Rvmat File Format
Rvmat files are the texture (material) files introduced with Armed Assault. Their syntax is similar to that of a config file.
Base Format
The minimum construct of an rvmat file is as below; however, it is recommended to use TexGen as described below to save on uvTransform declarations.
// rgba values being replaced by the value of your choice
ambient[] = { r, g, b, a };
diffuse[] = { r, g, b, a };
forcedDiffuse[] = { r, g, b, a };
emmisive[] = { r, g, b, a };
specular[] = { r, g, b, a };
specularPower = 64.0;
pixelShaderID = "Normal";
vertexShaderID = "BasicAlpha";
class Stage0
{
texture = "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(0,0,1,1,SMDI)";
// uvSource = "tex"; // default uvSource is "tex"
filter = "Point";
};
// ...
class StageLast
{
texture = "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(0,0,1,1,SMDI)";
filter = "Point";
};
Values
- ambient
- diffuse
- forcedDiffuse
- emmisive
- specular
- specularPower
- pixelShaderID
- vertexShaderID
Stage
- texture
- uvSource
- filter
TexGen Usage
TexGen usage prevents uvTransform to be redeclared in every stage.
ambient[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };
diffuse[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };
forcedDiffuse[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
emmisive[] = { 0, 0, 1, 10 };
specular[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };
specularPower = 100;
pixelShaderID = "SuperExt";
vertexShaderID = "Super";
class TexGen0
{
uvSource = "tex";
class uvTransform
{
aside[] = { 1, 0, 0 };
up[] = { 0, 1, 0 };
dir[] = { 0, 0, 1 };
pos[] = { 0, 0, 0 };
};
};
