IFL files and the skins/ folder

by Browser_ice · in Torque Game Engine · 11/13/2007 (12:52 am) · 4 replies

I have seen numerous texts talking about using IFL and they all say the same pasted text everytimes :

Note that the engine is currently set to prepend a "skins/" directory to ifl resource names (your programmer will need to change this or else you will need to work around this).


But it doesn't tell me where that skins/ folder is.

data/skins/...

or

data/shapes/skins/... & data/interiors/skins/...


All those links were old ones. Is this problem still going on about using a sking folder in TGE 1.5.* ?

I have never read anything about a skins folder, and yes, all you need to know is in that TDN article.. I wrote it =)

Thank you but I never understood how to set up animation names in 3dmax.

It says to select the Sequence dummy, set the keyframes for the start and end, create a name like "start:end" or something.

Its the last step I never found out where to create that name. Where and how do I create that name in 3d max ?

Check out the Advanced Materials for Max section on TDN. It references how to setup IFL's in Max.
