lighting = false,
alphaTest = true,
blendMode = "Opaque",
textureAddressMode = "Wrap",
glossiness = 20,
depthBias = 0,
}

1) Can I activate a function X within a script with a simple console command ingame?
And does it activate the first function within that script so that I have to specify? For instance, I want to skip the first function with alcoveContains and get right to the "proper item placed on surface so do this and that" part.
2) Can I strip a surface from all its current contents before destroying the altar/alcove/misc?
3) How to move an item via script? Preferably in combination with 2) to empty an alcove and move the items to X,Y.
Thanks in advance
