hi there,

what i did:
i made a simple cube, made a nice uv-map (in blender) and exported it as a .x-file. then i ran the entitymaker and put the model in a test game.
this went just fine.

until now i can only use the file, which is stored in the .x file itself



how can i use another texture for my model?
lets say the same model but with a green texture and another one with a red one?

is it even possible with blender?

best regards,
kutte128

sorry if the spelling isn't correct,

Oh, I thought the whole point of UV maps were that they became actual parts of the mesh itself, not something that could be exchanged at the drop of a bit of coding. Now I'm confused.

Obviously I've got a lot more studying to do in this area!

@Opus: what? a uv map is usually a texture map used so you can texture certain parts of an object according to its UV coordinates

You can use the same uvmap to create several texture maps. you can swap these out on a whim. Very basic concept..

Oh, weeeeel sometimes I'm a bit slow when it comes to learning basic concepts. To tell you the truth I'm a bit slow to learn intermediate and advanced concepts too!

As coincidence has it I am in fact starting a tutorial today for Blender that covers UV mapping and so I hope to be a tad bit less ignorant in that one area henceforth.

read through your .x file and remove the line pointing to the texture file. then you can apply the textures manually with code

the 3d moddaler has nothing to do with the number of textures. this would be handled completely by the game engine.

unless you mean multiple UV coordinates pur mesh. this is not supported by the x text file format or dbp

thnaks for the answers.

my problem was: i assigned the texture to the model and exported it afterwards. without that, it works great.
