SetObjectTexture problems

[Lean Bear]

Yeah, it looks like this:

class CfgPatches
{
   class LNB_House
   {
      units[] = {"LNB_House"};
      weapons[] = {};
      
      requiredVersion = 1.91;
   };
};

So:

LNB_TagHouse is the name of your PBO file?

And LNB_TagHouse is the class name of the building in cfgVehicles?

If not you better make it so.

[Lean Bear]

oops :-X took it out of the wrong config ;D

(corrected now)

Yeah, I made everything have the name LNB_House. Variable name, class names, p3d names (you get the idea) - to keep it simple.

[Planck]

Did you try the cfgModels section I posted yet?


Planck

[Lean Bear]

Yeah, just finished testing.

I got the now usual texture-on-the-rear as well as the following hint:

scalar bool array string
0xff3ffffffcfffeff //loads of weird numbers etc.

[Planck]

The way I see this you have attached this action to the player......so:

Code: [Select]

_LNB_House = _this select 0

_LNB_House setObjectTexture [0,"\LNB_House\LNB_Paint1.paa"]

This would mean that _LNB_House would be the player.

Try naming the building......say.....fred

Then you could try:

fred setObjectTexture [0,"\LNB_House\LNB_Paint1.paa"]



Planck

[Lean Bear]

OK, I tried it out and it came up with the following error:

Code: [Select]

""fred [#]= _this select 0" Error: reserved variable in use//or something like that

[Planck]

Thats a new one, I've never heard of the reserved variable fred.

Don't use the ....fred = this select 0 line

Leave it out, just use:

fred setObjectTexture [0,"\LNB_House\LNB_Paint1.paa"]



Planck

[Lean Bear]

I think it meant that 0 is a reserved variable, not fred

[Lean Bear]

Leave it out, just use:

fred setObjectTexture [0,"\LNB_House\LNB_Paint1.paa"]

This time, nothing happens. at. all. :'(

[Planck]

Hahahahaha......ok

Try this:

fred == this select 0

fred setObjectTexture [0,"\LNB_House\LNB_Paint1.paa"]


No guarantees mind.  

Actually, I seem to recall that the texture file can only be a certain size, can't remember what though.

Isn't it 32x32?

[KTottE]

The texture can be any size you wish as long as it's in a power of two format.
That is, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and so on, and it doesn't have to be square, it can be rectangular.

[Lean Bear]

The one I'm using is 256^256 anyway, so that shouldn't make a difference then.

I've heard it comes out as 32^32 quality though. Is this tue?

edit

btw Does the texture I replace need to be the same size as the one I'm putting on?

Cause I think I textured it with a 512^512 transparent texture, but I want to add a 256^256, would that make any difference?

[Planck]

Isn't it 32x32?

Yes I think that is right LB, but, I have read somewhere else that the limit was 64 X 64.

It sort of limits setObjectTexture a little bit.
