Retexturing things

[HakubiLee]

I've been in FeralHeart for two years making maps and I've finally decided to ask this question.

I've forgotten how to retexture things.

For example, I'm trying to add a texture to Glave's arena, but there's no material file or anything.

Could someone give me a quick answer as to how to add, say, a rock texture to it?

Thanks!

You retexture objects in the Object Maker>> Mesh in the Material box.

You can find out different material names by going to your Feralheart>> Media>> Objects folder and search through folders until you find the one you want.

To find out what the material name is you must open an object's .material file with Notepad. You can do this by right-clicking the .material file and choosing the option Open or Open With then just browse for the program Notepad.

When you open a material file the first line contains the name you would type exactly into the Material box in Object Maker.

If I wanted a rock texture I would go to the Rocks folder and open the rock.material file and I would 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 in red is what you would type into the Material box in Object Maker. It is case sensitive so any capital letters make sure you include them

I hope that answers your question
