Probably something to do with the TXMT... stay tuned... -------------------------------------- update: fakepeeps7 Can you please alter just the purple hat in your game, let me know if it looks fine for you? If so, I'll change the rest and reupload. Turns out I may have inadvertantly used the wrong specular settings. Try these, especially that 2nd one. They're in the TXMT, and you can just change the two TXMT for the kid (cf). stdMatSpecCoef 252,252,252 (or in the other tab, 0.99,0.99,0.99) stdMatSpecPower 2

(The settings you suggested were way too high. They were so shiny, they were blindingly white!)

You've set the specular color to nothing which is clever since it makes the shiny bits add nothing to the overall color. Seems spec power 2 is wrong, probably makes the shiny highlight so diffuse it's all over that hat. I should have just this this up in pixelhate's awesome TXMT reference. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Don't want shiny hats! I'll update all hats, accessory and BV jewelry, with the settings you gave. I'll post here when this is done...

Nothing clever about it. I just guessed.

spec power 2 is what I used. It was the spec coef number that I played around with the most. I don't really know what those numbers do... so stumbling across working settings was a bit of a fluke!

(I'm still confused as to why they showed up fine for you, and that you could take pictures of them without any shine...)

Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,481 Thanks: 63879 in 186 Posts View My Journal	My graphics settings or card is probably not doing specular highlights, so borked specular highlights just don't show up for me. I believe specular power controls how "sharp" or "concentrated" the specular highlight is. A high value makes the shiny part smaller, a low value makes it bigger. So power 2 and color 252,252,252 (white) would give a huge white highlight, like what you saw earlier. Writing a program that will modify all my recolors quickly so I don't spend hours doing it by hand. Should be all fixed later today, will let you know...

Sorry for the inconvenience! I cannot see the bad shine no matter what my graphics settings, so missed my bungle the first time around. Thank you fakepeeps7 for finding this issue.

marie2sims Lab Assistant Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 90	I keep seeing these berets on Fakepeeps7's wonderful creations. I've tried to be strong, and refrain from downloading, but I've just got to have these. They look so useful-- fashionable and pretty, and the Maxis hats are just awful. And there's enough variety, so that lots of sims in a neighborhood can wear these without it looking repetitive.

marie2sims Lab Assistant Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 90	I don't have BV, but because jewelry was enabled through Freetime, I assumed I'd be able to use the jewelry version. These don't show up in the misc. jewelry catalog, and I would prefer to have berets available as outerwear, not everyday. I'm really hoping these can work, instead of getting the accessory version. Otherwise, is there a way to make an accessory version that is only outerwear?

Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,481 Thanks: 63879 in 186 Posts View My Journal	marie2sims I have BV, and they show up for me, under Misc, with brow rings or nose rings, or some such. Let me try it with an AnyGame with Freetime and no BV and get back to you... If we can't get jewelry to work for you, you can recategorize the accessories with JFade's Wardrobe Wrangler.
