Issue when no meshes or exludemeshes are set #13

Closed Electrocutor closed 7 years ago

Electrocutor commented 7 years ago

When neither a mesh nor exclude mesh are set, it will attempt to replace all visible meshrender material shaders with the one specified.

There needs to be a check against transparency though. The materials that were previously using a transparency-enabled shader (such as flag meshes) need to either have their own version of a PBR shader that supports transparency on the diffuse alpha or to just be skipped. I would recommend skipping as there are 3 transparency types and you probably don't want to have deal with all those variations.

If you want to skip a mesh, use the exclude mesh feature. That is precisely what it is for.

Yes, a shader that supports transparency needs to be added (or transparency support added to the existing ones). But I'm not going to change the mesh/exclude mesh setup, as it works perfectly at the moment.

For the moment, you can still use the legacy stock transparent shaders on the parts. You can even specify them in the configs for the texture replacements, as well as adjust their properties/etc.

If you would like assistance in figuring out the config setup for something like that, please let me know; it is certainly possible to assign multiple different materials using the same patch/ KSP_MODEL_SHADER block.
