How to fix missing textures?

by Flashfire071 · in Technical Issues · 08/04/2012 (8:31 am) · 3 replies

I recently bought the Tropical Rainforest content pack. The problem I'm encoutnering is that there are no textures when I place the objects contained in the pack into my level. I'm not sure if I've done something wrong but I installed it as per the instructions in the read me file, I'm very new to this program and am using the demo version. The error occurs both the Object and Forest editor. Here's a screen shot of the objects.

You'll need to open the Shape Editor (indicated by the sumbol of a box/cube) and then open the mesh the way you would in the level editor (where you are placing your trees from). As soon as you open most models inside the ConiferForestPack within the Shape Editor most of those textures will show up automatically.

The materials.cs file within the Trees directory has all the texture info in it. For some reason those files aren't compiled at runtime, and so this manual fix is needed. Be aware that a couple of textures are misnamed, so assigning their textures/materials will still require a manual reassignment. That's easy and should make sense when you have a peek. Hope that helps.
