I'm slipping... I have one of the pressure plates with the replace texture on it, and I'm trying to apply the snowcrun texture, found in the vmawwin folder in the crf. Now I can do it if it's a custom texture in one of my own directories, but this is giving me a headache.
Can someone refresh my memory?

Generally speaking, you should never use terrain (family) textures as replaceable textures on objects, you should just make a copy and put it in obj\txt16 and use that.

What Yandros said. Never use the texture in a FAM sub-directory. Make a copy and put it in TXT16.

Why not? It's been done that way for years and I don't recall any problems arising.

Played through it twice and then promptly uninstalled the POS.

HERESY!!!
(That remind me that a weird guy who is maybe a Square Enix guy has commented my youtube channel telling me that I'm wasting my time with T2 and must play T4...)
But let's be in the topic.
I didn't know that bugs occure when we use a fam texture for a replace texture... I oftenly use them and never had any bugs... :erg:
You can even use a mesh texture... Really!

That's good. So what is the proper syntax, assuming the texture is in the crf?
R Soul on 18/4/2015 at 21:40
fam\vmawwin\snowcrun
But neither Yandros nor LarryG would say "don't do it" without a good reason, so I'm not denying a problem exists, just that I happen to be unaware of it.

Normally, you just have to use the properity, If I remember correctly:
Shape> TxtReplc x (x is a number) : FAM/[YourFamilyFolderName]/[YourTextureName]
Do not forget to change your pressure plate material to make it fit with your texture! ;)

If you set a texture that's already used on a wall or something, the monolog will tell you: Trying to SetData on a Locked Resource!
And if you do that often, DromEd will just crash.
