Custom levels for Jak 2/3 now support envmapped TIE geometry. The TIE
extract was also changed to ignore materials that have the specular flag
set, but are missing a roughness texture.
Jak 2/3 now also support the `build-actor` tool.
The `build-custom-level` and `build-actor` macros now have a few new
options:
- Both now have a `force-run` option (`#f` by default) that, when set to
`#t`, will always run level/art group generation even if the output
files are up to date.
- `build-custom-level` has a `gen-fr3` option (`#t` by default) that,
when set to `#f`, will skip generating the FR3 file for the custom level
and only generate the GOAL level file to skip the potentially slow
process of finding and adding art groups and textures. Useful for when
you want to temporarily edit only the GOAL side of the level (such as
entity placement, etc.).
- `build-actor` has a `texture-bucket` option (default 0) which will
determine what DMA sink group the model will be placed in, which is
useful to determine the draw order of the model. Previously, this was
omitted, resulting in shadows not drawing over custom actors because the
actors were put in a bucket that is drawn after shadows (this behavior
can be restored with `:texture-bucket #f`).
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.
