Best method of adding textures to models in DP

[JasonX]

I found that there are many ways of adding textures to my models in DarkPlaces, but i wanted to know which is the best method. Using Quake 3 shaders to point to the correct textures? Or just saving the textures with the model name + bump, diffuse, etc?

Using a .skin file's also a good idea to point to textures instead of using .shader

can you please add some link to a .skin tutorial? I didn't find so much explanation

thanks leilei

This a .skin

Code: Select all

surfacename,path/to/your/texture.tga
surfacealso,path/to/that/texture.jpg

Does skin support other maps (bump, specular, etc)?

[toneddu2000]

Is that all?
It's very simple. I thought it was much more complicated!
thanks leilei

PS: with surfacename do you mean? name of the model? Geometry name of the model(for example a blah.iqm model file contains two geometry pieces with each piece named "sword" and "barrel")?
