addMaterialMapping

#1 Can you be more specific?

#2 Ok, I want to add different detail textures for different terrain textures.

addMaterialMapping("data/texture/grass", "detail: data/detail/grass", "color: 0.4 0.4 0.4 1.0 0.0", "sound: 0");

#3 Actually i think detail: works only on terrain textures!
The terrain in torque has 1 detail function attached to it.

#4 Maybe the problem is the detailtexture in the TerrainBlock.

new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
      detailTexture = "~/data/world/detail/detail01.png";
   };

When I remove the detailtexture, there is no detailtexture, although there are some assigned to the materials.

The "detail:" part seems to be broken or we do something wrong.

#5 oh, I didn't saw that "detailTexture =" thingy. Yeah maybe detail: is broken... who knows... maybe someone that did this should pick on this thread

#6 Looks like something got changed. The detail for addMaterialMapping is never referenced by the engine.

Trying to see if I can find where it is using the detail that is in the .mis file now.

EDIT:

Hmm.. I see the path the current detail texture takes to render. Just don't see how the MaterialMapping detail texture could be used to over-ride the default.

#7 Maybe it is the implementation of a "nice-to-have" feature which did not do it into the final game.
