SOLVED ksPerPixelMultiMap: I downloaded textures, but which one belongs where?

[Cheers]

Hello!

I've modeled a lot of things in Blender and played around with the nodes, but I'm not making any progress with AC and the "ksPerPixelMultiMap" shader.

There are plenty of websites with textures, and just as much junk to download. I've read 20 times that dds or png files should or must be used in ksEditor. And then you download ZIP after ZIP, and each time the files are jpg. They don't have the names I'd expect. The last ZIP, for example, contains:

• Asphalt_001_DISP.png
• Asphalt_001_COLOR.jpg
• Asphalt_001_NRM.jpg
• Asphalt_001_OCC.jpg
• Asphalt_001_SPEC.jpg

The shader is known to get:

1. txDiffuse
2. txNormal
3. txMaps and
4. txDetail

From the files above, I can definitely identify the txNormal file (Asphalt_001_NRM.jpg). But that's where it ends. After spending minutes swapping through the remaining textures, I finally noticed the issue with the file names/formats, so I converted everything to DDS "BC3 / DXT5" with GIMP and generated the MIP maps.

With the result back in ksEditor, I continued swapping, and it had an effect that wasn't there before: now everything looks mediocre.

Can someone please reliably tell me which file corresponds to which? Even better: your own/other sample files for the shader so I can see what it should look like? 1,001 Thanks!

1. = ?
2. = ?
3. = Normal
4. = ?
5. = ? - still jpg, its black so?

My nerves thank you!

Greetings, Cheers

Hello!

It's done, thx!

txDiffuse = Asphalt_001_COLOR
txNormal = Asphalt_001_NRM
txMaps = Asphalt_001_DISP
txDetail = Asphalt_001_OCC

The only problem is my bad english + "the shader needs txDiffuse... I got no xyz_Diffuse.dds; and now? I'll ask the people"

This problem has startet today 8:30 AM, now it's 10 PM. I searched the whole internet and didn't find anything that sounds like my problem.

I'll do a Tutorial for the German community on my YouTube Account and still whish you smooth days
