Hi there, after months of playing around with Course Forge, I recently decided to explore the Library.  Unfortunately, I ran into an immediate snag.  After clicking the "Save As" button in the Library, and then naming and saving a new custom Library,  when I then Rebuild any new or existing Splines, the textures get stretched and/or darker.

Here are some basic shapes using the Default Library:

 

Here are the same shapes after saving the Library as "test1", then selecting the outer Rough spline and Rebuilding it:

 

Notice how the Rough texture is a little bit darker now, and the Bunker is really dark.

- Issue happens in all projects, old and new, including a new project with Course Forge as the only loaded Asset.

- Issue happens to meshes drawn before saving the Library, as well as to new meshes drawn after saving the Library.

- Issue happens to existing meshes types in the Library, as well as to "New" and "Cloned" meshes.

- Issue seems to always happen to the Bunker and Bunker Tan meshes,  but randomly to the other mesh types.

- Issue happens on two different computers, both running OS X 10.11.6.  One of the affected computers never had Unity or Course Forge on it before I started testing this issue.

- Luckily, I can reload the Default Library, then Rebuild any affected Splines, and they return to normal, so I don't lose any work.

Obviously lots of designers are using custom Libraries with no problems.  Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on with my systems?

Thank you!

David

Sorry I can't help you but I have been thru similar circumstances, What I have to do is to remember, every time I open the CF is to remember to open up the layers lib and change the bump slot to the one I wanted to use because mine changes to. Usually it's just not there but you have to check it every time, your going to do a recalculation or textures can even turn all white.  Sometimes best to use the stocks until your done, then work with changing textures.

 

I like to have my textures set at the beginning but I had to do my own work around.

It just shouldn't be so complicated. Hope you get it sorted. I hate the layers lib. I'm no damn computer scientist!!

Take heed though, I'm quite sure someone will be able to guide you. I hope. I had no luck.

For me, the only ones that stay saved are the stock ones. It can be quite frustrating.

 

Note: I really think that if you change any texture in any  slot, it should just stay changed. Simple

In fact it is so frustrating to me, that I don't think I will Ever figure it out like a lot of these guys have. To me, it takes the fun out of it. I don't mind working hard and learning but this beast has brunt me!

 

You should be able to say, change the rough.

1. change shader,texture and bumpmaps. Slot 1,2 and map 2

3. Hit Save As and be done. They should stay that way.

 

Unfortunately that's not even close to what happens.

Don't let me discourage you, I just needed to vent some. lol

Thanks J, You were a few mins ahead of me in getting some captures

and explaining the bug, Drats!, and great job.

[Justin9926]

No problem, and I'm usually slow

Thank you Thank you Thank you!  The Normal Maps were indeed set to "Texture", and once I changed them back to "Normal Map" the issue was resolved.  I really appreciate the help.  I've been banging my head against the wall over that one for a couple of days now LOL.
