How to make a book into a note item? and another re texture grunt question.

[Sammi79]

For the book being a note. Open the book model of choice in the ModelEditor and go to "Settings > User Defined Variables" and change the Type to "Item" and the SubType to "Note". Save as a new entity with a different name.

As for the retexture. Have you renamed the textures? The .dae is the base model itself and follows the texture directory and you have only changed the .ent, which are basically variables applied to the model. open the .dae in Notepad or Notepad++ and hit "Ctrl+F" and search for the ORIGINAL name of the texture, in this case, it will be "servantgrunt_dds". You will see it like this:


<library_images>
<image id="servantgrunt_dds" name="servantgrunt_dds">
<init_from>file:///E:/Frictional_2/animations/mutant_Project/servant_grunt.bmp</init_from>
<extra>
<technique profile="MAYA">
<dgnode_type>kFile</dgnode_type>
<image_sequence>0</image_sequence>
</technique>
</extra>
</image>

Change the bolded part to YOUR directory, save as your "shadowgrunt.dae", and open in ModelViewer.

Also be sure to make the .mat follow the correct directories as well.

Wow, thank you, that was really quick. And your instructions are very concise, perfect for me, many respects. I shall try these in an hour or so after me dinner! yeah I missed the .mat and .dae files derrrp!

Kind regards, Sam.
