This adds some new JSON entries to custom levels so they can support
vanilla sky textures and the texture remapping tables, allowing for
proper textures on objects that use `generic`, like dark eco pools or
dying enemies.
The comments explain it in more detail, but the gist is:
For skies:
- `sky` needs to be a vanilla level that has sky textures.
- The alpha tpage (fourth entry in `tpages`) needs to be that vanilla
level's alpha tpage (if `tex_remap` is the same level as `sky`, this
will be handled automatically).
- The tpage needs to be added to the custom level `.gd` and to
`textures` in the JSON.
- In `level-info.gc`, `sky` needs to be `#t`, your level's mood needs to
call `update-mood-sky-texture` (the default mood, `update-mood-default`,
handles this as an example) and `sun-fade` needs to be nonzero for the
sun to show up.
For `generic` textures:
- `tex_remap` needs to be the name of a vanilla level.
- When using a vanilla level's remap table, you need to adhere to the
order of the files in that level's `.gd` in your own level.
- Code files are first.
- Then the tpages (in the order `tfrag`, `pris`, `shrub`, `alpha`,
`water`).
- Then the art groups.
- Lastly, the level file.
- The tpages need to be added to the `textures` in the JSON.
This adds support for replacing existing merc models in FR3 files with
custom GLB model files. The replacements go in
`custom_assets/<GAME>/merc_replacements`, similar to texture
replacements. When a `.glb` file with a file name that matches any model
present in an FR3 is detected (e.g. `eichar-lod0` for Jak), all merc
model data is replaced with the given model.
Additionally, models for custom actors can now also be added to vanilla
FR3s. The models for this go in
`custom_assets/<GAME>/models/<LEVEL_NAME>` (e.g.
`custom_assets/jak1/models/jungleb/test-actor-lod0.glb`) and will be
added to the FR3 that has a matching name (exception: to add things to
the common level file, the folder should be named `common` instead of
`GAME`).
For custom levels, these now go in
`custom_assets/<GAME>/models/custom_levels` (previously
`custom_assets/<GAME>/models`).
Another small change: When level ripping is enabled, the resulting model
files will now be stored in game name subfolders inside of `glb_out`.
This adds support for generating collide meshes when importing custom
models. A couple of things to keep in mind:
- A single `collide-mesh` may only have up to 255 vertices.
- When exporting a GLTF file in Blender, a `collide-mesh` will be
generated for every mesh object that has collision properties applied
(ideally, you would set all visual meshes to `ignore` and your collision
meshes to `invisible` in the OpenGOAL plugin's custom properties).
- Ensure that your actor using the model properly allocates enough
`collide-shape-prim-mesh`es for each `collide-mesh` ([example from the
original game that uses multiple
meshes](f6688659f2/goal_src/jak1/levels/finalboss/robotboss.gc (L2628-L2806))).
~One annoying problem that I haven't fully figured out yet (unrelated to
the actual functionality):
`collide-mesh`es are stored in art groups as an `(array collide-mesh)`
in the `art-joint-geo`'s `extra`, so I had to add a new `Res` type to
support this. The way that `array`s are stored in `res-lump`s is a bit
of a hack right now. The lump only stores a pointer to the array, so the
size of that is 4 bytes, but because we have to generate all the actual
array data too, the current `ResLump` code in C++ doesn't handle this
case well and would assert, so I decided to omit the asserts if an
`array` tag is present and "fake" the size so the object file is
generated more closely to how the game expects it until we figure out
something better.~
This was fixed by generating the array data beforehand and creating a
`ResRef` class that takes the pointer to the array data and adds it to
the lump.
This does a couple of things:
- The `custom_levels` folder was renamed to `custom_assets` and contains
`levels`, `models` and `texture_replacements` folders for Jak 1, 2 and 3
in order to keep everything regarding custom stuff in one place.
- With this, texture replacements now use separate folders for all games
- A build actor tool was added that generates art groups for custom
actors
- Custom levels can now specify what custom models from the `models`
folder they want to import, this will add them to the level's FR3.
- A `test-zone-obs.gc` file was added, containing a `test-actor` process
that uses a custom model as an example.
The build actor tool is still very WIP, the joints and the default
animation are hardcoded, but it allows for importing any GLB file as a
merc model.
