Author | Topic: Do objects share textures in a WAD?
Phabius Phodes Member Posts: 648 From:Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 04-21-2002 09:31 AM Once I was retexturing a pushable block added to the sethtomb WAD. It worked ok, but the dog seemed to have parts of itīs textures from the block... I wonder if objects share the same textures sometimes, and if itīs safe to deliberately change the textures of an object without affectong other objects in the same WAD... IP: Logged

Phabius Phodes Member Posts: 648 From:Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 04-21-2002 03:20 PM I did not reach the limits. So itīs not safe to deliberately retexture objects (?) They share textures (?) I mean not just change the object texture with some other tile from the same set, but actually just repainting the parts pertaining to a certain object with another program. Of course all objects which use that particular tile will be changed... Is there a way to know which textures are used by objects, like the Find Texture feature on the LE, but in Strpix? IP: Logged
