NxOgre [BloodyMess1.5.5] Spacegaier Tutorial 2.

I just completed the Spacegaier Tutorial 2: http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Bl ... Tutorial_2

I did a quick search first and as far as I can tell I am the first this has happened to?

Everything compiled, and the meshes are there... but no textures, everything is white...
I just copy and pasted the complete code: http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Bl ... l_2_Source
so I am not sure what I have done wrong...


should be:

You probably don't have the texture files lying in your media folder (or not specified it in resources.cfg as a path Ogre should look for resources). Also check the Ogre log (or post it here).

The textures for the cube are working... I copied these from the BloodyCake Example... I am not sure where to get the stuff for the Plane though....

Ive been experimenting with renaming files and trying things out, I am sure the main problem is my lack of experience with Ogre in general.

its this line right?
03:51:05: Can't assign material PlaneMat to SubEntity of PlaneEntity because this Material does not exist. Have you forgotten to define it in a .material script?

Well, your Ogre log tells you everything:

First, ogre.cfg is missing (not relevant here, but still an error). Should be in the same folder as your application (.EXE).

There is no material named PlaneMat. Just create one or take another existing from the Ogre SDK. It had just a simple texture in it.

sweet, took your advice and just used a texture from the OgreSdk and added an entry for it into the .material file.

It was the first time I used a .material file...

Glad you made it .

I have another quick question related to the materials, in this tutorial we use:
mCube = mRenderSystem->createBody(new NxOgre::Box(1, 1, 1), NxOgre::Real3(0, 40, 0), "cube.1m.mesh");

this is to use the cube.1m.mesh mesh for our cube meshes... now in the .material script that specifies which file to use for the texture we have:

material cube-from-nxogre.org : diffuse_template
{
set_texture_alias ambient_tex cube.png
set_texture_alias diffuse_tex cube.png
}

where does it get set to use cube-from-nxogre.org as the resource name in the .material file... I cannot find a refernece to this in any of the code.

betajaen uses some quite complex materials (with inheritance?). AFAIK there are some program files or such that are used. Not sure though, don't have them hee right now.
