Texturing Issues

[Parker]

I'm trying to make my own parts but they seem to be missing their textures, how do I link the file listed in the config (texture = texturemap.png) to the right object because even when I do that, the textures don't link.

Thanks for the help

You should only have one texture for all objects. Unless you use different kind of shaders.

A normal part, like a fueltank or ASAS, consists of one visible object and the node_collider object, which isn't visible ingame and thus doesn't need a texture.

I UV Mapped the visible object to have a texture, and the node_collider not to have one, still says:

ERROR: Collider node found, but no mesh in it

is the node_collider spelled right (lowercase AFAIK)?

Did you UV-map the collider too? (just unwrap somehow, is not seen in the game anyway).

[Parker]

I triple checked the node_collider just in case, and it is spelled correctly, and I UV mapped it just in case, still same error

[Parker]

If it helps here is the part that I'm having trouble with.

I've not downloaded the file but in Wings3d (my modeller of choice) if you set the visibility of the node_collider to false while editing, when you export to either .obj or .dae it creates an entry for the node_collider but doesn't put the geometry in it hence the no mesh error. Just an fyi, mesh is the actual geometry not a texture issue. Took me ages to work out what was going on when I hit that error.

Thanks for the tip! But, I don't think that's the problem for me.

Have you actually tried it, its the most backwards thing ever but most bugs like this end up being something weird like that

[Parker]

Yes, I tried just in case , still didn't work .
