December 23, 201114 yr I have a custom texture I want to install without overwriting the original, so I'm trying to place it in the Custom Scenery directory and write a library.txt file to point to it, but it's not working. Here's what I've done:Created a directory called "Smoke Puff". Inside is the library.txt file and another directory labeled "texture" with "smoke_puff.png" inside. Basically this:Smoke Puff- texture-- smoke_puff.png- library.txtIn my library.text file I have: A800LIBRARYEXPORT texture/smoke_puff.png Resources/bitmaps/world/clouds/smoke_puff.png but X-Plane is still using the original texture. I'll admit I'm a complete newbie at this, so I'm probably doing (or not doing) something really obvious. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
December 23, 201114 yr I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the library file correctly, but it seems the first argument after EXPORT is where you want it to export to (a temp location perhaps?), and the second argument is where the file comes from, and it seems the paths are relative to where the library file is. Perhaps you can tryEXPORT ../Resources/bitmaps/world/clouds/smoke_puff.png texture/smoke_puff.pngorEXPORT texture/texture/smoke_puff.png texture/smoke_puff.pngJust a thought. Probably won't work though. Steven Intel i7 950, Gigabyte GTX 960 2GB G1 Gaming Edition Gigabyte RTX 2060 OC 6GB, 12GB RAM, HDD SSD
December 23, 201114 yr Author "EXPORT Resources/bitmaps/world/clouds/smoke_puff.png texture/smoke_puff.png" didn't work. Don't have time to try the other one right now.This is what the Wiki says: EXPORT <virtual path> <real path>The export command maps the object from the current scenery package with the given real path (relative to the scenery package) to a virtual path.http://wiki.x-plane.com/Library_File_Format_SpecificationThere's obviously something I'm missing here.
December 24, 201114 yr @MM,Why not just back up the Original "smoke_puff.png" and replace with yours leaving everything else as is? "It's ALL about Flying" i7-9700k @5ghz | 32gb Gskill Ripjaw 5 DDR4 3000 | Nvidia RTX 4080 | W10 Pro | Samsung 32" 4K TV | Virpil Throttle & Pedals | Winwing Stick
December 24, 201114 yr Author This makes it easier to see exactly what I have installed. Plus it will prevent the updater from asking me if I want to replace the texture. And I just want to learn how to do it for future reference.
