• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Problem assigning night texture...

Hello,

Since updating to the latest MCX release I am having a problem assigning my night texture to my object. I manually add the night texture in the material editor and both day and night textures are together in the same folder however when I try to do a night render in MCX the night texture does not show and I can't convert it to dds in the mass texture converter. I've attached a screenshot of the issue. This has only happened since updating to this latest release...otherwise all of my other models have been working fine adding night textures. I also have noticed that there is an extra folder path appearing in the main texture file inside the material editor which the night texture does not have. The program wasn't doing this in the last release and I am guessing this might be part of the issue.

Hi Brandon,

You already gave the answer in the last part of your question. The difference in the path is why the night texture is not found. So if you type it in front of the night texture as well it will work.

Another option is the use the material preset for night textures (available in the combobox). That will take care of the path for you.

The way texture paths are handled in modelconverterx has changed quite some time ago, so you old must have been quite old if it did not show a path for the day texture.
 
I tried typing the path however that did not work either. The path I typed disappeared when I clicked to close the window. I will try your other suggestions. I was using version 1.20

It should be possible to type a path. Only when you use the file selection dialogue it will store the file name only.
