I don't know anything about Lineage I was just browsing google and saw this. Anyone play this game and seen this armor in action?

I'm curious as to why the specs are so weird. What are you takes on what's going on here?

I'm looking at the specs on the leggings and her right one is brighter than her left, you think that's because of the lighting, or maybe a spec map, or it could be the diffuse/color being overlayed with some weird cloud texture that and they just wanted that effect, or it was quick and dirty. maybe it's a scrolling cloud texture that's being masked out? I wish I could see the armor in game.

    i think it's a combination of specular, and environment/cube mapping.

    i used to play, it's a very pretty game.

    Looks like some sort of reflective cube mapping on a graphics card that cant quite handle it. The bottom of the lacy cloak is weird. It also looks like dusk lighting but a midday cube map texture. Apart from that it does look really nice modelling wise.

    Off topic: I won this game along with guild wars and LOTR:online in some competition and have been trying to sell it for half a year, even lowered the price to £3, no one is buying :(
    (guild wars and lotro sold within 2 weeks for £20)

    The character art does look pretty though, maybe I should install it just to look at the art.

    There are "free" Lineage II pub servers around, and a lot of them have forums with a dedicated player following (probably with pictures of their characters). The game uses a modified verison of the Unreal 2 engine (for zoning and allowing massive amounts of people to be in the same zone for Castle seiges and other similar stuff), and from my playing of it, it looks like they use spec maps, and sometimes cube reflection maps. They also painted in a lot of their spec, which is why it looks weird sometimes.

    I don't think you're going to get any buyers for L2, simply because people are either playing on the "free" pub servers, have already installed the game and are playing on NCsofts' servers...or realize that the NCsoft servers are heavily infested with gold farming, grinding, and leveling bots that NCsoft takes little to no action against...

    ...or because you can just download the client from NCSoft for free, what you pay for is month to month access to the servers...

    monthly fee is around £9/month, the boxed game itself comes with 1 month play time for £3 -.-

    It's not often that you stumble upon a thread that's less than 3 years old through a random google search but such is my fate tonight.
    Since this thread isn't too old and I'm in the process of modding Lineage2 textures right now (and having issues with it), I thought I would bump it for the sake of (maybe) answering your questions.
    Just as an apology/warning - I don't know anything about the tech side of 3D or video games. I go about modding with no more than the Socratic method : which in this case is pretty much "clicking everything until it stops crashing". So forgive me if I'm being either too obvious or too vague.

    All I have to offer is this screenshot of a texture in UnrealEd, hoping it helps.

    I'll probably have forgotten I ever visited this forum in half an hour so if you have any questions or whatnot send me a pm.
