Forget all you have learned about changing materials. The material name isn't the file name.

open the .material script with notepad, or any other text editor.
in the .material script you will find something like this:


material yourmaterialname
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture yourimage.png
         }
      }
   }
}


at object maker, select your loaded mesh and type the material name remarked in red. uppercase/lowercase sensitive.

The same is true for .particle scripts, but the diference is the particle name is followed by the word particle_system[color], and they need to be loaded at Effect Maker -> particles, not at object maker.

ok i kinda understood but were do i find the material script

[Thierry]

when i'm talking about a material script file, i'm talking about all files with name ending in .material


That's a material script, open it with notepad and you will find the code i told you.

there is nothing marked in red though.....

zakari, i put it myself in red to be more clear where is the material name.
It doesn't mean you will find a red text.

Sorry for that facepaw, you was right.

ok i did what u said and i still got a fail.....

EDIT: i click the edit button and it says materialname.whaterever can not be found. i put the material in the right folder, in regualer objects AND in the materials folder...

[Thierry]

that seem to be a double problem, i will try right now with tunnel hammy meshes.
maybe you have reason (sorry)

[zakari101]

btw i think glave made the tunnels

[Thierry]

They are Hammy meshes
And BIG sorry, you are right, the texture material is missing!

but you can put this material instead:
rockMat
(is the defeult Fh rock material)
