How do I get the texture to work?

[isakk12 3]

I have exported the jpeg file to my mission folder and I have named it JAS1. The problem is when I click "Local exec"  nothing happens, the texture stays the same.

This is what is looks like from the Debug  console:

JAS1 setObjectTexture [01, "JAS1.jpeg"];

 

What is wrong?

Hello there isakk12 !

The extension should be .jpg , but you should prefer the .paa format , also check the resolutions of your image.

Thanks, for the info I will check it out! Btw my resolutions are about 100

Your texture resolutions should have dimensions that are to the power of 2 i.e. 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 etc.

Spoiler

Note: All input textures must have resolution 2^x / 2^y (e.g. 16 / 16, 32 / 32, 64 / 64, 256 /256). The largest texture size commonly supported by graphics cards and BI's game engines is 2048x2048, in future graphics textures 4096x4096 or even larger could be possible and it is already supported in TexView 2.

Check the name of the file and

add the extention in your code and don't leave spaces : 

( You should also post your working code , in order to find the error )

 

I_Plane_Fighter_04_F.jpg

You can use imgur to upload your image ,

and then right click to save the location of the picture .

( I don't know what it says exacly , because i'm using a greek language firefox )

There is no texture right (invisible)?

 

share the code that you are using and the name , the resolution and the format of the image , in order to find the problem.

Maybe because its on your desktop...

Unless you're packing the texture into the PBO along with your config.cpp or putting the texture within the mission folder itself, then of course the game can't find it...

You have to pack it into pbo form, and if u use a3 addonbuilder the image needs to be on p drive (if you alter spec or normal map names you must change file path in the specific rvmat)

which can then be used with the hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {}; config parameter

e.g.

		hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\SSQN_Equipment\Data\crye_vests_mcm_co.paa"}; // defines the texture path ("\pboname\subfolder\texture.paa")
		hiddenSelectionsMaterials[] = {"\SSQN_Equipment\Data\crye_vests.rvmat"}; // defines the material path ("\pboname\subfolder\material.rvmat")
