'not found' textures

[Goldchocobo]

ok, I have been given some unskinned meshes by somes for a map I m trying to make, but when I try and skin them with textures other than rockMat1-6 it says "____not found!" I have typed in ___PNG ___.PNG ___JPEG ___.JPEG and ___Mat but nothing seems to work- I was wondering if anyone could help me.

You can't just put a texture image onto the mesh, you have to create a material file first.
When you tried to create a material for it and it didn't work, you either typed the mat name wrong, or there is an error in the material code.

I did see that. but when I tried to reate a material file- it didn't save as such. it was just a plain ol' word-pad... I can only edit material- not create...

Right click and drag a Material file to a different spot in that folder, then select copy here. Rename the file, then make your Mat code inside, erasing the others.

Sill won't work 

the mesh is called cg_armory.mesh

and here is the code I used to try and skin it:

Code: [Select]


material cg_armoury.mesh
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.6 0.318 0 1
cull_hardware none
cull_software none

texture_unit
{
texture cgau1.PNG
}
}

}

}

material cg_armoury.mesh
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.6 0.318 0 1
cull_hardware none
cull_software none

texture_unit
{
texture DarkWoodTex.JPEG
}
}

}

}
it has 2 textures- one for the walls and one for the roof.

Okay if that's the mesh name then that's the one you type in the first blank and load it.
"cg_armoury.mesh"

But before you do that, change your material file to have this code:

Code: [Select]

material CGMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
                        ambient 0.6 0.318 0 1
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture cgau1.png
}
}
}
}
material CGMat2
{
technique
{
pass
{
                        ambient 0.6 0.318 0 1
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture DarkWoodTex.jpg
}
}
}
}Then when you type in the material name in the second blank, you need to type either
CGMat
or
CGMat2
