Tony Stark's Malibu Penthouse - Stage - Johnny's Mansion

Been a few weeks :) Hope everyone is doing well. I finally finished Tony's Mansion stage. This stage modification is over Johnnys Mansion. I tried to minimize the big items I swapped in due to the pre-set lighting that the game uses. This means that the lighting in the level is set to the existing items that are originally on the level. Removing an item, still has the shadows and lighting as if it was still there. It was annoying to have to work around but overall I am satisfied with where I am leaving it. I was under the impression that my better understanding of RMA textures would make this easier but surprisingly the static meshes severely discolored the textures and I was forced to do some work arounds to get them to show up even close to correctly. I also had to cancel out some Masking textures. There are a ton of easter eggs all over the stage. I hope you enjoy it!

There is one bug that I can't seem to track down. There is a ghostly red stack of flowers that is invisible around the middle of the screen that you can see sometimes. No idea where they came from and I am sorry about that! Anything else you see, lmk!

2 versions each of Ironman, Captain America and Thor are coming to accompany this in the next day or so. When I am not at work I will finish the last texture for that pack and upload it after some pictures.

P. S. There are 2 items making the size of this stage mod considerably huge. The Dum-e model on the balcony and Tony's infinity gauntlet that is on the shelf. Dum-e clocks in around 50mb and the gauntlet is 36mb. Removing those 2 would cut the size of this almost in half. I am considering an alternative glove for the gauntlet and possibly removing the Dum-e model from the balcony. Its not the textures either, I brought them down to 4096 but rather the high poly model itself.

Mods

Tony Stark's Mansion Stage

New Obstacles

- Improving RMA Textures

- Cancelling out Masking textures

- Overcoming static mesh darkness issues

Known Bugs

- There is a ghostly red stack of flowers that is nearly invisible around the middle of the screen that you can see sometimes.

- Improper shadows behind some items. For instance, one of the ironman helmets has a shadow of a bodybuilder award. This links back to the lighting being rendered ahead of time instead of with what is actually in the level. You see this with captain americas shield and a few other places too.

- Night Time - The outside deck table is missing as its used for the Dum E robot. The fire that is turned on is floating in the air.

- Halloween - Similar to above, the couldron that would be on the table is now floating and on fire.
