How do I retexture ceilings?

How do I retexture ceilings? Simple enough question~

[Ingredient]

In Map Maker in the World tab, where the Sky check box is (make sure it's unchecked), underneath is a box called Ceiling Material. Type in a material there and it will change the ceiling material, so for example I typed in crystalMat and the ceiling changed to the same material as the fluorite crystals.



Hope this helps

That helps, but how do I make it to be the same as the ground? Like, my ground is ice, but how do I make the ceiling have the same texture?

You'll have to make a new .material file for that image then.

Go to your Feralheart >> Media >> Objects folder and copy and paste a .material file from there into your maps' folder (or where ever you please).

Open it up with a program such as Notepad (right-click >> Open/Open With >> Notepad) and replace it with this:

Code: [Select]

material NAMEMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.1 0.1 0.1
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture ice.jpg
}
}
}
}

Where it says NAME just typed in whatever you want, for example I would type "icegroundMat". You shouldn't need to change the image name, it's using the ice image that you are using for your map.

Go File >> Save and you should be good to go :3

It kinda worked?

It makes the texture really dark, almost black

You could always make a really big cube and texture it with whatever. I just did that for someone and it worked out fine, they said.

Ah yes, well removing the sky will reduce the brightness of the terrain and ceiling. I edited the code and it's not dark any more, try using this:

Code: [Select]

material NAMEMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
emissive 1 1 1
texture_unit
{
texture ice.jpg
}
}
}
}
