To start simply, we'll just change the texture of the floor, it will only be used in this room...

For make this easier for the beginner,we get use the great PVC Floor from GAP : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=198715

After download/unzip the files,we'll copy / paste the textures in our folder we created previously, and rename them...



After ,the best is to enable the mod with JSGME to have the new textures in the SH5 folder ...



Next step : add the textures links to the .GR2 editor ...



Rest,to change the materials...For that,we go rename them...







Ingame...









The next lesson : Create a new Material "Menu" ...

But before we will: create a Bump texture and convert the textures in .DDS (including one with an Alpha channel ...)

The textures to download : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/99234496/CapBed.zip
Note: unzip and copy/paste the textures in your mod folder with the other (with the Floor_PVC...)

You need : xNormal and DxtBmp ... the links are in this Post

1 - create a Bump texture with xNormal ...



Note: I have use a "Smooth" value: 5.0000 for do you good see the relief ...

2 - Convert the .Bmp to .DDS with DxtBmp ...



After ,you can delete the two .Bmp textures and enable the mod ... (If the mod is enable: disable and enable it to transfer the new textures in the SH5 folder...)

3 - Open the 1.1.265.1 GR2 Editor...
