Renaming the Terrains folder?

by Jay Barnson · in Torque Game Engine · 05/22/2005 (10:56 pm) · 4 replies

I was just wondering where the "terrains" folder is declared for the purpose of pulling up textures in the mission editor (painting terrain textures, etc). I had renamed my terrains directory, and found I couldn't navigate at all to this directory from the "Paint terrain textures" interface to bring up the textures until I changed the name back to "terrains".

No biggie - I just get a little bit weird when I'm creating a new project.

    Have you tried grepping the scripts for "terrains"?

    I did. Dunno if I set things up wrong, but going through the list I didn't see anything that appeared related. Perhaps I missed the common directory when I did that?

    Did you check the .gui files as well as the .cs? The editor is written entirely in script, so I would guess that somewhere in there it sets the path, if it's limited in that way...

    Ah, I didn't think the check the GUI files... nor the .h files, actually... just .cc and .cs files.

    Thanks! I'll take another peek tonight!
