TrC · January 2010

How soon is the soon? Cant still get editor working, fixed the memory leak but brought up other problems more about the game please :<

slayer20 · January 2010

Yeah, none of the textures are working for the new models.

Kouji_San · January 2010

Multiple entity editing... VERY NICE!!!

Now can I please have my texture locked flipping tool <i>/poke /poke /poke /poke /poke</i> :P

Pipi · January 2010

Yep all the new props aren't loading the textures it seems. The path inside the .model file is fine. They're all using the generic_wire_01 material.

PierreOfTheFrench · January 2010

Great news! Glad to hear the game development itself is being focused. That "alpha for preorders soon" has really got me pumped :)

WatchMaker · January 2010

Excellent. Thanks, Bill.

Pipi · January 2010

Also, refinery_wall_16_d.dds has no specular in alpha.

when i try to update to 135, from 134 i get this error
Couldn't write to D:\Program Files\Natural Selection 2/Builder.exe, installation aborted
Error applying patch file "C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Temp\update_000036ee\patch0.patch"
Backup restored

and the installation does not continue and i stay at 134, any help

Popenator · January 2010

Try closing out of Builder, which hides itself as an icon on the notification bar in the lower-right-hand corner of your screen.

If that doesn't work, restart your computer and then try to update.

pSyk0mAn · January 2010

"Added ability to set individual parameters on multiple selected entities of the same type"

Awesome!

And thanks to Bill!

540raven · January 2010

thanks much, it worked

Popenator · January 2010

Glad I could be of service.

prevertmaximus · January 2010

Yes all the new props aren't loading the textures it seems for me as well. Models are there, but no textures.

whoppaXXL · January 2010

Fix missing textures: You need to edit 2 files:

<b>Goto Directory:</b>Program Files (x86)\Natural Selection 2\ns2\models\props\generic\cables

<b>Edit with notepad:</b> generic_cablebox_01.material

<b>Replace Content with:</b>

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><material>
    <maps>
        <map type="texture" value="models/props/generic/cables/generic_cablebox_01.dds" />
        <map type="bump" value="models/props/generic/cables/generic_cablebox_01_normal.dds" />
        <map type="specular" value="models/props/generic/cables/generic_cablebox_01_spec.dds" />
    </maps>
</material></div>

<b>Save...</b> <u>Then...</u>

<b>
Edit with notepad:</b> generic_wire_01.material

<b>Replace code with:</b>
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><material>
    <maps>
        <map type="texture" value="models/props/generic/cables/generic_wire_01.dds" />
        <map type="bump" value="models/props/generic/cables/generic_wire_01_normal.dds" />
        <map type="specular" value="models/props/generic/cables/generic_wire_01_spec.dds" />
    </maps>
</material></div>

<b>Save...</b>

That should sort you all out till the next patch.

Fix Thumbnail previews:
GOTO:
Windows 7: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\Editor\cache - Empty the folder and then launch the editor.
Other OP's might have it in C:\Documents & Settings\, <b>AppData</b> is a hidden folder.

I've played a fair few games, and in my opinion the art being churned out for NS2 is some of the best and most detailed I've seen in nearly any game. I think its a pretty on par if not better than the level of detail in Bioshock.

Great work, keep it up!
