Props - Blank Texture In Unity.

[Beale]

Hello!

Since the switch to .DDS, the props in my Unity editor have been without a texture (but, they work fine in game).

Is there a fix for this?

Kind regards.

I believe this has to do with how the props are cached in the scene; they are stored as complete objects rather than references to the templates. As such, they do not get rebuilt on scene reload, but the saved data is just reloaded.

I have not tried it personally, but supposedly the 'fix' is to pull your IVA back into the scene using PartTools (e.g. Spawn your IVA using PartTools; I believe it should come with any props that you had saved into the internal config). Doing this causes the editor to rebuild/recompile the props, at which time it should re-link them to the proper textures.

(Could be a separate problem, but they seem closely related; at least as far as the texture loading stuff is concerned)

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately that hasn't worked

Actually, a lot of the stock IVA spawn with no textures also! Take as example Mk3 cockpit.

Yes this is due to DDS, part tools doesnt read them. If you have your props reference gamedata folder as a copy somewhere you can use the props from an older version where they were MBM so it'll show up in unity.

As I had suspected, many thanks for clearing up what is the problem
