JulianJ Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have come across another very strange thing while modding buildings - images are flipped horizontally so left becomes right etc. This means any writing is reversed, which is very peculiar. It happens on buildings and modded flavour objects as wel. First image - in foreground is a pub, all the writing is OK (even if you can't read the beer signs); in the bg I have created a women's fashion shop. It's flipped, and the writing is wrong - although I cannot read Ukrainian I know when it is up the creek, and people who can (including Russians) will be annoyed. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I don't want to put up a risible mod that will be laughed at. Any ideas what's going wrong? The second shot is the ground floor as it should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Maybe the easy solution is to place things in back to front and they will appear ok in the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulianJ Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Unfortunately that isn't it. I did exactly the same for the pub and the fashion boutique and only one of them came out funny. Also, (not shown) I made a kiosk kebab vendor out of the newspaper kiosk, and half the signs were reversed. It's very frustrating,and seems to make no sense to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domfluff Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Speculating, but I wonder if it depends: 1) Which side of the building it's on 2) Which orientation the building is in 3) What type of building the texture is on That seems like it would be fairly testable, and might be down to offset errors (flipping a bit somewhere, which might not even be noticable if the vanilla textures were symmetric) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have never seen this while modding facades. But it happens all the time with the gables: The game uses the same bmp for both gables of an independent building, so when applying murals to the gables one of them will always be flipped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi again I just dived in to some of my old building mods - and discovered that my memory had failed me: It seems that the facade in the BMP "building103-front-level-0" is in fact flipped - at least in CMBN. But that seems to be the only one I can find. Is this the name of the file in your game as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
