Title: How to use downloaded objects
Post by: Blue_Apples on October 10, 2013, 10:53:46 pm: I just downloaded a bunch of objects I want to use on one of my maps, just one problem. I don't know how to get them to show up in the objects box in map maker. Where do I put the downloaded objects? Please explain with detail because I'm incredibly stupid and will mess something up.

I think the original file was Windows Shell Commor (Common?) or something like that. I've looked and can't find a download that's correct. I also tried reinstalling FH but it didn't change anything back. Help?

I don't quite understand the problem here. Those two files shouldn't need to be opened in the first place since they're .fho, exported object files.

Post by: Ingredient on October 12, 2013, 01:14:21 am: Material names are also case sensitive. The material name is located inside the .material file, it's not actually the file name.

Right-click the .material file and go Open/Open With and find the program Notepad, or you can use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/). When you open it you will see something like this:

material rockMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         ambient 0.1 0.1 0.1
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture rockTex.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}

The part coloured is what you need to type into Object Maker

This is the image name. If the image is missing then the material can't be used.
