PLAYUP MATERIAL FIX TUTORIAL

HI ALL,

YOU MAY HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN YOU EXPORT THE MODEL FROM PLAYUP INTO YOUR CRYSIS WARS MOD FOLDER THE MATERIAL DIDN'T SHOW UP PROPERLY ... THIS IS BECAUSE THE DDS TEXTURE FILE ISN'T BEING CREATED AUTOMATICALLY (AS IT DOES WHEN YOU EXPORT TO YOUR NORMAL OBJECTS FOLDER). THE TUTORIAL BELOW SHOWS YOU HOW TO FIX THIS.

ESENTIALLY, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MANUALLY CREATE A DDS TEXTURE FILE IN PHOTOSHOP THAT HAS THE SAME NAME AS THE TIF TEXTURE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED WHEN YOU EXPORTED THE MODEL. SAVE THE NEW DDS IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE TIF FILE AND PRESS RELOAD ON THE MODEL WITH THE MISSING TEXTURE.
