Texture Overlays in NewDark for dummies?

redleaf on 25/5/2013 at 07:27

Does anyone understand how to overlay one texture on top of another in NewDark? Is it done by using an mtl file? Some kind of code maybe? I was hoping to discover this by reading the textures tutorial in the doc folder, but most of that jargon is beyond my ken.

Or maybe there is no such effect, and I misunderstood something I read earlier.

If you strongly need such an afect, I would recommend you to use some image editor like Photoshop. Can't believe you have a reason to do THAT in DromEd.
Anyway, I'm sure it is not possible. Any brush surface can have ONE texture on it, and any kind of overlay demands at least TWO.

You could construct some flat plane objects with alpha textures.

Thank you for the advice - pretty sure I was thinking of something that could be done through coding with mtl files for a 3d effect. Also possible I could be talking through my hat.

There's a thread around here somewhere with some testing of mtl files for shiny surfaces. Maybe that's what you're thinking of. I think Renzatic wrote it ... maybe (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140709) here?
