does anybody know if it's possible to load a different texture for the flag/s?
we all know how to replace the std_ground texture and I am curious to find out, if it also works for flags?
I tried already:
Code: Select all
material
name flag
addtexture http://images.bzflag.org/path/to/a/texture.png
end
and like in std_ground, no matref added ... but it doesn't work!
did anybody of you guys try or know how to make this work?
THX!

I've heard something about this being possible with LUA in 3.0, but as far as I know it's not possible in 2.0.
You could still change the texture in your data folder ... but I guess that's not what you want.

If you want to change them for YOUR client, yes. Go to the BZFlag Data folder, and change the default flag texture. If you mean like std_ground, where you would do
Code: Select all
material
name GroundMaterial
texture..........
end
and change it server side, so everybody sees it, I am pretty sure this is a no.

Zaphod: No, it is not possible to do so in 2.0. The client loads the texture from the data path, end of story.
Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams of maybe a soccer flag?

indeed
orbit made a nice texture for the flag and I hoped we could share that with all BzMatchBall player's.
but well ... then I use it just locally .
if someone else wants to use it: the texture can be
downloaded here
(ups ... was wrong link and is fixed now)
and thanks to all for your inputs!

I would, but it affects the purple team flag on other servers too.
