Does any one know a way of finding the texture tile number of a specified grid square on a matrix???

For instance after using prepare matrix texture each section of the image that it cuts up is given a mumber, so if you cut up an image into 2x2 the tiles would be numbered 1-4. What i would like to know is, after texturing my matrix, can i find out which tile texture number is on each grid square???
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Yep, you have to store it yourself. Not exactly convenient, but not exactly hard.

hmmmm i thought i might have to do that, i'm assuming i could use a 3-dimensional array like
texture(x,y,tilenum)
right??

Only need a 2D one. TileTexture(x,z) = tilenum. So x,z is the tile position on the array, and the value stored is the tile number.

one more thing does anyone know how magic world blends 2 textures together to get a seamless transition between the two ie from grass to sand?

No idea. I get seemless textures by editting them in photopaint before I use them. You need a lot of textures to cover all possible angles of merging between titles, but it has to be done.

all possible angles... 360x360=129600 thats how many textures you'd need to cover just full angles. i'm not even going half angles. so i don't think its been done

for me it seems like MW is just oversampling the choosen one with the texture next to it and replace it with this new one.
