I have successfully created and textured a terrain in MED using the terrain texture editor as per the manual. I usedf 256x256 .tga textures. I then saved the terrain. I then added my terrain into my WED level. The terrain appears but it has no texture, just a plain white surface. I've been messing around but can't work out why it doesn't work! Any help would be appreciated. A7 Commercial First person submarine combat simulator project http://alexanderforeman.webs.com/fightersubgame.htm

Load the Texture as a normal Texture File, select the terrain, then right click on the Texture and select "apply". It's possible that the Textures Mapping is wrong that way. You can adjust the Textures Rotation in the Textures Properties. There is also another Way to solve that Problem, but I don't know it just now :-)

Or does it vanish in the engine? Generally talken, you should include the mtlFX.c, open that script and look for an action called something like terraintex3, because it offers you the advantage of three Textures that you distribute with the help of a main texture Last edited by Pappenheimer; 01/28/10 22:53. http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt

I'll include mtlFX.c and start learning it's uses. Do you guys have any pointers to setting up a water surface to simulate the sea? I've set up a basic surface using a large cube but I've found tit-bits in the manual about making proper water surfaces.

He doesn't give any source code or other details but I got some great links from his web page to free resources.
