8 terrain textures instead of 6

#41 Hi Fritz,
thanks a lot man, that did the trick! Seems to work now, just gotta re-texture the terrains! :)

#42 Phew, extending the texture editor to 16 textures was really annoying to do...
Here are the parts you have to change in common/editor/EditorGui.cs:

function EPainterChangeMat(%file)
{
   // make sure the material isn't already in the terrain.
   %file = filePath(%file) @ "/" @ fileBase(%file);
   // beffy: change number of textures here
   for(%i = 0; %i < 16; %i++)
      if(EPainter.mat[%i] $= %file)
         return;

   EPainter.mat[EPainter.matIndex] = %file;
   %mats = "";
   // beffy: change number of textures here
   for(%i = 0; %i < 16; %i++)
      %mats = %mats @ EPainter.mat[%i] @ "\n";
   ETerrainEditor.setTerrainMaterials(%mats);
   EPainter.setup();
   ("ETerrainMaterialPaint" @ EPainter.matIndex).performClick();
}

function EPainter::setup(%this)
{
   EditorMenuBar.onActionMenuItemSelect(0, "Paint Material");
   %mats = ETerrainEditor.getTerrainMaterials();
   %valid = true;
   // beffy: change number of textures here
   for(%i = 0; %i < 16; %i++)
   {
      %mat = getRecord(%mats, %i);
      ...

If somebody needs the code for that scrollable control I've used, replace your "EPainter" gui control in common/editor/EditorGui.gui with the contents of this file (MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING SO!) - you'll have to change the texture paths in there, though!

This could save you some hours positioning all the controls :P

#43 I get the same crash as above, i extend the editor to 16 textures, change the mask to 0x31 but still get a crash in the level loader, looks like it is expecting the level save file to have 16 materials when it doesn't, could this be a TGE 1.3 problem?

#44 Anybody get this (get the terrain texture painter to display 8 terains) to work in 1.5? I added the 4 guictrls each for the 7th and 8th terrains, and upped the iteration from 6 to 8 in relevant functions. The editor still works , but only displays 6 terrains. help?...

#45 I have managed to get 10 in 1.5 by changing the iterations. I also had to resize the holder in F10 mode.
I also had to change the positions in the cs file with the following.

Sorry if this dont make sense, i'm a newbie.
If you need me to explain in more detail let me know.

#46 Nice, I definitely like being able to use more textures. Allows for more ground cover. Like when you do beach maps or something, many times you have sand, dirt, grass, concrete(if a city is on the coast), rock, etc.

Good resource.

However, there is a problem for mine. When I add this, and change directories, etc etc., it doesn't let me hold down the right mouse button to pan the camera.
