Tilemap Based Texture fading

[ddmx]

maybe riding on the track effects the shadingx2 from start to finish. riding on the track lightens the shading x2, making it appear more hardpack.

Depends on the track. Some tracks get darker as its ridden on. That could be a tile based thing I think.

The problem though, is that the shadingx2 gets tied up with the decals, thats why it hasn't automatically updated when riding with erode, since decals were introduced.

It would be cool if we could use higher resolution shadingx2 maps.

yeah, higher resolution shadingx2 map would be awesomme
a question:
what bending mode does shading x2 takes into the track?
it looks like a multiply or a overlay, but im not sure.

[DJ99X]

shading used multiply, but shadingx2 uses overlay. I usually take a screenshot of the track without shading (from the editor view), then put my shadingx2 over it in PS so I can see what Im doing

I think overlay is a little different. IIRC, a white overlay is white no matter what it's over. The shadingx2 mode is src*dst*2, so full white would only double the source pixels.

In photoshop, hard light makes it white no matter what its over (sets <128 to multiply, >128 to screen). But overlay does the exact same as your shadingx2 blending
