Modding a love hate relationship

Ok that makes sense, but why wouldn't my version of the Seal on the pressure plate work? Do you have to make it in the GMT and do it that way, also do you have to make one for each of the maps, like .spec, .dif, and normal? I'll give it a try anyways and see what happens.

You should get on Skype tomorrow (I'm free all day) so I can show you the complete step-by-step process in real time, and ask questions a little more specifically.

If your normalMap doesn't look something like this:

SpoilerShow

Don't even bother having it in your definition. (it will cause your model to show up totally dark in game.)

Specular maps represent how specular light reflects off the object. Typically use can use a black and white version of your image with some increased contrast.
The whiter a part of the specularMap is, the more light will be reflected.
The blacker a part of it is, the less light will be reflected.

There are some nifty things you can do with coloured specular maps, too. (i.e Use yellow colour on it to make it look more like gold)

Ahhhh I see, ok, that makes sense. Yeah I should have some time tomorrow, I'm done Christmas shopping...finally! So I can work on this thing some more.

*huffs* Ughh well with Neikun's assist I have managed to get two integral parts of my dungeon complete, as well as an understanding of the GMT. But now my door lock doesn't want to show up or attach to the door, or wall for that matter. Its really strange, at any rate I will mess with this some more later.

[ExpDevourer]

I am back at it again, deleted my walls, re-doing them using the GMT, so lets see what happens this time.

Good luck! I have very little time to offer help for the next while.

Will do Neikun, whenever you get time, I'm not rushing this. On the note of creating though ughh I'm not doing something right, for some particular reason when I load up any of the preset's or even yours or Juho's walls etc, and try and change the material to the one I made I get this message *Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.* If you pick continue nothing happens, and if you choose quit it shuts the whole thing down. I am left scratching my head on this one, one would think changing the walls/floors/ etc for each floor, would be a simple task, so whys it so ******** difficult?

[Neikun]

That happened to me a couple times before, but I cannot remember what caused it. I just immediately reverted my changes and tried again

Hmmm odd, well I've tried changing mine, and the same thing happens. Not sure what the deal is, if anyone has time to explain how to change wall textures for different floors, lets say Blue on level 1, Green on 2, etc how would I go about that? I have tried doing it my way, and its done nothing but give me a major headache so any helps appreciated.
