Is there a way to change the texture path for an md3 model in radiant?


I placed a model for my map in
(1) instead of
(2) but it keeps looking for its texture in path (2). I want it to look for the texture in path (1) of course.

And yes, I adapted the shaderfile and changed the path to the texture there, but this seems to be ignored. There's a message in the q3a console saying "looking for <texture> in <path (2)>" and the texture is missing in-game.

Shouldn't the texture be addressed relatively to the model?

You need to re-export your model if you want it to look for a texture in a different location.

edit: maybe not :icon32:

Add a keyval "_remap" "originalShadername;remappedShadername"

If you need multiple remappings, use _remap01, _remap02, etc. I believe this needs a recent q3map2 to work.

Thanks for the idea, but it didn't work for me. Maybe due to my q3map2 version, Q3Map (ydnar) - v2.5.16, linux.

Recognized I didn't need to do this anyway, it was a bit late when I posted that it seems. :-/

No need to rename the shader at all - simple change the path to the texture in the shaderfile and leave the shadername alone.

Works, it's now taking the texture from the right path.

Hmm, that q3map2 should be recent enough to work.

Maybe it needs to be "_remap01" and not "_remap". I honestly can't remember.

Doesn't really matter, if someone needs it he/she can look it up in the q3map manual. Nice to know it's possible though.

For future reference it's "_remapshader" not just _remap.
