HELP!! Object Making. The Materials won't work!!!
« on: June 14, 2012, 02:44:51 am »
Okay, so I got tons of animals and little critters for a warriors map im making (for a RP) and at first it wasn't working (I had the files in My Objects) then I moved the Mesh to the Meshes file, and the material to the Materials file. The mesh loaded, but the material didn't. It just automatically made it BaseWhite. I tried putting it in all kinds of different files, but non worked. What am I doing wrong?

if the material loads up as basewhite then it means you'll have to type in the material file name.

So if the material file name is named zebra

You'll need to rub out the name BaseWhite and place it with zebra.mat
if that doesnt work try writing zebraMat ect

This above is just an example. With the material name written in the game should know what to look for. The texture should pop up if you have wrote it in correctly. If you havent you'll get an error saying that it cant find that material file.

No, i know that. Thats what I was doing. mouse.material (just like the file said) ad writing it in the box. But it just automatically switched it to BaseWHite without even saying it couldn't find the file. I tried different names, different foloders, but it still wouldnt load! D:

make sure that the mesh,material and texture for the mouse is in the my_objects folder.
Thats where all mine go and they seem to load up just fine.
Your problem could be the material file itself. When the mesh loads in the material's name turns to base white. See if theres a arrow at the end of that material box. If so click it. It might load in the texture.
