There is something wrong with your Room_CT.sim file. After I removed it and edited your GR2 file to point to \data\Textures\TNormal\tex for the texture:

Everything works

There's your new texture being rendered in game!

BIGREG · 03-09-12, 06:40 PM

can you send me ,your CT room. gr2 ?

edit : you say it is the .sim ! and not the .gr2 ?

Yes, problem is in .sim file. I'm looking at it currently to try and figure out what's wrong.

Here you go (GR2): http://www.mediafire.com/?1fqphw143r6gv1y

I think your problem is in the KSwitch and KWheel controllers you added to some of the items. I don't think they are configured correctly and/or you cannot use those controllers on those items

TheDarkWraith · 03-09-12, 06:58 PM

You now have me curious if we can define new texture folders or not. I'm going to try what you originally had for the texture folder and see if it works or not

ok, thanks. I know its the priority, but I figured I'd check in.

While doing the test I mentioned for BIGREG I found some errors in the current test version: if the texture cannot be found and you try to view it via the meshes treeview or materials treeview you will get an unhandled exception null reference error. I have fixed this and will be uploading a new test version here soon

I'm also going to make a change in the tooltips for the textures. I'm going to have it also show the FromFileName entry for the Textures as defined in the GR2 file. This will show the path to the texture as read from the GR2 file.

TheDarkWraith · 03-09-12, 08:30 PM

@BIGREG - test I mentioned failed. The paths to the textures I mentioned some posts above are the only places textures can be located. I think I see why you're getting that error with your .sim file:

The name property is blank for the InteractiveObject. There has to be a name there (but I'm certain it can't be just any name - that name has to be defined somewhere)

Texture path tooltips have been revised. The first entry 'Path: x' shows the path that the app found the texture at. The app first tries to find the texture in the units folder, if that fails then it checks \data\Textures\TNormal\tex, if that fails then it checks \data\Textures\TLowRes\tex, if that fails it sets the texture to not found (null). The second entry 'GR2 texture path: x' shows the path to the texture as read from the GR2 file:

Fixed null reference exception error posted earlier.

test version 1.1.94.0 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nyfz9b45v36ftp4

Now I work on giving you the ability to edit the material names

TheDarkWraith · 03-10-12, 02:08 AM

test version 1.1.95.0 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?eic0uyecbuxuo15

when making the AI sub crew mod I found that I had inhibited you from creating duplicate bones if they start with LNK@. This limitation has been removed and you can now create duplicate bones as long as they start with LNK@ (these are special entries to the game engine)

BIGREG · 03-10-12, 02:24 AM

Bonjour TDW

I get try the new version

TheDarkWraith · 03-10-12, 10:52 PM

Starting with v1.1.97.0 you can change bone and skeleton names:

Going to add ability to change model, mesh, and material names then a new test version will be released

TheDarkWraith · 03-10-12, 11:48 PM

Ability to change mesh names is now available:

That dialog box will appear anytime you change a mesh, bone, skeleton, model, or material name if the name change affects more than one object (the current object being edited plus another). This lets you see the impact of your name change.

Why does this happen you may ask? The Granny system HATES to duplicate things. Whenever the original exporter that made the file encountered a duplicate item it would just point the item to the existing item. That is why changing one name could impact many others.

TheDarkWraith · 03-11-12, 12:43 AM

You can now change the material names:

test version 1.1.98.0 available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?b5c1u0lqvf2cj4a

Added ability to change bone, skeleton, mesh, and material names

I'll work on the model and cloning of bones tomorrow
