please list clothing with inappropriate specularity in update 53

The Black Dress Shirt has a red tint.

Personally, I am ok with the shineness.

Yoshi Asiri Trench

Black Void Shades



Same problem as the Black dress shirts as the shine creates a purple/red look

Gotta be the lighting as I get it also on a straight shot from the side. You can also see it in the left lense in Solids pic which is a straight on shot.

Yeah, I have noticed the red tint on the Voids, when you move your camera around you can get rid of it, but it seems to be there more angles than not if know what I mean, that will have to be tweaked too but it seems it is the same problem as on the shirt.

Side note:  I like the Yoshi Asiri Trench & Yoshi Triga Trench new shiney-ness

EDIT: It seems to go pure black when you angle it to get a white shine on the lense, like my right lense or HTs left lense (the right lense doesn't look pure black if you look closely)  none of Gami's lenses have the light on it so the red/purple is seen better.

Actually, in regards to the slacks, quite a lot of trousers now have the shine, probably for belts. However, this is actually quite subtle and nice. I like it.

The shine on the Arasaki Leather Pants however looks a little much, it was always kind of a dull, or at least limitedly shiny, leather.

Also, the System Shades also have the discolouration problem. I was fighting some Agents earlier and they look more rose tinted than evil black now

Yoshi Triga Trench

That's not wrong, that's actually looking like the right shine for that item as you can see the shine is only on the leather parts of the Trench and not actually the cloth part of it.

Yeah, didnt Rare say they have like certain mapped textures to use for reflections? Looks like this ones just got a purple tinge to it is all.



Should be changed to black

-Black/Black Machello Jacket and Tie (All of the Machello Jacket and Tie shirts, actually.)
-Black Plain Slacks (Bit difficult to see... sorry. I think all of them are like this too, but it is not quite as obvious.)

A list of my clothes I feel are too shiny now:

First, the Cherry Cabbie Cap:

2. Greyish Milleri Fade Dress Combo- I don't mind the top half being a bit shiny, but the bottom is too plastic looking:

3. The Black Silver Croc Coat, Highcollar (i understand it's crocodile, so it has a bit of a shine, but I think this is too far, looking almost like oil):

4. The Black Milleri Dress:

5. the Lotus sleevless shirts in general (Purple picked as an example):

That's my too shiny list, but to change topic from unacceptable to annoying- the new 'specularity' has made the Brown Kell shiny jacket and pants match even less than they did before:

Is it too much to ask that the same fabric in the same colour be the same colour?

This is the only think I agree on there, all the rest look good with the shine, and the reason I think this needs tweaking is on the color.

The Lotus Sleeveless screen looks more highlighted than shiney, but if it is shiney mabey that could be removed as that has a very 'cottony' look to it.

 Sakura Ninja Boots!

I actually like that one. Much cooler with.



You know, it is a skinned leather trench, probably supposed to be shiny.

Whats with the grudge? And isn't opinion the entire point of a forum?

Plus 'same problem on x' certainly seems like reporting an item to me.

*sigh*

Alright, alright, i'll get some screenies in a bit.

Polystene Shirt (possible mistake) & Arasaki Leather Pants (tad too shiny imo but hey, this is no place for opinion)



Looks like the boots were a lighting thing since they're fine now, is there any special way the speculars handle the current tint of the lighting?

Female Beta Shades.

I take it the male is wearing male Beta Shades? if so then yeah the female shades are in a server issue

The Purple Misene Leather Trench Highcollar and the Purple Arisiki Leather Pants now have tons of specularity.  The coat looked like rough leather that didn't need to be shiny.  The pants are (in my opinion) too shiny but I'm not sure about that one.  It's just an opinion.  But, in comparison to that exact outfit, it used to match fairly well before, but now... 

Red Misene Panel Trench Highcollar.  Again, it looked like a darker leather that wasn't supposed to be shiny. 

I don't have a before and after picture for this one but I can explain as best I can.  Brown Jayne Half-Duster Highcollar and Sienna Arisiki Leather Pants.  The jacket and pants used to match a little better than this before, and the jacket was a type of jacket that didn't look like it needed a bright shine. 

All of the Leather Arisiki Pants were effected and I sort of don't like it but I do know that it's leather and probably would have that shine on them so I can't make a call on those.  Also, I love all of the effects on the glasses.  Even the glasses that had a horrible shine to them before, then got toned down to be darker, now have a reflection to them but it doesn't ruin them like the shine did before.  Good job with the glasses (except the miscolorations some of them have.)

Edit:  One of the things I just want to mention is that the coats that don't look right are the coats that looked like they were coarse leather before.  Now, with the shine added, the coat looks like a very smooth and very plasticy coat which is not what we wanted at the time of purchasing the coat. 

Also, I wish we could get the specularity of the Agent shades toned down slightly... The shine now is nice, but I think there's just a little
"too much" of it, and it's a bit distracting. o.O

I like the shine on the System Shades, but the shine itself when looking at the character head-on goes right through the bridge of the Shades and the inside of each side, at least it does on the female version (I don't think I'm explaining it properly) I would prefer it if the shine cut across diagonally down the outside of one of the lenses when head-on. If thats not possible then I'd go withs 0rexis about the toning down of the shine.

If neither than can we at least get rid of the shine from the frames ie. the bridge and the arms, keeping them a dark colour? I am sure their textures are different to the actual lenses....

For update 53, I repacked some of our specularity textures that had been broken since...probably forever. This restored shiny highlights to items that have always looked properly shiny in our model tools, but have had no highlights in the game itself, such as Agent glasses, and many types of leather clothing.

Scattered reports indicate that some items now have inappropriate specularity; for instance, some felt/cloth items that should have no shine are shiny, and some items are shiny with a color tint in the shine that changes the overall color of the item to the wrong hue.

Please list such items here, with:

a) The complete name of the item
b) A reasonably sized screenshot showing the problem

I don't have a picture, but it seems the Burning Eye Trench was also made shiny. I'll post the comparisons laster if I can find a good shot of the old look.
