Object Materials turn up white

[Silvianna]

Every mesh i downloaded i could never get the material to show up. When i type in the material Exactly like it is typed, it says it cannot be found. Im pretty sure i put everything in the right place though. I put the png., jpg., and material. files in My_objects and The .object file in Object... Any help?

Is it possible there is a material code error? Can you post the material code here?

Be sure you are writting the material name and not the file name.
also if the mesh come with a .object file, you don't need to use object maker, go directly to map maker and you will find a new object group (same as the file name).

There isnt a material code error, im sure there isnt. Of all the people i downloaded from im sure ALL of them didnt have a material code error for their objects. Also, I know about using the group thing and the meshes will just pop up so i dont have to type in the mesh, But the material comes up Basewhite. Salmon for example i used salmonMat for the material, so i dont think anything is wrong with that. Since, this was the code

material salmonMat
{
   receive_shadows on
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture salmonTex.jpg
            tex_address_mode wrap
            filtering trilinear
         }
      }
   }
}


Now i have seen a couple of people with the same problem but no answers. Which is why i made my own post..

[Thierry]

sorry. Then this is out of my knowledge, never happened to me before.
because i don't have any idea if the problem is something related to FH or something related to the computer:
try with a new and clean FH installation
try with another computer

I didnt exactly "Solve" the problem but I started restarting FH each time I uploaded an object. I think its just because I always pull up the objects file to see what to type in and it makes it so that the material doesnt show up I guess. Its not really a convenient solution but it works. Just thought I'd post this in case someone else is having the same problem.
