Help Please - Objects with Multiple textures

[flyingjock1]

Hi Folks

Have coverted several api to successfully to mdl and then managed to get them to show in FS2004 using Instant Scenery but was wondering if there was any way of setting up objects with several textures, ie a mdl file with a texture for say ABC bus company then the same file with DEF company (in the same library). Only way ive found is longwinded ie create separate library containing each repainted texture. As well as costing time, means i have to add another scenery library to fs2004.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,

What you could do in ModelConverterX is the following.


In the material editor you can change the texture used. So there you can assign a different texture.
In the object information screen you will have to assign a new GUID (assuming this is for FSX, for FS2004 the GUID is defined in the library XML)


Then you have multiple MDL files in the end, referring to different textures. If you put all those MDL files in one single library BGL I think you have what you are looking for.
