Trees in TSE?

by Andy Hodges · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 10/02/2006 (5:09 pm) · 6 replies

Has anyone been successful on adding trees to TSE? NO matter what I do, I can't get the tree to see the material. I have a materials.cs file and still, it won't work. I have a tree2.dts and a tree2.png and I can't get it to work.

Any help is appreciated.

Which trees are you using & how are you placing them in the world?

Make sure you have translucent = true;

I'm actually using the trees from TGE, and put them in TSE. But I keep getting that orange warning "NO MATERIALS". Created the materials.cs, but no go.

new Material(crazyawesomesupertree)
{ 
   baseTex[0] = "yourtreeimage";
   translucent = true;
};

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I did.

1.) "demo/data/terrains/trees/tree2.dts" and "demo/data/terrains/trees/tree2.png" both reside.

2.) In the world editor creator, I clicked on "tree2" and positioned a spot for the tree. The tree is orange with "NO MATERIALS" warning.

3.) I then created a "materials.cs" file in the "demo/data/terrains/trees" directory and added the following:

new Material(tree2) {
baseTex[0] = "data/terrains/trees/tree2.png";
translucent = true;
}

It still shows orange with the warnings. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Just a stab in the dark, but I don't think you need the full path for baseTex[0]. Your materials.cs is in the same folder so "tree2.png" should work.
