Maya2dts material mapping issue

Hi there,

Using maya2dts to export models into TSE and having problems mapping custom materials to my models. If I look at the model with showTool Pro the material will be called myTexture.png

when I create my custom material it looks like the following:

new CustomMaterial(MyMaterial)
{
   shader = MyShader;
   version = 1.1;
   mapTo = myTexture;
};

I tried adding the .png to the end of the texture name in the mapTo line of the material, but that didn't seem to make a difference. As a test I openned up the dts file in a binary file editor and removed the .png from the material name and that solved the issue, but I'm looking for a proper solution. Is there way to get the maya exporter to not append the file extension on to the material name when it is exported?

cheers,
Grant

Try putting quotes around the texture name in the mapTo line. So it would look like:

mapTo = "myTexture.png";

That sorted it.

Thanks for the speedy response.
