Static objects

[ak3221]

This probably been covered and may not be searching it right. I was wondering if repaint a static object what do you need to change so both the original and redone object both show but are different. I can them to show but they come out as the same. Thanks

Copy the original shape and associated texture(s). Rename them as you see fit. Then, using Archibald or SFM, open the renamed shape file and rename the images (the .ace files) to match your new renamed ones. The new renamed shape should now display the new renamed .ace files.
Paint /edit to your hearts content!

Hi,

First, I'll assume this is for your personal use, on your own computer.

It'll seem complex, but really isn't.

Copy and paste the .s and .sd file. Rename them, and inside the sd file, at the line 'shape' change that name to match the new name of the sd file.

Copy the texture(s) you want to change and give it a new name(s)

Uncompress the .s file of the new object (if it is compressed, I use SFM)

Open the .s file with notepad. Scroll down to the section images. Change the name of the image (texture) that you modified to the new name(s).

Save the change, and exit the notepad. You can then recompress the s file with SFM.

Open the Ref file with notepad, and make a new ref file entry using the new shape name. Save the Ref file.

Freeware can be done with impunity. Shareware/Freeware, if permission was not granted in the readme, you will need the original author's permission before distributing. Distributing reworked Payware is a no-no.
