Setting Texture Filepath For DTS Files

by Scott Doerrfeld · in Artist Corner · 07/10/2007 (1:31 pm) · 4 replies

It seems if I have two DTS objects that share a common texture file, I shouldn't HAVE to put them all in the same directory with the texture, right? Is there any way to get a DTS object to look in a specific folder for its materials?

In TGEA you can put your textures wherever you want so long as you create a material definition. In TGE I believe that the textures for a .dts model must reside in the same directory as the dts file.

Place the shared texture one (1) folder above the assets.
