Re: How impor into PAS a .obj model and .mtl texture?

I believe that Sandbox doesn't use the .mtl files for the .obj format, as mtl files are related to materials in 3D modelling programs. What you would want instead is an exported texture skin in either .jpg or .png format. What program are you using?

Re: How get a "soft" transition with different textures?

I don't quite see the difference in the before and after images, although I do understand what you're asking for from the first image. Yes, you are looking for blendmapping, I'd take a look at http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editref.html#texture_blending for general information on commands and at http:/...

Yes, it requires coding however, basically you say if something is true (e.g. if you have a mission done) then the map would change.

Re: Problem with Misfit Model 3D and Textures

I'm no expert with misfit, but did you actually paint anything on the texture? If you haven't, then the blue likely represents the space in between the UVs or something similar.

Re: Help with adding new textures

use the command /vscale ## where ## is the decimal percent (e.g. 50% = 0.5) you want to scale it down (or up) to.

Re: Newbie Question. creature and elevators wont show up

Which mode are you using (e.g. FPS, RPG, SSP...)?

I'm not so sure about RPG, but they used to work well in FPS mode. It's likely that they were removed for the watergunwars FPS mode that came with 2.8.

Re: Help with adding new textures

1. use the button when dealing with code.

2. The final line (exec packages/...) needs to go at the end of data/default-map-settings.cfg (or a similarly named file), that way the commands are executed and the textures are added when you create a new map.

Re: Doubt about install new PAS version under windows

All three are available options, although #1 may destroy your work. Your best bet is to go with option #3, then delete 2.8.1 if you decide you don't want it anymore (that is, after you transfer your files). Having multiple versions is plenty fine, I believe I have 2.8, 2.8.1 and I think 2.6 all on t...
