In Progress General Can't have 2 materials on a shield

[John_M]

I implemented a shield mesh with two materials, one with 1:1 UVs and the other with 1:2 UVs. It works fine in the editor and within the Custom Battle menu, it does not work in battle.

What seems to happen, when both materials are present on the mesh, the 1:2 UVs stops using its material and starts to use the material of the 1:1 UV, but only in battle.

Update:
The problem is specifically tied to shields. Only one material works on the shield, when there is 2, it defaults to both to 1 of them.

Forwarded to the QA team for further investigation. We will reach out again if we need more information. Thanks for reporting and sorry for any inconvenience!

I had this issue a while back. I can't remember what was actually said but I ended up having to make one texture out of the group.

Yeah, sadly there are situations where I'll need 2 materials on a shield if I dont want to make a bunch of redundant textures/materials.

I get that

The tableau system overrides the material. To disable that for a submesh, you can add the "dont_use_tableau" tag to the submeshes that will not use the tableau system. Note that, the LOD's that does not require tableau should also get assigned with that tag.
