Assign an image / texture to an object?

Post by -Vector- »

Title says it all. I'm brand new to blender, and kinda new to BZF, but i've been reading up on both, and i got a bunch of cubes with png faces in blender, but when i export them with the BZW plugin, they are just blank cubes. I was looking in the output file, and noticed there is not mention of an image name/path in the bzw file at all.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction for resources on how to map images to objects for bzw format? Thanx.

Nevermind; got it. But i would still like to know how to get the necessary demensions for an image based on an object's size, so that they match up. Also, is there a way to change the sounds within the map file?

Thanx

I take it that you cannot build ramps that go up to a higher level? Evidently the engine regards all of their edges to be boxed/vertical.

Ha, that's interesting; i was just learning angular momentum from MIT's physics videos (not for games, but for actual physics).

There are ways using Physics to make a tank move up a ramp, but tanks NEVER tilt. They ride up on an edge and stay horizontal.
