Title: Retexturing items never worked.
Post by: Vwang on September 06, 2016, 02:35:06 am
I tried making textures for items But keeping the original to avoid losing files but everytime I wear it its just plain white.

You have to go into the material file and rename the texture there with the image name you're using.

Be sure you're renaming it correctly. Not an extra letter/number, misspelling, etc...

Could you send a screenshot of the material file for the item you're retexturing as well as a screenshot of the texture you're trying to use

Try not to rename the actual material name and instead just rename the .jpg like you have. So replace Inferno at the top with what it originally was.

What are you naming the .material file? If you're making a whole new .material file, then you have to make a change to your items.cfg file located in your main FH folder. Find the item you're trying to retexture and change the "material=materialhere" line to "material=Inferno" (or whatever the name of your .material file is) and save. If you're not doing that then that could explain why your retextures never work.

I'm not seeing any problems with the material code so that's the only other thing I can think of.

That probably is the reason but there's no way I could even retexture... Hold on... I think I wasn't supposed to put in the name of the picture... But the material? Nope its the same as the picture.

When saving a copy of the original texture files, ye got to rename the coding on the inside of the file.

Ex: "material/FluffyClouds
[
    [
        [
           Coding blah blah blah"


Change the name of FluffyClouds into something else and save it. Be sure to also rename the .cfg just to keep track of which one is which.
