Textures not showing

by gr33ny · in Artist Corner · 06/10/2007 (6:35 pm) · 2 replies

When i export my constructor models into torque game engine, they show up black with only one face with the texture. when i move the object the blackness goes away and i can see all the texture perfectly but then a relight window pops up and if i relight it reverts back to to being black with only 1 textured face, if i dont relight though then when i load my mission it automatically relights it anyways, and im not sure what is wrong. im not sure if this is in the right section but i appreciate the help. thanks

I am having this EXACT same problem. Any help would be appreciated. I had to modify my engine/interior/interior.cc to look like the following to resolve the bug where null.png textures were causing a hard engine crash:

now my interior.cc file looks like this:

the beginning of the setupActivePolyList reads: 

void Interior::setupActivePolyList(ZoneVisDeterminer& zoneDeterminer,
                                   SceneState*        state,
                                   const Point3F&     rPoint,
                                   const Point3F&     osCamVector,
                                   const Point3F&     osZVec,
                                   const F32          worldZ,
                                   const Point3F&     scale)

{


 // These global variables need to be initialized in case we return early  
   sgActivePolyListSize  = 0;  
   sgEnvironPolyListSize = 0;  
   sgFogPolyListSize     = 0;

and since that change it fixes the crashing bug but I am getting the error mentioned above. Texture EXISTS but becomes black upon relight. When you move it its textured again but becomes black upon mission relight and/or game restart which both invoke relighting.
