i found a mirror01.dif file(demo) and after changing the scale of the mirror reflections become poor. I mean near objects are not reflected by the mirror. In fact, the mirror surface becomes blue without a slight view.
Thanks again...

Yes, you can not scale interiors that have mirror surfaces. Just make sure the interior is sized correctly @ 1 1 1. You could probably just correct it by modifying the code in mirrorSubObject.cc, but I just found it easier to export to the correct size.

İ tried to create a mirror on the floor. i selected the floor first, then add the mirror entity then i removed all the other walls and lights. Finally, i export it and built a dif file. i replaced it with the existing floor.dif file but while running it gave an error. So i need help (step by step) in details...(i know it is disgusting but i am not an artist)
Thank you...

I had trouble and the only way I got mirrors to work was to align the mirror entity exactly on the plane of the brush I wanted to be a mirror surface.

Check demo\data\interiors\mirror\mirror01.map for reference.

I downloaded the demo but mirror01.map doesnt exist in mirror folder but only the dif file and the jpg. So can you give me another reference to a map file to use, and also i d be glad to know if i could change the scale in the map file for this mirror issue without any problem

I had about 5 step by step (full picture for each step) on creating mirrors in Torque, lights, tagging and glueing... etc... basic things that are hard to catch at first... but lost all my info in the folder on my web server (my own mistake)... if its wanted I can recreate some simple tutorials with step by step images for simple Quark tasks
