My skin not loading - Laxz98 - 06-26-2012

So basically I have made my own skin for the servant_grunt enemy in Photoshop CS5, saved it as a .tga, made it a .mat with the material editor and tried to put it onto the grunt in the model editor. Looked good, saved it and then tried putting it into my custom story in the level editor, it appeared to not have my texture on it. Huh So, I did another skin, this time of a painting, same result, looked fine in the model editor, didn't appear with my skin in the level editor or the model viewer.

I spent quite a lot of time on the skin, so it would be appreciated if someone helped out. Thanks.

You need to download Nvidias dds plugin and export your texture in the .dds format, targa will not load properly on models.

Custom story files are secondary. If you want the grunt to have new textures, you'll have to get the grunt DAE, modify it so it references the new texture, create an entity out of it, and make sure all the file names don't match the original files.

Thanks for your replies, I will try all this tonight. Smile

I'll have to use my desktop, i'm using a mac to do everything right now, it appears the nvidia .dds plugin is only available for PC.

Macs are bad, for everything. The end.
