Hello,

Question about the material editor; Easy to use and all that but its only possible to drag one texture at a time into your Deled Categories. This is certainly ok if you have like 10-20 textures. Problem is i have like 800 in each map. Only solution i can come up with right now is to split those maps into more maps containing fewer textures for slightly more control. That is however alot of work and its still a hellish to add them all ;P

do you want to use all those texture's in one scene ?

you can just drag all the texture's in the windows maps towarts the deled/texture maps. In the material editor you can drag one texture at a time, but why would you want to use 800mb of texture's in one scene?

(if you mean that loading the categories takes a long time with a large amount of textures, then yes the only solution is to make more maps)

Do you know how many 64*64 textures in DXT1 you can fit on a high end 640mb card
Jokes aside.
No i probebly wont be using 800 textures in a single scene or level/map. The reason i want this many is becase its handy to have your texture libary at hand. This way i can try numerous of diffrent textures to see how they look and feel before i decide on one.

Loading times are not my major concern thats something i can live with, what bothers me is the fact you can only drag a single texture at a time. No way around this i guess?

I will probebly make some more maps and categorise my textures a bit better.

I've posted a long time ago the same thing about having so much Textures. If you have PRO (or doing it on the default texture libary) you can write a batch which stores all image-filenames into your *.dml file. Thats the only possible way. But beware, the loading times can be extreme long (deactivating the 3d ball and specular reflection increases the speed a bit.)

I guess its much of a luxury problem.
