trouble with objects

next question is on turn marks

first thing:
signs are levitating:
levitating_sign.png

is there a possibility yet to draw the post without including it in the sign texture itself (that would waste alot of texture space..), as in Salzfelden?

second:
i try to use "turn marks" for several road signs and even ads, being either rectangular, round, or triangular. As far as i have noticed, there is only one back-sign texture, which is rectangular by default. if all signs where round, for example, i could use a round back-sign texture and everything fine. But as i have them mixed, one texture does not "really" work for all sign shapes.
any possibility without changing them manually in .ac-file?

@Simon-2,
Can you post an xml that exhibits the behaviour?
I will see if I can help.

Hi Joe,

archive contains the xml and the corresponding ac files (no textures included for file size...)


objects that work correctly:
gate
tent
Startbuilding
tribune
tree1 (from defaults)

objects that get wrong textures:
trackpost (gets the texture of gate)
camper (gets the texture of tribune)
trucks (get texture of tribune)

i guess that something is wrong with the ac files, but i have no idea what it could be. It seems to me that there is no logic, but the same objects work/don't work on every trial, so there must be a rule in this behaviour

Simon-2,
I downloaded the 7z file, but it looks like your missing the "objects-map.png" file.
So, none of the objects show up along the track. Could you remake the zip file or upload the object-map seperately?
Thanks

hi Joe,

workaround is already found (look above). Although i think this is a bug, as materials and textures are two different things and should be handled seperately (the most funny thing is that the whole track gets only one material in the track ac file, no matter what materials are defined in the objects' ac files. so materials are just used to mix up textures ), but i know how to manage it, now (just use different material names and properties for every individual texture). This also works if two textures are used in the same ac object (as long as the appropriate polys use different materials).
Track will be uploaded very soon

regards

I was hoping to get the file(s) without your work around. I have a theory about the problem, but I cannot duplicate the original problem to test.

okay, so one moment...
you only need objects map?
