[TEC] texturing a new 3d model

SwissSubCommander · 02-21-23, 04:41 PM

So

I opened the node in the editor and tried to add a texture id to the new conning tower. I clicked "add" and added the texture wich it gave me, wich happens to be the default conning skin, so thats handy

I did delete the line wich JapLance pointed out in the roster file since I only edited the first file.

But then!

The model is still black in game

Your texture node number has to be lower than the number of the item using it. Click the right arrow > to open your node 2 and 5 and take a screen shot of that, to let others see the construct versus the texture.

You mean like this?

Yes, that works. What you need to do though, is assign the texture in the 8 node's section. Remove the link in the 2 node. The texture numbering can stay where it is. That 2 node is basically just a "label", if you will. Someone else might spot something else later.
