Hi. I found a nice rock texture collor in a map. is it possible to use that for my map?
And if so, can you please tell me how to do it. Thank you.

You need only exchange the original rock textures with your favorite ones.
Example:
- original textures
<File fileId="1" filename="$data/maps/textures/terrain/cliffRock01_diffuse.png"/>
<File fileId="2" filename="$data/maps/textures/terrain/cliffRock01_normal.png"/>
- modified
<File fileId="1" filename="maps/textures/terrain/cliffRockNew_diffuse.png"/>
<File fileId="2" filename="maps/textures/terrain/cliffRockNew_normal.png"/>
- where you place the new textures in your map's folder 'maps/textures/terrain'.

Ok I`m a little confused now. The map I`m want to copy the textures from has a folder named map mapDE, inside that folder I found a nice texture that I want "mountainRock04_weight" There is also a folder named texture and terrain, inside that I found mountainRockSA04_diffuse.dds and mountainRockSA04_normal.dds, okay so far so good.

in the main game $data and so on, I found two folders, mapUS and mapDE. the mountainRock04_weight I found in mapDE and not in mapUS. in the terrain folder I found the mountainRock04_diffuse.dds and mountainRock04_diffuse.dds. OK

in the map I work on there is only 2 folders, mapUS and textures There is no terrain folder.


I have tried to put the mountainRock04_weight into the mapUS folder on the work map and copy the mountainRockSA04_normal.dds and mountainRockSA04_diffuse.dds over to the $data terrain folder but did not work, I also tried to copy over the mountainRock04_weight to the $data mapUS folder but did not work that ether.

I can`t figure out what I`m doing wrong.

The *weight files are used for map dependent ratio/distribution of a certain terrain. Don't copy into your map.

What you need are merely the texture files *diffuse.png and *normal.png, usually in .dds format instead .png - the engine accepts both, but preferable .dds for better performance.

If the files are not in the usual folders, place/copy them as you like and adapt the i3d file path accordingly.
However for compatibility you should use the recommanded folder maps/textures/terrain. This makes also changes in the i3d file paths easier.
