Texturing problem.

[ckolonko 0]

Hi,

Im currently using UV to texture and have been working my way through the modelling and texturing tutorial pdf that has been recommended on this forum.

So far I have not had any major problems apart from at step 8 in the manual. I have made my texture and when I apply and preview in Bulldozer it comes up with a message saying that it cannot find the texture followed by the file name etc.

Any help?

Can you exactly write down the error message? Especially the path it's mentoining.

Yeah course. It says "cannot load texture\users\ ****** (omitted)\documents\armawork\efptemplate.pac."

Thanks in advance.

the textures must be in the same pbo as the models (or in other pbo but they must be in an arma2 addons folder) so the path you are point will never get to arma :( unless you pbo the whole users folder and but on addons folder XD

So the texture needs to go where? Im a total noob to using Oxygen. I have the texture file in the location it is looking for according to the file path.

Seems to me your maping textures via your normal (C or D) drive reference.

All your projects should be in P drive, each project a folder in P drive, files (like textures) in that project folder.

All maping of textures in O2 should be via P drive.

The tools are designed for P drive

Cheers [APS]Gnat. I'll give feedback once I have tried this.

No still not working. I cant move the textures Ive made into the p drive.

Why not? Does the P: drive not exist?

When i go into 'my computer' there is a p: drive. When I go into there are all the files that are in the folder I use for O2. I even have my texture files in their. I have tried cutting and pasting my textures to the p drive to overwrite the files in the p drive. However, it comes up with a message try again etc.

I am also looking for models of weapons that can be opened in Oxygen such as ammo for the RPG, mortars, shells etc. Are there any available?

dont copy and paste the texutres the p drive is the armawork folder in the doucments

what you need to do is point to the textures in p drive instead of the \users\ ****** (omitted)\documents\armawork\efptemplate.pac

Ok I kind of understand what you mean. Instead of having O2 look in my folder in my documents I need to point it to the virtual P:drive. Ive checked in options and it is already reading from the p drive. My textures are currently in .tga, .pac and .png format too to make sure Im not using the wrong format.

Thanks in advance.
