The name of the texure is part of the model itself. So you have to set the texture in whatever 3D modeler you are using (sorry, can't help you with that, i'm not a 3D artist ). If you set the texture to "mytex.jpg" for example, you have to copy the file to Nexuiz/data/textures/mytex.jpg.

And if you want to place a new entity on you map, you need to have a function in your qc code with the same name as the new entity's classname.

For example, when you have a entity

Code: Select all

{
"classname" "base_team1"
"origin" "23 42 0"
}

you'll need a function like that

Code: Select all

void base_team1()
{
    setorigin(self, self.origin);
    setmodel(self, "models/base_team1.md3");
    // more things that should be done with this entity on mapstart
}

With the nexuiz_ents.def however i can't help you (i'm not a mapper ), but it seems like you already have solved that problem.

Hi dudes,
I always got the same problem with textures. I create my model and his texture. I put the model in the game, but I can't link the model to the texture.

Can anybody send me an exemple?

edit:ok there's a problem with my exporter. I think i can resolve the problem.

Another little problem:

I have create an entity in the *.def file. I put this entity on the map and it load perfectly on the game, with the texture(yeah). But the origin of the entity is '0 0 0'.

I affect the origin in the entity code with

setorigin(self, self.origin);

It seems the origin value doesn't send from the map to the engine.
Does someone got an idea on this problem.

Sry my messages are a bit annoying, but I'm noob with this engine.

Argh people with mapping experiance should take a look at this thread. You can try to load your map, open the console and enter sv_saveentfile that will save a file data/maps/YOURMAPNAME.ent that does contain a list of all the entities. This file can normaly be used to edit and change your entities without the need to recompile your map. Guess its worth taking a look at the "origin" of you entitiy in that file. And to see if it helps changing it there..
