Problems with missing texture on DTS

by Rob Parton · in Artist Corner · 07/08/2006 (4:58 pm) · 3 replies

I'm having a small problem, hopefully you guys can help me out. I'm not sure where it should go so I'll ask here, since it's...arty.

I'm using Maya 7 exporting a model. The export (for the most part) seems to work fine. I can drop it in the world editor and it shows up, however without the texture (just the default colours for lambert). In the console, it says it cannot find the texture required (both of them), even though the texture is right where it should be. Any ideas?

It's irritating since everything else I've done with it works fine (animations, etc), except it just cannot find the texture that is right there in the folder.

Any ideas?

Edit: For the record, this is what it's dropping at me in the console:

ResourceObject::construct: NULL resource create function for '0.tga'.
ResourceObject::construct: NULL resource create function for '0.tga'.
ResourceObject::construct: NULL resource create function for '0.tga'.
ResourceObject::construct: NULL resource create function for '0.tga'.
Could not locate texture: tutorial.base/data/shapes/rob/0.tga

(it does 4 of the first, then the missing texture notice for each texture on the model)

Hmmm is TGA a supported file format for images?
As i'm unsure, i'd try using a JPG or something else.

TGA is not support in Torue Engine, they must be jpg or png and must be power of 2.

Excellent. I have no idea what I was smoking. For some reason I was thinking TGA worked fine. Doh.

Works now, thanks a lot guys! I figured it was something obvious.
