another question... textures

Post by Mopar Madness »

i followed the wiki model and that didnt work, so i looked at a couple other maps and how they put on textures and still no luck, here's my coding:

Code: Select all

material
  name Castle_Texture
  addtexture http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6535/stonewalljl1.png
end

material
  name Castle_Top
  addtexture http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/213/62005616122937slateslabsc9.png
end

meshbox
  position -350 -250 12
  size 15 15 150
  rotation 0
  outside matref Castle_Texture
  top matref Castle_Top
end
there texture and add texture are on same line in coding for the Castle_Top texture.

Ok, again I know nothing here, but someone on IRC was having a similar issue last week. So this is like the blind leading the blind ;).They were told just to use 'texture' instead of 'addtexture'. The other thing that may be happening (and this I do know about), is that by default the bzflag client only allows textures from *.bzflag.bz and *.bzflag.org. This is easily changed by editing your DownloadAccess.txt file, there are instructions inside the file on how to do it.

Doesn't the DownloadAccess.txt only affect the client it belongs to? If this is the case, your joiners won't be able to get these textures unless they do the same. While I am not entirely sure how this works, I recommend you make sure it truly works for your joiners too.
