Hi, i just started creating my first map today and noticed something missing, all my textures. The texture menu just stops after alignment. Please help.
Thanks.

Pk3

Post by tltrude »

The editor gets it's textures for all the pk3 files in Mohaa/main. So if you trashed an old pk3, its custom textures will be gone. You should always place non-original pk3s in a temp folder in main when you are using the editor.

You can use custom textures, but you will have to extract them for whatever pk3 they were in and place them your final pk3.

also, make sure endefs.pk3 is in your main folder. that is where all the textures are stored, as well as other things. that pk3 came with the editor, and it was the only one to do so.

make sure in the installation you have the correct mohaa path set, if you dont it wont know where your main folder is. that can be checed in file->projectsettings i think, either that or edit->preferences.

main

The basepath in project settings should be:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\

At least that is where the game is for Americans. The default location for MOHAATools is C:\Program Files, although it doesn't really matter where it is. The path to store and load prefabs (edit preferences) can go anywhere you like.
