Change tiling when creating skins

DeTeEff · April 6, 2017

Hello

I'm fiddling with modules and try to change the skins on my interior pieces. When I change a texture I use the 'old texture - new texture' method but is there any way to manipulate the stretch of the textures when creating different skins?

These are some of the skin defs and these are working perfectly because all of the wallpaper textures are aligned similarily and are the same size so there is no seam (they all align perfectly when I change skins). But how do I do if I want to, for example tile/scale a texture differently? Is it possible without going into some model software and create a speciffic UVmap?

Skin file

skin wallpaper_floral_blue
{
model models/modules/int_green.ase
model models/modules/int_green_door.ase

textures/darkmod/paint_paper/wallpaper_floral_green textures/darkmod/paint_paper/wallpaper_floral_blue
}

skin wallpaper_floral_yellow
{
model models/modules/int_green.ase
model models/modules/int_green_door.ase

textures/darkmod/paint_paper/wallpaper_floral_green textures/darkmod/paint_paper/wallpaper_floral_yellow
}

I'm not aware of a way to do this, but would love to have it. Searching for scale-matched textures is a bit of a bother.

One way could be to create a surface INSIDE the model with a certain texture that you stretch as you see fit, then change it to a nodraw-texture and keep the stretch. Then you create a skin file that changes the stretched nodraw-texture to the one you want. And then change the 'regular' texture to a nodraw-texture...It feels a bit haxxor though...

Example

{
model models/modules/int_green.ase
model models/modules/int_green_door.ase

textures/common/nodraw textures/darkmod/wood/panels/panel_decorative_frame //Change the stretched nodraw to the panel with correct stretch

textures/darkmod/paint_paper/wallpaper_floral_green textures/common/nodraw //Remove the wallpaper by replacing the material to nodraw

}
