Post Terrain Texture Help
I've ran into a little problem with terrain textures:
I'd set the texture path, but in game, it wouldn't show up.
It'd just display the material Colour.

I'm confused.

Heres the code:
Code:
AddMaterial = Material
   Index = 253
   PresetName = PMetal
   Bounce = 0.2
   Friction = 0.9
   StructuralIntegrity = 100
   DensityKGPerVolumeL = 8.5
   GibImpulseLimitPerVolumeL = 15
   GibWoundLimitPerVolumeL = 0.1
   Priority = 10
   SettleMaterial = 182
   Color = Color
      R = 37
      G = 43
      B = 50
   TextureFile = ContentFile
      Path = Scene Template.rte/Images/Metal.bmp

'UseOwnColor = 0' is worth a try.

Did not work.

Edit: does it have to be 128 X 128?

Edit2: nvm, i think that it's because the colours i sued aren't in the map palette.

Edit3: problem solved.

i don't know but, the colours i defined worked, but the textures wouldnt show up.

Finally, i changed the index # to the vanilla dirt, dense earth etc.
and changed the colours to define the material back to normal.

now the textures load, im not sure which of the above fixed it, though i suspect its the index #.

I suspect that the color you chose for you material is not in the material palette.
To work this out, you must first randomly select a color, paint your terrain, then take a screenshot, paste it into PS and use the color picker tool on your color, then open the color selector and check for actual RGB values, then you must enter these values in your material code.

back in my day I would get the material palette color for custom materials by making an object out of the material, dropping it on the ground (I used magazines so that it insta-settled) and then using the Ctrl + M material view

then just printscreen and copy out the color.

easy as pie.

Guess your try wasn't good enough. Repeat.
Grif's method is also a great way to do it.
