[Asset Importer] How do I import new terrain textures? Empty
PostSubject: [Asset Importer] How do I import new terrain textures?   [Asset Importer] How do I import new terrain textures? EmptyMon 12 Mar - 14:36

I've been looking at the wiki and experimenting with the Mutliverse Asset Importer, but can't figure out how to import new textures.

I want to import more terrain textures like pebble-beach-sand, different cliff-faces and other textures to work with in the Multiverse World Editor, but can't figure any of it out.

Does anyone know how to add new terrain textures?

Thanks.

My ADHD must be kicking in, because I solved the problem, right after I posted this question.

I used the Asset Importer and set it to filetype: texture. Located a .jpg of the texture I wanted(in my case it was pebbles on the ground), gave it a description and saved it to the correct asset repository.

I then went into my asset definitions folder, located myfile_texture.asset where myfile is the name I gave the texture when I downloaded it, and opened the file in a .txt editor(make sure the file stays a .asset file and you don't rename the extension), and added this bit of code(that I copied by looking at another texture file that I tested and knew already worked in World Editor).

Code:
<Properties>
    <Property name="TerrainTexture" value="true" />
  </Properties>

Note: This needs to be added after </Files>, but before </AssetDefinition>.

After I copied that bit of code into my texture-asset file, I was able to apply it, inside the properties window, when I clicked on terrain display(where you can set each of the different textures). When you go to change the texture on part of the terrain, a new window pops up with a list of textures to choose from. The new texture was listed and correctly applied, when I selected it.
