GMax day-night textures

[Guest]

Hi, I have been experimenting with gmax, I have made my chosen building and textures, but didnt want to do the night textures until I new everthing fitted. Now I have done so do I have to reload and remap all the textures again?Thanks David

No, you don't have to do that...Take your bmp that you used as the day texture. Convert it from dxt1 to bmp if you need to and then alter it to night, renaming it from yourfile.bmp to yourfile_lm.bmpThen convert both images back to dxt1 and recompile the gmax export as "withnightmap".Hope this helps..Bob B

no,Just make sure you follow the Microsoft convention for naming night textures.

Thanks to both of you, that saves me reloading and arranging the textures again.
