Understanding Scripts

[SpitForty]

Andy,

I'm back again. Not becoming a nuisance I hope

I managed to use boolean knife and cut away to take some mesh out of the larger mesh. Now I'm trying to apply a texture to it. I've loaded the texture using "search_and_set_texture <object> <texturepath> <texturename>" fine, but when I try to adjust the mapping of the object to the texture it doesn't behave as normal. I get this cross bottom left I can't adjust. Any ideas?



Now that isn't really a scripting question but the follow on is. I've worked out I can do Texture ReMap Top to bring it back to life, but I can't work out the TCL for that. I've found that "remap_textures <int window>" with a 0 does a remap "front" but can't work out what argument relates to remap top, if indeed I'm understanding this correctly.

Is there a similar file to the tclmenu file that reveals what TCL related to buttons in the texture panel i.e. these?



Thanks
Phil

OK, I found it. ac3duvedit.tcl

In it I found a bunch more AC3D commands that look very useful such as:

ac3d uv_remap 0 "map selected surfaces from front"
ac3d uv_snap_to_side top "move the selection to the top side"

ac3d uv_move_to $prefs_uv_move_x $prefs_uv_move_y "move (center of) selection to this point"

What I'm finding though is that AC3D is a little unreliable with these. I;ve had it crashing or beeping that it doesn't recognise the command. Sometimes it succeeds only after I've stopped TCL execution and started a secondary TCL script.

Any advice?

All is well if I launch the texture editor before I do these commands

Yes that's it. When you start the TCE, those commands are added.

The only thing I can think of is for you to call menu_uveditor from your script, which will pop up the TCE and add those commands.

Many thanks. I think I have the hang of this now.
